This past weekend I got my Fixate cookbook in the mail and have tried 3 recipes already, I have loved every single one of them! The cookbook has 101 recipes to use with the 21 day fix portion control program. This cookbook is broken down into different sections and I have fallen in love with it! I like simple recipes that uses items I already have in my own kitchen and that the husband and baby boy will love! The family has loved all 3 recipes so far...so that is a win in my book.
Here is the recipe for the Mac n Cheese with Broccoli and Chicken. Enjoy!

Family Approved! |
Finished product |
I cooked the chicken, broccoli, and noodles the night before so the day of cooking I did not have to do much. This made making the dinner super simple and quick!
