For supper, macaroni and cheese is ideal. Both adults and children enjoy it. It’s a kid favorite. My recipe is straightforward and nearly as quick as the prepackaged stuff. If you like ham, peas, and shallots, try this variant.

One of my family’s favourites
Made using some leftover Cure 81 ham, but it was bland. Added some basil and red pepper flakes, and liked it much better.
Puts regular mac and chese to shame! We love this!
I made this with my own homemade mac and cheese recipe, and I put it in a baking dish topped with panko bread crumbs and baked 20 mins at 350. So yummy!
yummy 😉
