| Oh mamma! I'm going to print this and make it on a cold snowy weekend. Doesn't sound low cal but who cares???? Did the recipe how many servings this makes? Looks like it would feed any army. |
Man oh man I can't wait to try this one!  |
| Hi Paula,
The paper said it serves 8 (and a small army, lol) Enjoy! We already had flurries here, that accumulated to 1/2 inch. Nothing like snow to make me think of comfort food! |
snow....wow...it's mid 70s here today. I hope we get some good snow this winter.  |

Tammy, Just a few inches of snow for effect !! Skip the blizzards 
Nice weather mid 70's  !!! |
| Yes, we have wonderful fall weather. Low 40s at night and mid 70s in the day. I don't think I'd like to have as much snow as you guys see, but one really good 15" snow would be nice. It's been years since we've had one like that! I think the dogs would LOVE it!! And it'd be a perfect time to try out this recipe. |
| 5 chesse and mac.........where is the cardiologist?? But what a way to go! |
| Yuck, who on earth would go out of their way to make mac and cheese complicated?! |
| There's a difference between the long prep mac and cheese and the stuff in the pouch. Both are served here, alas, the pouch more often than the long way. Ah, but the good crunch on the top from a good oven bake, the velvet texture on the tongue, the intricate flavors.........oh great, now I'm hungry. |
| Oh Stacey~! I feel so sorry for you!

| LOL
I just hate to cook. I really love homecooked meals, but I like things slow cooked all day, like stews, soups, roasts done in a slow cooker etc... things that are easy to put together and leave all day. |
