Now and then, I revisit Macaroni & Cheese. I’ve been cooking since my teens (and before), so that’s a lot of recipes. See, I’m always seduced by gorgeous photos (and sometimes celebrity chefs), and always tempted to try some new twist, but I think it’s a grass is always greener kind of thing. With this recipe, I’ve come full circle, back to basics with my classic recipe: the Ultimate Macaroni & Cheese with Herbed Bread Crumbs.

I love love love the idea of sneaking in veggies wherever possible and try to take advantage of that strategy when I can, so how could I resist?
