I thought everyone might like an easy and great recipe to enjoy while quilting!!!! 
I just posted this one to the Mac and Cheese thread in the Recipes section and knew I must share it here.
A few years ago, when I first saw this recipe, I thought there was no way possible it could work. Yet it was one of those recipes that you "knew" you just had to make to prove it was good ... or not so good!
The original source was www.dairygoodness.ca ... and their recipes are always winners. So if you want some good dairy recipes, then trot on over and spend some time on that site.
And so, I made the recipe, with that knowledge and confidence ... and I was not disappointed ... OMG, it was indeed THE easiest and bestest ever!!!!
The BEST Macaroni and Cheese!!
Heat together over medium heat, til steaming
3 cups water
1 cup 10% or 18% cream (I use 2% milk and it is fine)
Stir in
3 cups macaroni (uncooked)
1/4 tsp. salt
Cover and reduce heat to medium/low.
Simmer about 8 minutes, stirring often, til macaroni is almost tender.
Whisk together
2 tbsp. all purpose flour
1 tsp. dry or Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp. pepper
1-1/2 cups milk
Stir into pot with macaroni and remaining water/milk.
Increase heat to medium.
Cook and stir 3 to 5 minutes or til sauce thickens.
Remove from heat.
Stir in til melted
2 cups shredded old or extra old cheddar cheese
If you enjoy it even a smidgeon of what I do ... then you have a new family favourite!!!
**Notes**
* I use 2% milk for both lots of cream/ milk and it's still delicious
* If you prefer a crispy topping, put into casserole and bake til crusted.
* Can be made a day ahead and re-heated in the oven if you wish.
* Freezes well in single portion sizes or casseroles.

Sounds great!! We had Cottage Bacon from Western meats this morning; scrambled eggs with sour cream and butter with cheddar cheese on top, and toast with homemade apricot-pineapple jam. Western meats of Queen City, Mo., ships all over the world. Their meat is out of this world. The cottage bacon is cured shoulder meat...like bacon only less "fat" in each slice...and bigger slices.

QNS...So sorry about your car, but so happy for the time you can spend with your friends. Remember, as trite as it sounds, I firmly believe "everything happens for a reason". Enjoy your time with your friend and be thankful you car broke down in a safe place.......

Love the lilies for Easter. QuiltE, come on down anytime. Free room and board... and a quilting room to work in with billion pattern choices. We are close to airports and major highway.
Susan told me today that I was spoiling her, and she would hate to go home again. My answer was to move in next door, so she would be closer. I know she would in a New York minute if anything happened to her dh, but we hope that both of them a long and fruitful life. Its great the our dh each get along together and enjoy fishing together. That gives us more time to converse together. Yes, I believe, everything happens for a reason, and it was a true blessing to have made it over to a good mechanic before I turned the GMC off and it was close to our friends whom we had planned to be with that day.
