I got this recipe years ago and it's the best macaroni and cheese ever. I can't remember where I found it or who gave it to me but one of my Instagram followers messaged me, (which I appreciate) and said this looked very similar to Giada De Laurentis' Mac and Cheese recipe. I'm not sure of the origin of it but after reading mine and hers, they are almost the same so I'm crediting Giada for this wonderful take on Mac and Cheese! It's been a family favorite ever since I made this for them the first time! This yummy macaroni and cheese recipe is comfort food at its finest and can be your main dish or a side dish. This is my go to recipe when I've cooked a ham and have some leftovers! Ham is optional, but I've always made it with the ham. This is not your traditional macaroni and cheese recipe because it actually doesn't have macaroni or cheddar cheese in it! I use egg noodles and a delicious mix of fontina, parmesan, and mozzarella cheeses. I guess it should be called a different

Chicken and Noodles over Mashed Potatoes

This homemade chicken and noodles recipe served over mashed potatoes is a cherished family recipe. I know you're wondering how can you have double starches? Potatoes and noodles? Trust me, this is a delicious combination! Anyone who has ever had this meal loves it. We would have this often when I was growing up and this was one of the first recipes I learned to make when I was young.

I made them this recipe and they loved it. Especially my husband! After he had eaten two giant helpings, he decided he liked me a lot more. I jokingly tell everyone that I didn't have him at hello, I had him at homemade chicken and noodles over
