My hubby loved the homemade mac and cheese!!! Yay!! He was raised on the box stuff so homemade things are usually not his thing. He said he really liked it!! Of course the children loved almost everything! The boys cleaned the bowl of homemade cranberry sauce..so no leftovers of that! The hardest part was timing everything to get done together..I should have made the mashed potatoes in two pots so it wouldn't take so long!
