Receta Fried Mac and Cheese Balls
This is a quickie post. I had some leftover mac and cheese from last night and always wanted to try it fried. All us food bloggers know how time consuming this blogging can be. Thinking of what to make, taking pictures in the process of preparing your food, wanting to make sure everything looks appetizing to whoever is looking at your food. I started this blog in October of last year. I've always loved to cook, and now being unemployed, I found the time to preserve all my recipes and share them with everyone and pursue my passion. Whenever I make anything now, I get asked, "Is this for show or can I eat it"?. How could anyone complain?
So here is the recipe for the Fried Mac and Cheese Balls. Hope you enjoy!
