Macaroni and Cheese

I hate (and I mean HATE) the nasty velveeta macaroni and cheese stuff you can buy from the store.  I hate the shells and cheese, I hate the Easy Mac, I hate it all.  Adam, on the other hand, loves it.

So last week I made real macaroni and cheese, made with elbow macaronis, two kinds of cheese, milk, butter, flour, and diced onions.  It was damn delicious and I ate like 4 servings of it.  Adam moved his around on the plate looking for the neon yellow cheese he is so very fond of.    And complaining that it didn't have enough cheese.

In a bold attempt at compromise, today I made the Kraft "Homestyle" Macaroni and Cheese, which still includes the neon cheese substance as an ingredient, but also calls for butter and milk.  As mac and cheese goes, it wasn't bad.  It's not my Mom-Mom's mac and cheese (which I inexplicably do not have the recipe for) but it was way way better than the other stuff and, although I hate to admit it, marginally better than my homemade attempt.

So if you're not a Neon Goop Mac and Cheese kinda gal, the Homestyle Mac will do for a quick fix.  But I'm not giving up on the real thing.  I think I just needed to use different cheese and more of them.
