And I realized why I had to take a break. I suddenly understood why Mom was so happy (see above list). We eventually had our first baby and then – WHAM – like it was just yesterday, I found myself serving the ultimate guilty pleasure to my own bambino…and lots to myself. But life went on, I got married, and John and I moved back to Nashville to pursue our dream. I was in NYC, working hard at my first job, eating all the trendy ethnic take-out food, trying to be healthy when making my micro lettuce salads and homemade dressing in my tiny apartment. Then you might have taken, like I did, a looooonng break from mac ‘n cheese as a young adult. Mac ‘n Cheese may be the most ultimate-family-comfort-yummy-happy-cheesy-creamiest meal you’ll EVER share with your loved ones! (Note: we are featuring our Cat Lovers Pasta, see cheesy cat face?). There is no feeding the dog under the table. There is no begging or sneaky deal making about eating your vegetables. Let’s face it…families don’t argue over this meal.Kids were happy, therefore mom was happy.
You never saw your Mom happier □ as she made her way to the table. I divided this in 2 containers and froze one.Homemade Mac ‘n Cheese (or the ole favorite “blue box”) served to you weekly for dinner while you were growing up.
I make my sauces in the microwave turns out great and never scorches. When sauce thickens, add cheeses, salt and spices to the sauce, and stir until all the cheese has melted.Cook the sauce for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching.Gradually add milk, whisking briskly to maintain a smooth sauce.
