The BEST Homemade Baked Mac and Cheese

The BEST Homemade Mac and Cheese of your LIFE. Outrageously cheesy, ultra creamy, and topped with a crunchy Panko-Parmesan topping, this mac and cheese recipe is most definitely a keeper. I used three different cheese and a homemade cheese sauce to take this macaroni and cheese recipe over the top.

Cinnamon Baked French Toast

Ingredients

• 1 loaf stale bread (I used challah)

• 3/4 cups sugar
• 2 tablespoons vanilla

• 1 stick cold butter, cubed

Directions

1. Grease a 9 x 13 inch pan.
2. Tear the bread into chunks and place them in the greased pan.
3. Mix together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
4. In another bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the butter and mix until the batter comes somewhat together, like little pebbles. Store in a plastic bag in the fridge.
5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
6. Take your pan with the soaking bread inside and sprinkle crumb mixture on top.

How to Freeze Homemade Waffles

If you want to double or triple the batter to make the Waffles of Insane Greatness, they are easy to freeze. After the waffles are cooked, set them on a cooling rack (not directly on a plate) to cool completely. Once cooled completely, lay the waffles on a baking sheet and place them in the freezer to freeze (about 2 hours). After the waffles have frozen, store them in freezer-safe containers, separated by parchment paper, for up to three months.  When ready to enjoy the frozen waffles, pop them in a toaster oven to warm them up. You can also bake them in the oven for about 5 minutes at 425°F. Baking times may need to be adjusted depending on the thickness of your waffles.
