mac n cheese

So I was having a lazy day and wanted something simple and settled on some mac n cheese. Then for some reason while in the check out line I decided I want to spruce up my mac n cheese. I decided to also buy some broccoli. In my fridge I already have a package of turkey bacon that I want to throw in.

Ingredients needed
1 box of mac and cheese (I bought the 12oz Velveeta's shells & cheese)
5 or 6 slices of turkey bacon
1 broccoli bunch

Boil water for the pasta and while that is going on is when I gave the broccoli a rinse and cut off the stem. I cut the florets of the broccoli to be fairly close to bite size. Some people don't like eating the stem, but I don't mind them. I trimmed up the stem slightly and cut them up into cubes, again, about bite-size. Plus the smaller they are, the faster they cook up. Take the turkey bacon slices and cut them up to about the same length as the width of a broccoli cube. If they are all about the same size, it's more enjoyable to eat in my opinion.
In a pot put about a quarter size amount of olive oil and throw in the broccoli about medium to medium high heat.. Don't forget to put in the pasta in the boiling pot of water around this time.
In a pan put about a dime size amount of olive oil and throw in the bacon. Monitor the pasta, bacon, and broccoli and make sure everything cooks up evenly. You might want to put this at a lower temperature so that way you can focus on the pasta and broccoli first. Just make sure you mix it up every now and then so it all gets cooked.
When the pasta is done I toss in the cheese mix as well as the bacon at the same time. The broccoli goes last but only because I don't want it all covered in cheese.

At my local store they were selling cases of Pepsi and Mountain Dew Throwback which is made with real sugar as opposed to high fructose corn syrup which is something the body can't really process. Plus I think these tastes better anyway.
