Okay, sense it is macaroni month, I decided to try one of my most favorite Chefs mac n' cheese to see if I liked it. I must say that I did change the recipe a little by adding cream instead of just milk and by adding a few more seasonings like curry powder and a little chili powder to just spice it up a by and I also added a little Asiago cheese for more cheese flavor, sense that seemed to be the problem with the other reviewers. In the all and all, this was a great recipe, and I will be making it again.

I made this for the 'scrap booking' crowd. It was my turn to host & I am not a great cook. I followed the recipie exactly & I have to say it came out great! I didn't want an 'orange' mac & cheese which is why I picked this recipie. The other women who are all fairly good cooks also loved it. The spices really added to an otherwise plain mac & cheese. This is a keeper! Thanks. LAD
