AS CLOSE TO GRANNY'S BAKED MACARONI & CHEESE
My granny was an amazing cook, but like most great chefs she did not follow any written recipe. Unfortunately, I came into cooking long after her passing and when the hunger pang hit me one Sunday...I began searching far and wide for her macaronni and cheese out there. This is as close as I've come.

A friend of mine sent this recipe to me when I got my first apartment, because she knows how much I hate cooking! It's really easy -- even I can make it -- and tastes great. I'm not sure where she found the recipe, but it included the note 'Good source of protein, vitamin A, B group vitamins, calcium.'
