Easy Homemade Mac and Cheese
I refuse to buy the box stuff with all the garbage they put in those, I am even suspicious of the organic versions so I just don’t even bother. As my regular followers should know, I like to know everything that is going into my food and even with organic versions I have looked at there is still all kinds of ingredients with mysterious names. I am sure my scientist husband could tell me what a lot of the ingredients are but I just don’t like it, so I don’t go there. I just make my own! This is still not something I make even every week but when we need a quick something on the weekends or when other kids are over I’ll whip this up. It’s basically just a white sauce with cheese in it. Pretty basic, pretty easy to do and pretty tasty.
