4 Cheese Mac and Cheese

Holiday Recipes, main entrees, sides

I can’t believe this was the first recipe I ever shared with the universe. Mac and cheese will forever be one of my favorite meals. My mom thought I would get over it once I grew up, but no. Still not over it. Now I’ve transitioned over to truffle and lobster mac and cheese. Who know’s what varieties will come up 20 years from now. 

Unfortunately, I don’t have a million pretty pictures to share with you guys because I didn’t really care about photos in 2012. I just wanted to upload the video on Youtube and call it a day. I would love to recreate this blog post with lots of nice and cheesy photos. The kind with the stretchy cheese. Ahh. But for now here is this amazing recipe and video tutorial. Hope you enjoy my first video ever 🙂
