This is my Mom's version of Macaroni and Cheese. I have never found a recipe quite like it. Instead of macaroni, it is made with thin spaghetti. There is no sauce to make. The ingredients are just layered into a casserole and some warm milk is added. The Spaghetti and Cheese comes out of the oven looking like a puffed souffle. This is one of the first recipe I posted on this blog.
Do you ever have those days, weeks, years, when you feel like a punching bag? When the saying, "God doesn't give us anything we can't handle" and you say, "God, I think you have me confused with someone else." That is how I have felt lately. I need my Mommy.
I am old enough to have a Grandson who is getting married, and my Mom left this life over twenty years ago, but I need a hug. I still miss both my Mom and Dad. To be hugged, have my hair stroked, and be told it will all be alright was such a comfort growing up. No matter what happened to me, I knew they loved me.
Now I use their recipes to celebrate their lives and to remember what fantastic, loving, generous people they were, and even with their own problems to deal with, what wonderful parents they were. I hope you enjoy my Mom's unique Spaghetti and Cheese. Just thinking about it gives me a hug.
