I LOVE mac & cheese. Everything from gourmet restaurant style to KD, I can’t get enough of it sometimes. Particularly home made, comforting, and easy mac & cheese. There’s just something about it that’s like…. that imaginary grandma who hugs you through your tears (and well, when your hangry!) and covers you up in big blankets and tucks you in. That’s what easy mac & cheese is about. Even when you’re not down in the dumps, it just makes for a quick, super yummy and satisfying meal .. or side… or snack… ….. or dessert…..
