MACARONI AND CHEESE A LA CHEF SAHA

This comfort food recipe started with the love my son had for mac and cheese. We were living in Canada and that’s the food he wanted to eat every time we would go out for dinner or even when we are at home. And to be very honest I too loved the ooey gooey macaroni and cheese, but wanted to stay away from the packed food credentials. So here it is out for all the parents who want to feed their kids a perfect mac n cheese.......... It’s just so satisfying to the tummy.
