Yummy Yummy is a perfect title for this! I made this exactly as written (but doubled it) and it is FABULOUS! The shells hold that yummy cheese sauce better than elbows. The sauce is really cheesey and creamy and just the right amount and consistancy (I used fat free half and half). It doesn't dry out after baking. This will be one of our favorites and will get made many times. Thanx for sharing!

Hi! I am Tami and a SAHM of 4 children, ranging in age 18 to 4. So I have ALOT of different likes and dislikes when cooking! I like to try new things and give it my own personal twist! The only pet peeve I seem to have is people who stop right in front of you in the grocery aisle for NO reason whatsoever!! They seem to be the same people I get behind while driving also!!!
