Cooking with Annie
Even though I have some freshly made chicken fillet in my fridge, today I am going to make a classic baked macaroni and cheese casserole. Since I have a pack of macaroni, some milk, a couple of eggs and some cheese for the souse, I think I have got pretty much everything needed. But wait a second -- I checked the recipe and I also need some flour. I do not think I have any, given that I do not cook much. And I also ran out of butter, so I need to buy some. Or maybe I will ask my neighbors to lend me some of the ingredients I lack...If not butter but at least a cup of flour.

Even though I have some freshly made chicken fillets in my fridge, today I am going to make a classic baked macaroni and cheese casserole. Since I have a box of macaroni, some milk, a couple of eggs and some cheese for the sauce, I think I have got pretty much everything needed. But wait a second -- I checked the recipe and I also need some flour. I do not (or don't) think I have any, given that I do not (don't) cook much. And I also ran out of butter, so I need to buy some. Or maybe I will ask my neighbors to lend me some of the ingredients I lack...If not butter but at least a cup of flour.In informal writing like this it's more natural to use the common grammatical contractions like "don't" for "do not." I'm not sure whether you're targeting British or American English. If it's the former, there's a chance I'm mistaken about changing "pack" to "box," but even there I have a feeling they might use "packet," rather than "pack."

The second one is actually because i think it sounds better, so it´s more of a second option.
Hope it helps!
