I have needed comfort food after this week of hell. There is nothing worse than when your child is sick and you feel like your world is spiraling out of control and you feel helpless. Comfort is what I need. All things positive. To be surrounded by love and health.
My kids request this Mac and Cheese all of the time. Hubs loves it too. I was raised eating Nana’s Mac and Cheese. This was my great grandmother’s recipe. Laura Moore, I think she was part Saint / part goddess, everything she cooked and baked tasted like manna. My Mom will tell you not to add an onion, but that’s the way I have always made it.
Pure unadulterated comfort. Thank you Nana, my tummy feels better and your great great grand daughter is finally home recooperating.

Recipe from Nana
Hi Nettie! Love this mac and cheese so much. I am not a fan of the orange one made from the contents of a box. This one has all the things I like. It has a high drool factor.
Thank you Adora, it has been a long time family favorite for a lot of generations, whenever the kids ask what I am making for supper and I say Nan’s Mac and Cheese, they always say Yeah!!
