I adapted a recipe I found on the blog site, Chunky Chef, it’s BEASTLY GOOD.
#Mac n cheese recipe with ritz crackers mac
Mac and cheese has moved to occasional status-holidays, first day of winter, bowl of comfort day, or of course, National Cheese Day.Ĭalorie laden, luscious, ooey-gooey, make you wanna slap your momma, no holds barred, damn delicious mac and cheese. Now that the kids are adults, pasta all day everyday is a thing of the past. I tweaked it to try to make it a little healthier by using 2% cheddar cheese, 2% milk, and substituted broth for some of the dairy. So I spent a lot of years making Mac and cheese from scratch.

But I’m pretty sure their time in college more than made up for the lack of processed and fast foods when they were little. I look back and think maybe I went a little overboard. I made macaroni and cheese from scratch and avoided my childhood favorites like Twinkies and Ho Hos. Being one of those crazy moms, I vowed to keep, processed foods and fast foods to a minimum. When I had kids, my mac and cheese world expanded. Come on, you can tell me, your college self loved Stouffer’s too. As I got older, my taste grew more sophisticated, the blue box was cast aside in favor of Stouffer’s Mac and Cheese from the freezer section of my supermarket, student life-student food. Pure marketing genius, neon yellow orange sauce. I unabashedly admit as a kid, I looked forward to the blue box of Kraft’s “Cheese and Macaroni”.
