"This mac & cheese is absolutely delicious! I had never liked mac & cheese, but my mom had me try some of my Aunt Mandy's one night and I fell in love... I had to get the recipe! It's actually pretty simple to make. My aunt spent years trying different ingredients & methods and finally found the perfect way. So here it is!"

- Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden and bubbling.

This was good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I added a good bit of pepper as we thought it needed some seasoning. Made for Spring PAC 2011. -

I'm in college and studying Graphic Design. I'm also minoring in nutrition and want to go to grad school for food science or nutrition.
I absolutely love cooking and trying new recipes. That's one of the main reasons I couldn't live on-campus... the cafeteria food. Homemade food is always best!
