From My Grandma’s Skillet: Mac & Cheese Memories
Every time I make mac & cheese in my old cast iron skillet, I’m transported back to my grandma’s tiny kitchen. She never used fancy ingredients—just elbow pasta, sharp cheddar, and a splash of milk. But the magic was in the way she’d let me stir the bubbling cheese sauce, warning me not to let it burn.
Now, thousands of miles from home, I recreate her recipe on rainy nights. The sizzle as the cheese hits the hot pan, the golden crust forming on top—it’s comfort in every bite. Sometimes I add a twist: a sprinkle of smoked paprika, or a handful of crispy onions. But the heart of the dish remains the same: simple, soulful, and shared with people I love.
Food isn’t just about taste; it’s about memories, family, and the warmth that lingers long after the last bite. What’s your comfort food story?
