Smoky Pumpkin Mac & Cheese

Everyone loves mac & cheese, and this recipe is the perfect way to sneak some veggies into your diet this fall. If you’re near Kalkaska, make sure to swing by De Vor Dairy Farm & Creamery for their amazing gouda cheese.

When making this recipe, you can use canned pumpkin puree if you’re in a hurry, but homemade puree is worth the extra time it takes to make. Follow this recipe to make your own and you’ll never go back to using canned. If you don’t have pumpkin around, this recipe would work great with any pureed winter squash (butternut, kabocha, or buttercup to name a few).
