Can you believe it’s February already!? Like seriously, where did the time go? Since the busyness of the holidays are over, we can kick up our feet and relax or maybe even kick-start our spring cleaning. On slow weeknights in Spring, I love to whip up this easy 4 cheese mac and cheese to satisfy our tummies.
Perfect Ooey-gooey 4 Cheese Mac & Cheese
My husband can’t get enough of his mother’s mac and cheese and since i’m married to him I had to learn had to make his favorite comfort food.. But of course with our own twist. This ooey-gooey four-cheese macaroni and cheese is so rich and creamy! Also, what I love about this is Rell and I experimented with many different four-cheese before we found one that we liked. You can mix it up with the cheeses. I was able to find the truffle cheddar at our local Aldi Stores, however we also have tried Smoked cheddar or smoked gouda works just as fine that we found at Publix.

Cooking can open you up to so many possibilities. Furthermore, I believe figuring out what makes your taste buds leap off your tongue is only half the fun.
I finally found a recipe that my husband deemed worthy and I’m super excited to share with you all.
