Directions:
Cook the Elbow Macaroni as directed by package. Make sure you add salt to the water when cooking. For cheese sauce, add the milk, butter, cheeses and nutmeg and cook on a low heat until all cheeses are melted, Add cooked elbow macaroni and cheese sauce to a casserole dish. Mix and let sit for 30 minutes. If all liquid is absorbed and macaroni looks dry, add milk to dish and mix it. Add the crackers to the top and place in a 350º oven for 45 minutes.

This is basically a kids friendly recipe, using the basic cheeses I listed, but to make a adult mac and cheese I will use Gouda, Gruyere and sometimes truffle oil.

On my 60th birthday party, people were asked to share a special memory and many referenced my cooking and especially my mac and cheese. This truly warmed my heart, since I show my love to many by my cooking.
