COUNTDOWN TO THANKSGIVING DINNER | DAY 9 OF 26

🧀 November 9: Southern Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Golden, gooey, and bubbling at the edges — macaroni and cheese is the dish that makes everyone pause mid-conversation and say, “Oh, that looks good.” It’s comfort in a casserole dish, the Southern way: bold, rich, and unapologetically cheesy.

Fun Fact: Thomas Jefferson is often credited with popularizing mac and cheese in America after discovering it in Paris. He even served it at a state dinner in 1802 — so you could say this dish has been presidential from the start!

Tradition Spotlight: For many families, mac and cheese is a non-negotiable at Thanksgiving — especially in the South. It’s the dish that bridges generations, passed down through handwritten recipes and “a little extra cheese for good luck.”

📖 “The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of His bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands.” — Deuteronomy 28:12
