I started this blog because even with numerous cooking shows and cookbooks out there, there are many of us who still don’t know how to cook a simple nutritious meal. I feel that the number is growing everyday due to having a full time job and being overwhelmed with the daily struggles of life. We opt to purchase boxed meals or fast food. Everyone should know how to cook. It’s a necessity.<\/p>\n
This recipe is dedicated to my good friend Maryanne and her lovely daughter Angelina.<\/p>\n
Saucy, gooey and yummy\u2026<\/p>\n
If you want your kids to eat healthy, learn to make it from scratch. Cooking should be simple and fun but certainly not instant. Learn to use a few good kitchen tools and clean as you go along.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There are three parts to this timeless classic: – the sauce, the pasta and the topping.<\/p>\n
After tasting this delicious version made from scratch, you\u2019ll never make mac and cheese out of a box again.<\/p>\n
