Macaroni and cheese - the ultimate comfort food

Macaroni and Cheese

Macaroni and Cheese

Ever have one of those days, where nothing seems to go right and even the cats are mad at you for some reason you can’t quite figure out? Today was one of those days. The last thing I wanted to do when I got home was cook, but with nothing in the house to eat (shopping day is tomorrow), I had no choice.

So I put on my sweats and got online to search for a recipe for the comfort-iest comfort food I could find. And I found it in this recipe from Martha Stewart for homemade macaroni and cheese.

Forget the blue box - this macaroni and cheese is the cheesiest. Warm and gooey with a crunchy breadcrumb topping, it’s the perfect meal for those days when you’d rather just give up and crawl into bed than eat dinner. And with plenty of leftovers, it’ll make a great meal again on another day.

    Yum! Nice photo. I love making mac and cheese…I find you can increase the white sauce (made with low fat milk) and use a bit less of a stronger cheese (like asiago) to decrease the fat a little. A sprinkle of nutmeg is good in it, too!
