The Mac and cheese looks good. I hadn't had any in years until I tasted one of the grandkid's dinner during spring break. Better than I remember as a kid.
ReplyDeleteCarrie, That all looks like very good food. When I think of all those blue box mac and cheese I fed my poor daughters. LOL Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteThat all looks like very good food.
ReplyDeleteFabulous!
Looks delicious. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteYour mac and cheese looks delish! I'm on a low carb thing so I can't have the pasta.. wah. I tried low carb pasta and it was so horrific that I threw it all right in the garbage can. So nice to meet you! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteSneaky cheese! Oh yes! Looks very very good. I have to eat totally gluten free, so we occasionally get the Annie's Creamy Gluten Free mac n' cheese and it is SO good! The cheese comes creamy in a packet and tastes like you made it homemade. It's the only kind we like or will eat anymore. But your sneaky cheese... now that sounds awesome.. we use nutritional yeast on alot of things and it sure adds to the taste. Especially love it on baked chicken tenders and scrambled eggs! Yum!
