I'm old now, and my friends are having babies.
Which gives me an excuse to make food!

Because seriously, what's better than that!?
After making some for her family,
I KNEW we needed to have mac & cheese for dinner.

So, we did a simple meal last night, because sometimes
it's nice just to have a relaxing, 20 minutes and done meal.
If you're into homemade mac & cheese like I am, here's my recipe!
Here's what you'll need:
2 cups of macaroni noodles
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp ground mustard
1/4 tsp worcestershire sauce
2 cups milk
2 cups cubed cheddar cheese (I used a mild cheddar)
In a medium sauce pan, boil some water, and get that macaroni cooking.
While your water is getting ready, grab another sauce pan
and over low heat melt the butter.
Once the butter is nice and melted, stir in the flour, salt, pepper,
ground mustard, and worcestershire sauce. Let that heat up until it's smooth.
[ Smooth as in doesn't look lumpy, it will not be a liquid]
Now you're ready to add your milk. Bring it to a boil. Stir constantly.
After your milk is boiling, add all of that cheese.
Let it heat until your cheese is all melted.
Since I know you've already finished your pasta, pour that amazing cheese sauce
that you just made into the pan that you have your pasta in, mix it up and eat it!
Enjoy!
Now THAT will be "what's for dinner tonight! Both my kids love m&c.
