The other day, I woke up at 6 am anxious, excited, and unable to sleep, waiting for the sun to come up. Why you might ask? Well because I knew that it had been snowing all night and I couldn’t wait to see what it looked like outside. As I have mentioned a real winter is brand new to me. Seeing snow fall is something I have only seen a handful of times. So as soon as the sun came up my boyfriend Craig and I ran outside to the park across the street to enjoy the falling snow. It may have snowed a little last week but this time we got about 5 inches. It was very exciting for us. We were definitely the only people out there!
The cold weather made me crave some comfort food, and what is more comforting than macaroni and cheese? Almost nothing I think. So that is exactly what I made.
Look at all that cheese! Yum!
I used 3 different cheeses for this recipe: sharp white cheddar, mild yellow cheddar, and fontina. If you ask me these are some of the best cheeses to use when making mac and cheese. The cheddars give it a nice flavor and the fontina gives it a rich creaminess. Really you can use whatever variety of cheeses you want, this just happens to be one of my favorite combinations. Gruyere is also a winner when it comes to mac and cheese. I have tried a lot of cheeses when it comes to making mac and cheese…
