Tonight I Made My Favorite Comfort Food

Macaroni and Cheese.

I like my mac & cheese on the dry side.

You don't see puddles of cheese sauce here.

But don't think the dish is lacking in cheese. Oh, no....there's plenty of cheese in this casserole.

Underneath the crunchy crust of Italian-seasoned bread crumbs & real butter, you will find creamy milk-softened pasta shells covered in sharp Cheddar cheese.

Believe me when I say each time I raised the pasta-filled fork to my mouth I experienced a moment of pure pleasure.

Now I am off to do a few sit ups (if I can still lift my upper body!).

    Mac and cheese is my mostest fav food in the whole world. I was taught by the best Lutheran Lunch Lady in the universe that it's best with American cheese, Zoey!!
    Really, is there a soul on Earth who doesn't love mac and cheese?!

  5. Nice to see you Sandy and Sue. Are you Sandy in Canada? I get the Sandy's confused as it seems there are about three diff. Sandies!

    Pea,
    Now there's an exercise program I could stick to!

    TWT, I don't have a recipe. I just cooked 16 oz. of pasta al dente, threw in cheese (about a bag and a half of shredded cheddar), dumped in a couple cups of milk, 3/4 stick of butter,pepper. Sprinkled bread crumbs on top and then drizzled 1/4 cup butter over them. Then I threw it in the oven for 35 minutes. Simple, easy, delish.

    What Sissy? NO CHEDDAR??
    LOL. Lots of times I mix a bunch of different cheeses--whatever I have on hand.

  6. I love homemade mac & cheese so much, I only make it when I have company, so I won't eat the whole thing.

  10. Oh...your mac & cheese looks so good and it's making me hungry.

    I think we've just about seen the last of our tomatoes. I spotted a couple of strays this morning, but that's about it.

    Your potato dishes also looked great and the deck party sounded like a hit. I like the size of the deck too. His pond is also looking good.

    What do you mean you don't like your quilt enough to quilt it...I think it's beautiful.
    I hope you get it done soon so we can see your next project.

    You are a woman of many talents.
