One of my earliest memories is eating mac & cheese (homemade of course) at my great grandparent's house and marveling at the little lumps of golden cheese. Boxed mac & cheese is terrible compared to this!!!
Homemade mac and cheese!! yes!! After marriage and children, I'd gotten in the nasty habit of using boxed mac and cheese... until we went to a funeral and at the dinner, someone had brought REAL mac and cheese... It brought back such sweet memories and I've never bought another box again... that was 25 years ago!!! There's just nothing like the old ways... thank goodness for Southern Living magazine and the recipes!!!
