What’s better than warm ooey-gooey macaroni and cheese on a cool fall evening? 5 different mac and cheeses!
We skipped last year, but this year was back with a vengeance and then some. As with all previous years, there is a slight nod to veggies, but the cheese rules the night.
There were several with chile or spicy notes. V was the only one that had a creamy white cheese sauce with ham. K had a couple of secret ingredients: pureed pumpkin and miso! We had 2 gluten free options, but you’d never know. C made the green beans with a hint of ginger.
There was no clear winner because they were all amazing and so different. If there was a winner it was the dessert. M made the most amazing banana pudding. Not only was it a beautiful work of art- it was tasty!!
I think this is the best mac and cheese night we’ve had.
