If you are looking for a healthier version of macaroni and cheese, you’ve got to try Macafoni and cheese. Sometimes the THM recipe titles crack me up; but, then I sample the dish and think, yes, the mamas have done good!
It’s a really good alternative to the Blue and Yellow box comfort food I grew up on and it’s tasty, without the guilt or the carb crash! I even thought the final dish looked like mac and cheese from my growing up years. Thumbs up from me. For some reason unbeknownst to me, The Salesman would not try this Macafoni… The second time I added cayenne flakes and garlic to his and he still left it on his plate..
I thought the flavor, texture, and taste were delicious! Try this recipe Mamas!
