Macaroni Cheese

Growing up Canadian there is no better comfort food than macaroni and cheese. If there's a person in Canada who didn't grow up eating Kraft Dinner then they aren't really Canadian. I did a student exchange when in high school and when my exchange partner left to return to Germany she took some Kraft Dinner with her...what does that tell you. But maybe your a little older, a little wiser or don't live in Canada anymore (or never did - who knows whose reading this) the thought of eating powdered cheese maybe has lost some of it's appeal to you (heresy!). Well friends, you can get all the comfort of your Kraft Dinner without all the processed foods from this recipe. I can't say that this recipe is any better than the baked mac & cheese I've made on a whim myself but perhaps you're not the kind of person to just toss things in a pot and hope for the best. If you are the kind of cook who needs some sort of reference or compass while cooking I recommed using this one for your baked Mac & Cheese. And may I take the liberty of making a suggestion of my own...adding a little broccoli to any mac & cheese recipe is always both healthy and delightful. I obviously didn't do that here because Nigella didn't call for it but that's what's so good about mac & cheese is it's really a kitchen sink meal. You can toss in what ever you need to use up and it will taste delish.

So husband and I enjoyed a nice comfort food lunch - but I can't say this will by any means relieve me of my addiction and guiltly pleasure of a nice bowl of KD now and then.
