Macaroni and cheese: one of America’s favorite comfort foods.

 A link from eating well.com popped up on my email today about 32 comfort foods for fall. On the list was macaroni and cheese: the ultimate comfort food.  Their video clip underscores some of the FMP “Tips & Tricks.”

• Use a full-flavored sharp cheese in the recipe. Reduce the amount.
• Use whole wheat macaroni or mix with semolina.
• Add steamed veggies to pasta meals.
• Make your own white sauce and add spices.
• Comfort foods are ok when used sparingly.
