ITALIAN STYLE MACARONI AND CHEESE
This recipe was given to my mom by a family friend over 30 years ago and has been enjoyed on many holiday occasions or just on an average Sunday dinner. This dish reminds me of wonderful family gatherings around the table where the only thing that surpassed this comfort food was the laughter and love we all shared. I hope you will experience these moments with this dish.
