Creamy Stovetop Macaroni and Cheese
26
I love homemade macaroni and cheese. The stuff in the blue box just doesn't seem to cut it for me. I prefer the real stuff. Anytime I ask my 4 year old what she wants to eat for lunch, she always replies with macaroni and cheese. It never fails. On her birthday I asked her what she wanted for dinner and her reply was the same, macaroni and cheese. Since it was her birthday, I decided to give in to her macaroni and cheese addiction, but not from the blue box. She got Homemade Creamy Macaroni
