Last year, I wrote a blog post about comfort foods. I am a big fan of stick-to-your-ribs dishes that feel like you are being hugged from the inside out. Think about the times you craved comfort foods, whether you make it yourself or if a kind soul prepares one for you.
By now, you should know that I take my food very seriously. And macaroni and cheese is no different. This is one of those dishes that I have strong feelings about. To be totally honest, I am a snob when it comes to this dish. It doesn’t help that my Aunt Marsha and Uncle Jerry make the best mac ‘n cheese on Earth. Their version set the standard for me and it’s a high bar to pass. But before we get into my favorite way to make it, let’s talk about all the different variations of this dish that are available.

Comfort Food, is defined by Wikipedia as “food that provides a nostalgic or sentimental value to someone and may be characterized by its high caloric nature, high carbohydrate level, or simple preparation.

Several years ago, one of my coworkers approached me in the office and asked me if I had heard about this new website called Pinterest. He explained it as an electronic bulletin board where you could “pin” up all kinds of things that interested you. His wife loved it and thought I might want to try it. I was skeptical, but I told him that his wife could send me an invite and I would check it out. Once I logged on, I was hooked. I was pinning things like crazy: home decor ideas, trip ideas, favorite quotes, and of course, recipes.

After months of searching, I finally found a cheesecake recipe that I had been searching for. I’m not really sure where this recipe came from. My mom said it was her recipe and my dad said it was his. I do remember that as a kid, Mommy always made it and after their divorce, Daddy would make it when we would visit him. Either way, this is my favorite cheesecake EVER.

Inspiration is defined as “the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.” So what is my inspiration? Who am I and why did I have this crazy idea to start this blog? Well, like me, the answer is convoluted and complex. Food has always been my life. I was literally immersed in the world of food from birth.
