A Spa Birthday
We had the best time. It was a lot of work to get it all put together, and thank goodness Grandma was there to help out, both in preparing for it, and during the spa itself! She didn't know she was going to be put to work when she decided to come for Bay's party!

Mac & Cheese!!!
This is my favorite Mac & Cheese recipe, although people also rave about Pioneer Woman's recipe and I haven't tried that one (yet).
This is one is so creamy and tasty!!!
Company Mac & Cheese
From Taste of Home Annual Recipe book 2000
1 7 oz package of elbow macaroni (almost 1 cup of uncooked macaroni)
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1 package cream cheese, cubed
2 cups (8oz) shredded cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Cook macaroni according to directions on package. Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Reduce heat; add cheese, mustard, salt and pepper. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Drain macaroni; add to the cheese sauce and stir to coat. Transfer to a greased shallow 3 quart baking dish. Cook at 400 degrees uncovered 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
(the recipe calls for dried bread crumbs mixed with 2 tablespoons butter. I don't usually do that thought, because I have a hard enough time trying to get my kids to eat mac and cheese...I'm really not sure if they're my kids if they don't like mac!!!)
