Amazing and Easy Mac and Cheese

2 cups elbow macaroni
1/3 block of Velveeta cheese (about 12oz)
1/3 cup milk
1/2 tbs Greek Seasoning

Cook elbow macaroni in saucepan, do not overcook

cube Velveeta cheese add it along with milk and Greek Seasoning to drained noodles, stirring constantly on low heat until melted

makes 4, 1 cup servings

The Greek Seasoning gives this a little extra flavor and the Velveeta makes it super creamy and cheesy.  Everyone from my 4 year old to my 10 year old loves this!

Hello and Welcome!

     Not too long ago I hated cooking.  I would rather go hungry than have to cook a meal.  Sounds dramatic, I know, but then I've always been the dramatic sort.  I used to date guys based on their ability to cook.  Also, I was never really good at it.

     The first time I tried making lasagna I forgot to cook the noodles beforehand and the whole thing was terrible.  Really, I could barely boil water, I have no idea what I was doing trying to cook lasagna.

     Recently I had surgery.  March 28th, 2011 actually.  After the first week and a half of trying to pretend I wasn't in pain and laying on the couch so not to cause more pain, I started to feel better.  Then I started to get bored.  After all, there's only so much you can buy on the internet before you run out of money.

     So I started to cook.  And let me tell you, I found pleasure in something I had never enjoyed before.  And I was good at it.  Really good.

      Every recipe I post on here I found somewhere else, it might be a website, another blog, or a cookbook.  I make it Mine by taking out and/or adding ingredients.  I make it better.

     I hope everyone who comes here finds something that they love out of what I'll be posting!
