Homemade Macaroni and Cheese
I was pretty excited that my son was coming home for the weekend from school. My husband had worked hard all week and I wanted to make a side dish to go along with the rest of the meal I planned. Who doesn’t like mac-n-cheese as a side dish? This side dish turned out so well and received a lot of compliments. This is a rich-tasting dish but not too heavy. If you have time, you can make it during the week, but I suggest making this part of one of your weekend meals. It goes really well with baked chicken and steamed broccoli.
