RECIPE : Ol’Fashion Mac N Cheese

Mac N cheese is one of my favorite foods. I can enjoy it hot or cold. What a great combination. When your grilling this season don't forget to add this essential side dish. You will be the envy of your friends. YOU CAN NOT leave this off the menu. For an extra kick, try adding bit of buffalo chicken wings to the recipe. I added 1/2 a cup to the recipe. We do live in Buffalo, the home of the wing.
