Nothing is quite as satisfying as carbs or warm & gooey cheese on a brisk, cool day. I had a slice of swiss cheese & Adam had an apple last Sunday, we were snacking & hungry for lunch. We started talking about apples & cheese – the rest is history. We went to the grocery store immediately to get the ingredients for the mac & cheese that suddenly was on our minds.
Mac & cheese dishes might be my favorite thing to make & I plan on keeping them coming for fall. This one is very mild & delicious.
