Whenever I’m feeling down and stressed out, nothing soothes my troubled soul like some good old fashioned comfort food. And there’s no food in the world that comforts me more than macaroni and cheese. That’s why earlier this evening, when I was a bit of a nervous wreck, I turned to Martha’s All American section on page 46 and made this creamy, chewy, buttery mac and cheese. After chowing down on this oh-so-comforting dish and watching some DVR’d Monk reruns, I’m feeling much better now! I think that if more people made this macaroni and cheese recipe they’d be able to save a fortune on therapy and anti-anxiety medication.
It’s easy to make so if you have some of those boxed, pre-packaged mac and cheese atrocities in your pantry, I strongly advise you to take the box out back, set it on fire and salt the earth where its ashes rests so that nothing may ever grow there again! Then go make Martha’s recipe instead and discover how delicious real mac and cheese can be! As Monk would say, you’ll thank me later.
P.S. Isn’t it cool the way this photo makes it look like I reached into the book and took a big piece right out of it?
