Story
|
My pantry used to look like a macaroni and cheese aisle in the grocery store. Aside from the money recklessly spent on all those little boxes, the ingredients listed are enough to leave a chemist tongue-twisted. Coming up with a kid-friendly version of homemade macaroni and cheese has lifted the burden of guilt I felt feeding my kids all those additives, and it's given me back a large portion of my pantry! Enjoy!
