I gave this recipe to a co-worker as she was looking to find a mac and cheese recipe that wasn't from a box... this morning I had a note on my desk.... "A huge hit with everyone at Thanksgiving dinner... the kids loved it, the adults wanted more. A 5 Star recipe for sure! This will be part of our Thankgiving dinner for years to come!"

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
