My New Mission

Ok, it's 7:20 on Saturday morning. I am not only awake, but am showered and dressed! Unfortunately I have no place to go until 9:30, which is usually pretty early for a Saturday morning, but in my case today, I have about 2 hours to kill.

So I thought I would inform you all of my new mission: Mac N Cheese. Feel free to join me if you like. For the past month I have been CRAVING Mac N Cheese. No, I'm definitely not pregnant, but went so far as to getting the 9-pack of Easy Mac from Sam's Club last week. They are now stacked all over my little kitchen. Easy Mac is nice and quick, but just doesn't hit the spot. So the past couple times Matt and I have gone out to dinner, I have looked with dissapointment to find no form of Mac N Cheese on the menu. At the Marcaroni Grill I even asked if there was anything like Mac N Cheese. Other than the kid's menu, there was nothing. And the sweet waiter was all ready to sit down at our table and help me create a "custom" entree, which I embarrassingly declined and ordered chicken parmesean instead! But thus began my mission: there has got to be some good recipe for grown-up style Mac N Cheese. You know, elbow macaroni, cheesy, flavorful, breadcrumb topping perhaps?

Last night I pulled out all my recipe books, cards, and did a little internet searching. So I have a list. I have my recipes. And I hope to discover the best grown-up Mac N Cheese out there! I am even prepared to combine aspects from multiple recipes to find the absolute best. Perhaps you know of a great recipe already, that could make my mission very easy :) But if not, I will be sure to share my discoveries with you!

No matter how grown up we are, you are never too grown up to enjoy our childhood favorites, in a more grown up way!
