Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?
My Mom used to make Mac and Cheese pie on special occasions. Mom and Dad were not too fond of pasta but they knew the kids love it.
I try to duplicate her recipe, but it does not turn out the same. It was as if she had this touch for such a simple dish. I know it is just mac and cheese, but it tasted so different from any other I have ever tried.
I remember seeing her measure out everything just right. Then she would put it all together.
Then bam!
Presto!
It would be so nice and yummy.
She continued to make it when I was an adult. I would sit and eat it thinking about those long summer days playing outside in the playground, then coming home to such a nice snack.
Mac and Cheese pie my Mom’s way, reminds me of those hot, lazy days of summer.
A time when life was so simple.
