SOUTHERN MACARONI AND CHEESE
When we think of macaroni and cheese we always think of Grandma Carol’s ultimate comfort food, her cheesy Southern Macaroni and Cheese!
It is so nice when we get to go back to the Carolina’s to visit family, we wish we could go more often. There is so much history there and we love to see it all. As much as we love to visit all the places, we can’t wait to get together with family for some good old family food favorites and great chats.
