New Old-Fashioned Mac & Cheese

Recipe Idea: New Old-Fashioned Mac & Cheese

Hi. It’s Lois at Recipe Idea Shop, telling you about our New Old-Fashioned Mac & Cheese recipe. Macaroni & Cheese has always been a comfort food in our family, even though many of us now know we are allergic to cheese. I sure wish I could eat it! I made some today for a family that is grieving a family member’s loss. It’s one of my “go to” recipes to take to friends when they need support.

This New Old-Fashioned Mac & Cheese, which is a Moosewood Restaurant recipe, contains three different cheeses, milk and that crowd-pleaser, pasta. Kids love it. Adults love it. This recipe is the best mac & cheese recipe you’re ever gonna find. Really. It’s that good. Everyone I give it to raves about it.

Tasty stuff: New Old-Fashoned Mac & Cheese

When our daughter Roni got married, Don made this delicious New Old-Fashioned Mac & Cheese (for 80 people!) to supplement the caterer’s food. He did a fabulous job, too. What a guy! Add a Green Bean Tomato Salad as a side dish to prevent you from eating too much of this amazing comfort food.
