Last night I threw together my next attempt at Homemade Mac n Cheese... The people who claim "it's better than the box" have never met my 4 year old. I didn't add the red pepper flakes or hot sauce since I wanted the kiddos to eat it...so that left it too bland for me. Of course, I ate it but I wouldn't make it again. This is not to say this isn't a great recipe...it's just not a meal that our whole family will enjoy.
I asked Odin what he didn't like about this Mac n Cheese and he said, in the whiniest voice possible, "The holes are too big." After digging a bit deeper I came to understand that it was the noodles that were different than his beloved Kraft... the "holes" in the noodles I used were "too big."
I think the next time I make something like this I am NOT going to call it Mac n Cheese... that might be a big part of the problem. Ah, well... hopefully the babies will eat the leftovers for lunch today. :)
