Nothing says holidays like comfort food. Michael’s on East shares this signature recipe, a twist on the classic macaroni, to offer up a dish you can put out at your family feast this year. And since this meal was on the table at SRQ Media Group’s holiday party this year, we can vouch that it’s a crowd-pleaser.
