There are not many things that can compare to chowing down on a big bowl (or an entire box) of mac and cheese.
This coveted comfort food was always one of my favorite childhood meals, and not much has changed since then.
Seriously, if someone ever tells you you're too old to eat mac and cheese, you should drop that assh*le like a rock because no one needs that kind of negativity in their life.
