I love homemade Mac and Cheese, can't stand the box type, but love the homemade version! I will try it. I think Mom will like it too. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou mean you can actually make mac & cheese when it doesn't come out of a box?
ReplyDeleteAren't dogs funny? What personality!
MIL's mac-n-chs is to cook elbow noodles. grease a casserole dish. pour in a layer of noodles, top with a layer of cheddar (she slices from a block, I've found shredded is a LOT easier since I keep a 4lb bag in the freezer), then a layer of noodles and a layer of cheese...make sure it's all topped off with cheese. pour in milk to about halfway. bake at 350* for an hour.
ReplyDeletemy changes have been to add some garlic salt when I'm layering, and to use evaporated milk.
Happy Wednesday!!
The eggs hold it all together really well and add a bit extra protein, like you don't get that with all that cheese, LOL..enjoy!
ReplyDeleteCerebral, I think that generationof our moms and grandmoms were more comfortable with slicing things like cheese..I can' do it without going to the emergency,so I shred..and I must try the evap milk!
Oh my gosh my grandson lives on mac and cheese. This sounds good! Sandie
ReplyDeleteI love mac and cheese. I'll be right over! LOL!
ReplyDeleteAnd I check and check every time I leave the house. Can't leave the stove on, even though I haven't turned it on all week. ;-)
AND I love cruise ships, too, and take my camera with me. I know my friends who don't blog think I'm nuts. And I'd buy gas, too.
I would buy chocolate with a dollar... if you could get chocolate for a dollar. ;-)
No pharmacists in the family, but does my neighbor count???
And I think it would be cool to be a meterologist, but I'm so unscientific it isn't even funny.
And my dogs (when they were alive) were a never ending source of hilarity each day.
XO,
Sheila :-)
Me too on #5! I have always been fascinated with weather.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you all know how much I appreciate all your comments..friends who don't blog just don't understand how awesome it is, do they??
