Easter time every year is a time for everyone to get together and celebrate beginnings. This year (2020) was a little different for us. With COVID-19 hanging around we decided to not get together. We did have a family zoom meeting and I made all the traditional foods for my children here at my house. This is my version of Aunt Missy’s homemade mac & cheese that she makes for my daughter every year.
