So… our team lost the Super Bowl. It was a sad, sad Sunday in our house. I was fresh off of a plane, and got home around kick off, so I was not in charge of game day snacks. However, come Monday, hubby and I needed some comfort food.
I pulled out an old favorite: mac and cheese. Ooey, gooey, cheesy, carby, comfort goodness to mend our broken hearts. And it worked! My husband loved it and it definitely cheered us up on a gloomy day. Give this recipe a try when you are in the mood for something warm and comforting; I promise it will do the trick!
