While we were moving from Phoenix, AZ to Portland, OR – I thought there should be a recipe to make REAL Mac N’ Cheese that you can make in your hotel or motel room ( granted you have a microwave). I really thought about how to utilize what you could easily get for free to help make this meal 🙂

Everyday at 5 pm PST/ 8 pm EST Budget Savvy Diva posts a NEW RECIPE 🙂
