Nana’s Mac and Cheese

Macaroni and cheese is a favorite comfort food for many, served as both a main dish and a side. Just thinking of that ooey-gooey cheese makes me want to go bake some right now! What is it about the food that makes it so satisfying? The cheese? The pasta? Maybe it’s the crispy breadcrumb topping some people like to add. I think it’s how the ingredients go perfectly well together to make a creamy, crave-worthy comfort food. My favorite part is the corner that is well done with the softness of the pasta and cheese underneath.

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.
