Mommy felt a sense of contentment as my inner dialogue called out over and over “treat yo’self” and I had lunches for days for my kids.īottom line here is that this is now the macaroni and cheese recipe you need on your holiday table or anytime you’re feeling the need to just hole up and eating something yummy because not every dinner can be salad, you know? To compromise I made this version, and adults and kids in my house rejoiced and all enjoyed the creaminess and crunch of this satisfying recipe. (Clearly no accounting for taste) In their defense her version uses a hefty helping of gruyere (which is delicious) but the nutty bite it brings turns my kiddos off… they want simple. For YEARS on thanksgiving I have been making Martha Stewart’s Perfect Macaroni & Cheese to rave reviews from adults and yet my children who crave Annie’s box prepared version always seem to stick their little noses up. Macaroni and Cheese while always consisting of cheese and pasta is so open to creativity. I won’t lie after eating a bowl of this, I felt a whole lot better. So I made this absolutely delicious macaroni, covered in creamy cheese sauce and topped with the crispiest cheese and bread crumb topping ever. It just felt like being run down and tired, anxious about the state of the world and specifically our hotly contested election this year, I deserved some comfort food. It’s such a home run kid food and what I would call classic comfort food. Why am I am talking about this in my post for macaroni and cheese? Because it’s not a food I usually allow myself to eat but so many folks absolutely adore it for the holidays. I myself am no stranger to anxiety and every time I feel the slightest tickle in my throat or get winded during my morning run I convince myself I’ve got the virus. This is such a strange time for all of us right now and coping is something we all do a bit differently. (Does this happen to anyone else?) Luckily, I was able to have two tests both of which came back negative and hearing this news along with eating a giant bowl of macaroni and cheese pulled me back to life. I felt completely exhausted and was convinced I had Covid 19. I want to preface this post by saying I had a bit of a creative block last week.
