It was interpreted as pro-life. It was equally interpreted as pro-choice. Some argue that it glamorized teenage pregnancy while others contend it simply humanized those who go through that ordeal. One thing that critics did seem to agree on about the 2007 film Juno is that it was definitely one funny movie. With her razor-sharp wit and near-perfect delivery, Juno MacGuff gave us some great one-liners. One of them in particular became the inspiration for the my next dish.

When expressing her love for her boyfriend, Paulie Bleeker, Juno made an analogy that is both offbeat and surprisingly sweet. She professes,"As far as boyfriends go, Paulie Bleeker is totally boss. He is the cheese to my macaroni." Eating plain macaroni can be good maybe if you were rescued from being stranded in a forest for weeks and that was the first meal that your rescuers offered you. It is  the cheese that really makes macaroni complete and delicious.

I got the recipe at http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Four-Cheese-Macaroni/Detail.aspx. Although the recipe came highly reviewed, a lot of people made suggestions and/or alterations to the recipe. I stuck with the original recipe and it turned out well.

This recipe was great because it was really heavy on the cheese. Seriously, it called for like five different varieties. But, like my wise roommate pointed out, no one has ever complained about their macaroni and cheese being too cheesy. So, we grated the plethora of cheeses.

The recipe also called for some "cubed processed cheese food." I later learned that this is just the code name for Velveeta. It is like saying "bite-sized round chocolate pieces" for M & M's.

After baking for about 35 minutes, no square inch was left not buried by bubbling cheese goodness.

Mmmmm, nothing says I love you more than a nice ultra-cheese saturated plate of mac and cheese.
