Preacher’s Wife Mac & Cheese
September 20, 2024
This is dedicated to my dear friend Shannon who recently passed away. She sat behind me in homeroom in high school. Both our names started with an Mc. She lit up any room that she walked into with her smile and wild enthusiasm for just about anything. She planned her celebration of life down to the very last detail (and yes, a conga line and bright colorful attire were mentioned), including her famous recipe for this Preacher’s Wife Mac & Cheese, which I of course, immediately volunteered to make. All I can say is that it’s rather lactose-laden with pounds of upmarket cheeses! She made this for many of her friends over the years on special occasions. Tears are not written in the recipe, but truth be told there were a few shed during the making of this. I am not sure how life with be without you in it, but I promise to smile and champagne toast you the next time I make it. I love you Shannon.
