macaroni & cheese (the good way) & garlic mashed potatoes .. a double whammy

Im not going to lie I like mac & cheese even the gross kind... but this, this is a yummy treat in our house
and it gets gobbled up quick....

in fact we threw our girl a little Rylan Regatta way back when... made two heaping huge pans of it, and I never got a bite in time.... I guess it was a hit.. Try it for yourself...

in fact I tried to snap a pic of it when it popped out of the oven... but it was already dispersed....

so here it is in its shinning glory with ribs, & garlic parmesan mashed potatoes..
