Macaroni and Cheese

I first learned about this recipe shortly after Alex and i we're married. It was shared with me by Julie, a dear friend after a discussion on the mac n cheese "debate". Boxed versus home made. I personally love home made mac n cheese but the hubby has never liked it, says it's gritty. So when Julie recommended this recipe, i was willing to give it a try. Though in all honesty i was a little nervous when i saw Velveeta in the ingredients list.
No need to be nervous, this dish is super creamy and full of flavor. It is now one of my favorite dishes to make and Alex's to eat. Though i wouldn't recommend making it every day, for health reasons, it makes a great addition to the fall menu. A warm and comforting meal that will have everyone saying Mmmm!
