Easy Mac & Cheese

I've got a couple of "projects" coming to a head in these next two weeks, including final exams and projects for school, so I've been working on things other than updating my blog.

It happens.

While I've been a bit on the busy side with other things, I haven't been too busy to eat.  I've been making some new dishes and experimenting with some culinary projects while I'm at it, so there will probably be a few more recipe/cooking posts in the next couple of weeks.

Just wanted to warn you.

Yesterday I had a hankerin' for some Mac & Cheese.  I practically grew up on the Kraft Mac & Cheese Dinners, and as a kids they did serve as dinner.  The last couple of times I've tried making more of a baked Mac & Cheese like my grandma used to, but I haven't figured it out yet.  I have managed to find something somewhere in between these two extremes on the cheesy pasta goodness scale.  It is pretty easy to make, and good to eat.

Add everything except the macaroni to a small (2qt) pot, heating to

a boil.  Add in the pasta and cook, stirring often, for about 10 minutes.

Garnish and serve.  I like a little salt & pepper, but sometimes a little sriracha hits the spot.
