On this episode of The Recipe Box, we’re talking with local Spice Lady and owner of The JAY Effect, Yemisi Anderson, about mac and cheese.

We dig into recipes from boxed and stovetop versions to indulgent baked dishes while exploring cheeses, techniques, seasoning blends, and creative add-ins that elevate this Midwest favorite.

Alongside practical tips like shredding your own cheese and using cream cheese for extra creaminess, our conversation highlights how mac and cheese evokes family memories and brings people together at the table.
