| Day 5 ~ What I Ate So I'm not that great at cooking. I'd go as far as to say I'd starve if it wasn't for hubby. But I can make some basic meals and macaroni & cheese is one of them. So for supper tonight it's Mac & Cheese.
MACARONI & CHEESE
3 cups macaroni , bread crumbs ( maybe a cup or less) , garlic powder, onion powder or flakes, 1/2 cup evaporated milk, and grated cheese ( I used 2 fistfuls).
Pour cooked macaroni into a greased dish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs add garlic & onion. Stir. Then add milk and cheese; Stir. Top with grated cheese. Baked for 15- 20 mins.
