This Thursday I am hosting a wellness class with some of my friends. Who doesn’t like getting together with friends and eating great food. My sister-in-law Aka Great taste buds had this recipe at a family party and I loved it. So easy… and I’m all about keeping things simple. Home made Mac-N-Chesse with home-brew root beer sounds good to me. Pop a movie in for the kiddo’s and let the fun begin ……
