This BBQ Chicken Mac and Cheese recipe is part of the Sverve #SmokehouseBBQ campaign. Recipe and thoughts are my own.

We just found out that the weather on Halloween is supposed to be pretty rotten.  And by rotten, I mean it’s going to be in the 40s with a 70% chance of rain.  There may be a very soggy Elsa by the end of the night.

So before we head out to trick or treat, I’ll be making sure that everyone eats a hot, filling dinner. One of my go-to meals is homemade mac & cheese. It’s Bubbles-approved, and everyone else that has tried it, loves it.

While I was growing up, my Mom was a stay-at-home Mom.  Before my brothers and I were born, though, she had a career as a stylist.  As a young teen, I remember sitting under one of those salon-style dryers in the comfort of our own home, feeling pretty cool.

Hair Tips for Busy Moms

Having a stylist Mom meant there was very little reason to go to a salon, as I had my own personal hair-care expert under the same roof.  She shared a lot of hair tips and tricks with me over the years, and many of them that were applicable to an on-the-go teen are equally as applicable to my life now as a busy mom.  Now I want to share them with you!
