While there are a lot of Mac and Cheese out there, this is by far one of the best. On those cool winter evening when you are craving warmth, this mac and cheese recipe hits the spot.

Many years ago, while in high school our high school cafeteria served the BEST Mac & Cheese recipe ever. Over the years I have honed my recipe,  this the final result.

It is a meal pleaser with our children requesting it often. Plus simply heat it up in the oven to eat for lunch or dinner the next day.

Admittedly the Queen of Typos, Cyndi Mills strives for none, but one or two always seems to slip in. She apologizes! Over the last 29 years Cyndi has had the opportunity to move around the country with her husband, Scott and their four children. Having lived in Chilliwack, Edmonton, London, and Petawawa. She stumbled into the world of journalism by accident – looking for a career that could give her the flexibility to work from home to be with her children and support her husband's military career. Cyndi is also a military parent as her two oldest children are in the military. Raising her third and fourth teenagers, she tries to keep sane by walking, gardening, writing, and spending time with her family while running Canadian Military Family Magazine.
