Three-Cheese Macaroni and Cheese There's something special about waking up before your household, making yourself a nice, cold coffee that provides energy needed to start your day. Since I started homeschooling my son last week, I have made an effort to wake up at least 30 minutes before the household. It actually feels good to have some alone time and check some items off the list.  Although today is Sunday, I decided to continue my tradition - this time giving you a blog based around the dinner we made last night.  Jace (my son) requested a homemade macaroni and cheese dinner and since our oven is out-of-commission, we resorted to an air fried version.  Jace shared some words to describe this meal and we came up with cheesy, crispy, browned, creamy, soft on the inside, crispy on top, and delicious enough for seconds. He is taking cooking and has helped a lot with making dinner, learning about techniques, and being hands-on. He loves it. • Difficulty Level:  Interme...
