It is hard to come across a family that does not have a favorite macaroni and cheese recipe these days. Back when I was growing up the only kind of macaroni and cheese that most people knew about was one made from the little blue box with bright orange powder.
Little did my parents really understand about all the preservatives and non-foods that were in this! Today's parents are much more sensitive to preservatives and non-natural foods, and as such they make more of an effort to make foods like macaroni and cheese from scratch. The beauty of this is that you can play with your recipe to come up with a version that is perfectly suited to your family's taste buds. There are so many options to choose from!
The good news for those who are not all that comfortable in the kitchen is that there are few things that taste so good that are as easy to make. Today, I thought I would share with you one of my families favorite recipes!
