Mac n Cheese wit cut up hot dogs

The week gone by was one of the most hectic weeks for us in recent times. Needless to say that when Friday arrived, both my husband and I were breathing a sigh of relief so to say! But to add to this, I was pleasantly surprised to return home on Friday and find him busy in the kitchen making one of his favorite dishes. He is very comfortable around the kitchen and he enjoys cooking occasionally, unlike many Indian men. 

So Mac and Cheese takes about half hour to bring together and can be a great comfort food for a Friday night.
