About me: I collect cookbooks and love to cook and try new recipes. I tested recipes for Leite's Culinaria for almost eight years. I learned to cook from many good southern cooks including my Mom, Dad, several Aunts and my Grandmothers. My children and husband also like to cook and try new foods and recipes. My son still lives with us but our daughter is married. She often visits to cook with me. We are adventuresome eaters willing to try new things.

Woman's Day
(October, 2012)

This could be a main course or a side. This particular recipe was noted as a side and there are other recipes included in this section called Beyond Basic Mac 'n' Cheese to turn this side into a meal. We enjoyed the cheeses in this one, lowfat cream cheese, extra sharp Cheddar and Gruyere (I used a less costly Swiss instead of the Gruyere). The only complaint is that the tiny bit of cayenne wasn't enough to tell it was there. If I want spicy I'd add a little more. I can't wait to try some of the other version of mac and cheese in this article - Bacon, Tex-Mex, Cajun, and even Ruben Mac and cheeses.
