Mac n' Cheese Mondays

I need a goal.  Something to keep me motivated.

I present to you: Mac 'n Cheese Mondays.  My quest for the perfect homemade macaroni and cheese recipe.

Don't judge.  It's cold up here. We already have several centimetres of snow on the ground and it's several degrees below zero too.  The one thing I consistently crave during the hibernation months is hot meals with cheese and carbs.

Today's competitor: Sonoma Mac and Cheese, from Williams-Sonoma.  It's got a lot of cheese in it, but the Cheddar/Gruyere/Parmesan blend is pretty mild so it doesn't go over the top.  The onion in the sauce is strong but sweet but there aren't many other competing flavours - although nutmeg is a nice touch. I hate boiling milk so that part of the recipe was frustrating and time consuming.  Final verdict: pretty good, but I'd like a sharper flavour and more kick.
