[@phyllispartonmarks8912]

I can not wait to make this! I love the old timey mac & cheeses. I've never seen one with cottage cheese & so simple...Thank you so much for sharing this Linda!

[@Handsthatcook]

Hey Phyllis, To be so simple, this is a good recipe. I hope you enjoy it as well!! TFW and commenting. God Bless, Linda

[@cathycombs414]

Love all of your videos....especially when SAM gets to sample the meal...haha..he is so sweet!!!!!.....thanks so much...........may the Lord Bless you in all you do..........

[@Handsthatcook]

Thank you Cathy...everything's better when someone else is cookin' don't you think?? TFW and commenting and God Bless, Linda

[@jessicadailey6817]

love home made Mac and cheese

[@Handsthatcook]

This was good...it would have been better if I hadn't let it cool too much waiting on that cornbread, TFW and commenting. God Bless, Linda

[@cricket516]

That looks like some great Mac & Cheese. I love to hear Sam's opinion on the food and when he tells his stories and jokes. LOL on this story.

[@Handsthatcook]

Hey Cricket...the mac and cheese is good. It had cooled off too much. I should have put it back in the oven for a bit but it was still good....I was the one who asked Sam to tell that story....a friend of mine sent it to me and I loved it...glad you liked it too. TFW and commenting God Bless Cricket Linda

[@angelap9828]

Looks so good and simple to make. Thanks for sharing.

[@jessatouchoflove]

I'm going to have to try this recipe! Looks delicious! Tfs!!! 💕💕💕💕

[@Handsthatcook]

Hey Jessica, It's easy and good. You'll like it! TFW and commenting God Bless, Linda

[@vnmw121212]

I absolutely adore your videos. and I love the banter between you and your other half

[@Handsthatcook]

Thank you Victoria...we aim to please, lol!! TFW God Bless, Linda

[@RV-there-Yet]

Well now, after seeing the green bean and bacon video, and now this one, I think I'm going to have to roast the other half of a big pork loin and put it all together for this Sunday supper coming up~wonderful combination! Linda, I also always add the mustard and cayenne, along with a dash of nutmeg to any mac n' cheese recipe~it just gives the dish a bit more depth I think, don't you? thank you for sharing this super easy version and also the good clean joke Sam~that's always appreciated too=) God bless you folks! ~Samantha in AZ

[@Handsthatcook]

I agree with you RV...I almost added the nutmeg but since I had already added two ingredients that weren't in the recipe I decided against it...this was my kinda meal!! TFW and God Bless, Linda

[@juliadickson911]

Hey! I always add ground mustard, a pinch of cayenne, and sometimes a smidgen of nutmeg to my mac and cheese too, but I've never added an egg. It looks like a soufflé topping when finished! Just lovely. You have great dishes and service pieces, and I see you like green. It really is all so pretty and tasteful. 😀

[@Handsthatcook]

awww thanks Julia...green is my favorite color! How did the cake come out with the almonds on Easter??? I never heard back from you.

[@juliadickson911]

Hands That Cook I still have company. They have lumped Easter and spring break together here. The cake was delicious! I just put slivered almonds at the bottom of the Bundt pan, and I used almond extract. It was very good, but next time, I'm going to do it your way 100%. I'm taking credit for making it. I didn't. My niece Katherine made it. Together we made pecan pie, though. Both desserts were eaten in two days over the Easter weekend. Now, it's all health and diet food for the rest of the week and my brother's family visit. The kids are complaining like you wouldn't believe. You know how it's the stereotype that Italian mothers and grandmothers want to stuff you with food? In the cosmopolitan area that my parents come from on Spain, it is the opposite "don't eat anymore! You'll get fat!" lol. The stereotype of Fernando Lamas saying "its better to look good than feel good, darling!" is so so true.

[@NanaPapa123]

Love you guys, always a pleasure to spend a little time with you all. You are the best! Thank you and God bless and keep you.

[@Handsthatcook]

Nana, thank you so much. It's good to know when someone enjoys watching the videos as well as taking time out of YOUR day to watch. TFW and commenting God Bless you too! Linda

[@ellendelights]

[@help1255]

[@SpainonaFork]

The old American classic Linda! im sure that small amount of cayenne added a load of flavor

[@bamamubs4723]

love it Linda!

[@Handsthatcook]

Thank you bamamubs!! Would you be an Alabama fan???? lol TFW and commenting God Bless, Linda

[@GoranMak]

Linda, not only does that look so warming and yummy - but I really DO enjoy watching your videos! Tonight especially! You see - you always say "pull up a chair" and tonight I really felt as if I did. I had a HORRIBLE day and you and Sam helped me feel warm, and smile. I wished I could have been in there with y'all eating that comfort food! Cos that is what I needed tonight. COMFORTING. And thank you for giving it to me. God bless you both. PS - Sam - that was a great joke! LOL

[@Handsthatcook]

So sorry about your day being so horrible. The good thing is there's always a tomorrow to compensate, right?? I'm so glad I helped in some way. You made me smile!!!

[@GoranMak]

Thanks Linda. Today was a good day. Sunny, warm, I got a lot accomplished! THANK YOU! xo You make me smile too!

[@shellygbean7453]

Loved it! Sam needs to end in a joke or funny more often!!!

[@Handsthatcook]

Sam only tells a joke when he's in the mood...I can't talk him into it otherwise but I'll tell him what you said. God Bless, Linda

[@kathyjotourtois]

i agree !!!

[@Handsthatcook]

LOL!!

[@bonnieglass9331]

I enjoy your videos. I'm looking for a recipe for ham salad to use up a Easter ham. I'm a Bama girl too!

[@Handsthatcook]

Ham salad is so easy! Dice or shred the ham. Add chopped celery, sweet pickle relish, a little onion and some mayo. So good as a sandwich!! Roll Tide!!!

[@kathyjotourtois]

yum ur mac n cheese looks so good . i think i will try it . finally sam told a joke , yay . you 2 have a great sunday and week ahead . hugs from michigan !!!

[@Handsthatcook]

Simple yet good! I think you'll enjoy this recipe Kathy Jo! TFW and commenting. Have a nice relaxing Sunday and God Bless, Linda

[@Palladio-gu3dj]

I'm with you. I always add cayenne and dry mustard to mac and cheese. Those spices ready brighten up cheese sauces. Thanks for this yummy recipe.

[@Handsthatcook]

You're welcome Palladio. I hope you enjoy it. TFW and commenting God Bless Linda

[@Handsthatcook]

Yes, they do brighten the flavor...I don't like mac and cheese that's tasteless or any other dish for that matter!!

[@Sooz-gh7fb]

Linda.....Macaroni Cheese is one of my all time favourite dishes... I've never tried it this way, so thank you for sharing - I'll have to give this one a try. Glad to hear a bit more of Sam in the background...You're a great 'double act' - that's meant in the nicest possible way.x

[@Handsthatcook]

You'll enjoy this simple version. I didn't start out trying to be a double act...it just ended up that way...and I appreciate the compliment!! God Bless, Linda

[@Sooz-gh7fb]

I can't wait to try it. We're almost ready to buy our new oven. I'm looking forward to trying your recipes once it's installed. Double acts are the best ones where they just happen naturally... Take care and have a great day.x

[@sharonlatour6230]

Linda, that mac and cheese looks very good! Sam, I loved your cute joke!

[@Handsthatcook]

Thanks Sharon...hope you try it. It's simple and good. TFW and commenting God Bless, Linda

[@AllanKentFisher]

It looks scrumptious Linda. That book has provided you with a lot of inspiration. I hope you have a lovely weekend. Same to Sam (your resident stand up 😂). Love & best wishes, Allan ❤

[@Handsthatcook]

I love old recipes. I have a LOT of cookbooks. This one has my attention at this time but I have many others to choose from. I won't run out of recipes anytime soon, lol! You have a lovely 2 weeks off!! Love and friendship, Linda

[@glendacrosbywilkins4246]

[@leearthur2947]

Linda if i lived where i could eat your food it would not be a good thing for me there is no telling how much i would weight because it all looks just great...

[@Handsthatcook]

Thank you Lee for such a nice compliment and tfw and commenting. God Bless Linda

[@RobinMarconeCassidyRN]

Hi Linda! Just wanted to thank you for this delicious old Mac and cheese recipe. I made it yesterday along with roasted pork tenderloin, a Cesar salad and homemade biscuits. Thank you again Linda. Hugs from CT.

[@Handsthatcook]

Robin I'm glad you and your family enjoyed this old recipe. TFW my channel and God Bless! Linda

[@KikiH2013]

I made this last night, delish! It was perfect on a cold night. I’ll definitely make this again.

[@Handsthatcook]

I'm so glad you and your family enjoyed it! TFW God Bless, Linda

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

Thanks Linda! And God bless you guys right back!

[@Handsthatcook]

I appreciate it Ted!!

[@headchefmomkendalllawrence693]

This is an awesome recipe! I love the ingredients!

[@Handsthatcook]

Thank you Headchefmom. I hope you try it!! TFW and commenting, God Bless, Linda

[@essemsween818]

Sam 👏👏👏 Made ME laugh. I'd avoid a recipe that called for cottage cheese and sour cream because of the 'sour' factor and yet it looked very good and the just 1 egg was plenty to set it up lovely. I always put mustard in a cheese sauce too Linda, Dijon's very good as well as Coleman's but I'll try your Cayenne too next time I make Cauliflower Cheese.

[@Handsthatcook]

Essem, this recipe is very good....not sour as you might think. I was trying to follow the recipe as closely as possible and had already added cayenne pepper and the dry mustard. I've used other recipes that I added mustard to so I didn't want to stray much further otherwise it would not have been the same recipe. I also have a cauliflower cheese recipe on my channel...it's excellent!!

[@donnasmith5697]

Going to try this for dinner tonight, Thanks for sharing!

[@Handsthatcook]

Hey Donna, we liked this mac and cheese and I hope all of you do too! TFW God Bless, Linda

[@acalways8958]

Miss Linda hello again. I love this recipe. I made it tonight and I think I will make mac and cheese this way more often. I was also able to find the Junior League cookbook on Amazon. It has wonderful old recipes. Thanks again for sharing.

[@Handsthatcook]

Ardra, I never would have thought this book would be on Amazon after all these years. So glad you took the trouble to look for it. TFW and commenting. God Bless, Linda

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi again Ardra, I checked all the Jr. League cookbooks on Amazon and found 2 named "When The Dinner Bell Rings". The name of my cookbook is "When Dinner Bells Ring"....I'm sorry to say you don't have the same book but at least you have one with some older recipes!!!

[@acalways8958]

Actually it was the only one on there with the same title as yours. It came from Talladega Jr. League. It has a country house on the cover with a dinner bell on a pole in front of the house. The cover art is by Sarah Whitson. I found this recipe on page 58. I wish i could send you a pic. LOL! I saw it was the only one and i jumped on it.

[@acalways8958]

Thank you so much and God bless you as well

[@Handsthatcook]

Ardra....that IS the right book!! I would have never thought it would be sold on Amazon!! Well, that's wonderful you found it. I asked Sams' sister about the book. She said it was for sale all over Talladega....and I was surprised at that being it was originally published in 1978. If you don't live in Talladega, I wouldn't know how to tell you to find it except through the Jr. League. Congratulations!!

[@maryrigby5362]

yummmm good morning Linda and Sam

[@Handsthatcook]

Mornin' Mary...want some mac and cheese for breakfast??? TFW God Bless, Linda

[@maryrigby5362]

lol yumm u bet

[@deborahdaniels9163]

Linda , l fixed the macaroni and cheese and my family simply loved it 😃

[@christinawhite9256]

This is a very enjoyable video! Would you please let me know if you have a recipe for old fashion fudge, and the kind I am looking for is the one that kind of crumbles instead of the creamy kind. I had a recipe for it, but it seems to have disappeared somehow. Thank you for the video!!!

[@Handsthatcook]

Christina, I know exactly the type of fudge you're talking about. I'll have to look for the recipe myself. TFW and commenting. God Bless, Linda

[@pamelabrida945]

My mouth is watering watching this video! Your mac and cheese looks marvelous! Easy to make too!

[@Handsthatcook]

Thank you Pamela, the next time I make this I'm going to add some Parmesan cheese. TFW and commenting. God Bless, Linda

[@pamelabrida945]

It really seems like I was mean't to watch your video today. I was trying to figure out a way to use up some leftovers and I had just enough cottage cheese, sour cream, and grated cheddar/Monterrey Jack cheese to make this recipe which is now in the oven! Thanks again for posting this! God Bless You Too!

[@Handsthatcook]

You're welcome. Enjoy!!! (thanks for the blessing!)

[@acalways8958]

Thanks for the lovely dish. Could you give the name of the cookbook the recipe came from again?

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Ardra, the name of the cookbook is "When Dinner Bells Ring" and it was published in 1978. You could try and contact the Jr. league in Talladega, Al. who put the book together. I'm sorry I don't have a phone number for them but you might look it up online or call the information operator. TFW God Bless, Linda

[@acalways8958]

Thanks Ms. Linda. I'm right down the road from. there in Birmingham. I love old cookbooks and recipes. I'll be sure and look it up. Thanks again.

[@Handsthatcook]

Ardra, I'm sure they'll mail it to you.

[@VictoriaMJones]

I have that same green bowl!

[@Sooz-gh7fb]

I'm so tempted to try this. Missing your videos - hope you're feeling better Linda? Sooz x

[@Handsthatcook]

I hope you do try it...it's easy and good. I'll be back soon...thank you for missing me! God Bless, Linda

[@madebyaprilanne]

[@debbiealtman4572]
