Anna's Macaroni and Cheese

Hi Everyone!!
So the Real Women of Philadelphia Contest is over, and we're still waiting on the last two finalists to be announced in the dessert category, but I know it won't be me as I didn't submit any dessert ideas!  I had grand plans for a few desserts... ice cream sandwich cheesecake for one, dessert sushi for another.. but they either didn't pan out or I ran out of time!  It was fun while it lasted, and I sure enjoyed being in the 'spotlight' in the entree round last week!  Seriously, just seeing my video in the highlight reel with all those other talented ladies with amazing recipes just made me completely giddy! I forwarded the link on and posted it everywhere I could.. and I might as well post it again here!

I really received such great feedback about my recipe for meatloaf cupcakes - thank you to everyone for taking the time to pass this on to me.

I've been craving a good mac and cheese dish for awhile now, so in the spirit of Philly, I made Anna Olson's Macaroni and Cheese.  It turned out really good - very creamy!  I didn't bake it as I was running short on time (picture steaks already off the grill and a hungry husband waiting in the wings) but it was still delicious!  I'd like to make it again sometime with a breadcrumb topping -- yummmm!!  I am not that great with measuring pasta so I had a bunch of sauce left over, that I reserved and have been serving on broccoli.  I love having this little bit extra kicking around to dress up my veggies!  Anyways, you can find the recipe for Anna's Mac and Cheese here!  Enjoy!
