It took until my senior year, and fourth Friendsgiving, to figure out what my signature dish is for a potluck. Mac and cheese! Freshman year I brought some boring dessert (because I could not think of anything), sophomore year I brought a huge bag of wine (oh yeah, nice one grace), and for junior and senior year, I brought my homemade mac and cheese.
I decided to contribute this for my junior year Friendsgiving because my house was hosting it, so I could easily cook it in our own kitchen, and my mom had recently made it at home and I loved it. Of course I forgot to save the recipe when I was at home with my mom, so I had to text her for the recipe, then I got cooking. It basically involves a lot of cheese, a lot of milk, a lot of butter, and bread crumbs on top.
Now comes senior year and we are signing up for dishes. My roommate was filling out the spread sheet and without even hesitating “Grace, you’re making mac and cheese, right?” Oh, I am? I guess that means people liked it last year and now it’s my thing. Easy! I know how to make that. Oh wait, I didn’t save the recipe… time to text my mom. What would we do without moms?
So, if you want a nice and easy recipe for mac and cheese, here’s the link! (I’m saying that now but while cooking it, I was getting super mad and frustrated and made a huge mess, but hey! It’s for the end result)
