After my husband and I got home from our vacation a week or so ago, I was craving some good old fashioned comfort food. We had eaten out for every meal for 9 days straight and we were both tired of restaurant and fast food. I thought that good old fashioned, homemade mac and cheese sounded good! I really did not make this when my kids were growing up and I cannot figure out why, because most kids love mac and cheese and the homemade kind is so much better than the boxed kind!
This recipe is from my mom, who was an excellent cook. She cooked a hot homemade meal for us every night and she always made everything taste so good! My mom was a great teacher and I thank her for her patience and willingness to let us cook in her kitchen! (Some days I really miss my mom) I hope that I followed her example by allowing my kids to feel free to cook and experiment in my kitchen. I hope that you will let your kids cook with you and that you can share some fun memories in the kitchen, because that is where we spend so much time together as a family.
This recipe is one of those good comfort foods that I turn to a lot of times. It is easy to make, yet is a good hearty soup that will fill you up and make you feel oh so good!

Some of my friends and I and my girls have attended the Taste of Home cooking school a couple of times. They are always fun to attend and you always get some great ideas. At one of the ones we attended they did this Baked Potato Soup. It is such a good comfort food and it is so easy to make. I usually have most of the ingredients in my pantry and fridge, so I can make this at any time.
