Again I have to exclaim about my favorite cooking magazine, Taste of Home. My nephew gives me a subscription every year for Christmas and I have to admit I really look forward to it, but sometimes it does present a problem, what to do with all the old issues? I don't have the heart to throw them out, so I keep them the ones I loved the most and donate the rest to the local thrift store, but on the positive side, I always have a wonderful selection of recipes very close by to choose from. Enjoy the Mac and cheese. It only cost .92 cents per serving!
