For the nights when you want to make something for both you and the kids. Classic macaroni and cheese that you can serve plain and classic with cheddar or with a few easy mix-ins for a gourmet bowl of spinach and feta mac.

This is a fabulous potato soup recipe. I have been making this for years. It is an recipe from a restaurant called The Machine Shed. I am always asked to make it by my family as well as for big gatherings. We also have it on Halloween every year before the kids go Trick-O-Treating. Our local store makes individual bread bowls that are orange and look like pumpkins. They love the soup in these festive bread bowls. It is a bit of a time consuming recipe to make, but well worth it once in awhile.
