Notes: Happy Birthday Maggie!! I went to a macaroni and cheese birthday party where there is a big contest, and this was my entry. 2 prizes were given, one for best tasting and one for most creative, and I won most creative by a landslide!! How cool! This is my first culinary award!!! I was so happy I almost cried. I also had multiple people come up to me asking If I had tried the dessert mac and cheese and how good it was without them knowing I had made it, what a big compliment. This mac and cheese was so easy to make it almost scared me, and I thought it up while I was folding shirts at work, how silly! This is a must try if you are going to a pot luck. It will blow everyones minds. It is good in small portions, I couldn’t sit down and eat a big slab, but so so good!! I really don’t think it could have been any better. I hope you try this and thanks for the prize Maggie!! (She has been with me in this project since the beginning, you rock girl)
