What type of cheese do you use in your homemade mac and cheese recipe?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 4 May 09

I am thinking about making my own homemade mac and cheese. But of course, I don't have a recipe. I've thought about using American cheese, but that's so bland tasting. Can any type of cheese be used in homemade mac and cheese...

Am I the only person who hasn't read the Stephenie Meyer series?

LaurenInLA @LaurenInLA (2270) • United States 20 Nov 08

I know how wildly popular the series is but books about vampires just don't seem to do it for me. If you've read the books, what do you find so appealing about the books?

slcharger I never liked Vampire books or romance books. My sister-in-law insisted I read Twilight so I humored her. I fell in love. The thing I like about the book is the characters are so well formed and the writing is so well done that it sucks you into the story. You...
