I've seen Pip at Meet Me at Mikes sharing her Sunday night supper for a while now. I think there are quite a few others joining in these days too. I'm not going to be a regular but thought I'd show off my efforts from last night. This is one of my favourite winter dishes. It's so delicious and warming. I've had the recipe pasted into my recipe scrapbook for about 10 years and can't remember where it originally came from. It's easy to make and if you're a small family like ours then you get left overs for lunch for a couple of days.

But oh dear. My Sunday Night Supper comprised of 4 weetbix with warm milk and raw sugar...! Maybe I should set out the recipe for that delicacy! :-)
Yum, that looks delish....it's getting printed out and going straight to the kitchen!

Oh I could eat macaroni and cheese most any day. It's one of my all time comfort foods. This one looks pretty filling and yummy. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
That does look yummy! A perfect winter dish.
Yum! Macaroni Cheese is a huge favourite in our house too - but your version is fancier than mine, so I'll definitely have to give your recipe a try. Thanks for sharing!
