We were not really a Mac & Cheese family -- in general, most homemade mac & cheese has been sadly lacking for me, a pasty mess and not much cheese. But I still groove on artificially orange Kraft. My secret is if I have some cream cheese left over in the fridge, I'll throw some of that into the Kraft. And peas... I like frozen (yeah, I cook them in the boiling water) green peas in my mac.
I have started getting mac & cheese as sides at BBQ restaurants but am more often going to go for cornbread and coleslaw as sides.
