Weekend Projects®
This is where things get fun. These are recipes that take a day or two to make, whether because of resting or marinating requirements, a few more steps, or just plain ole extra time because, well, they just taste better that way. These are great recipes to make with the family and to introduce kids into the kitchen.
Smoked Mac and Cheese
Not only is this some of the cheesiest mac and cheese we’ve ever had, it’s also made on the grill so it’s perfect for the heat.

Sweet. Sour. Sticky. It’s a trifecta of sorts that will not fail you, especially when slathered on ribs grilled low and slow. Uh, pass the napkins, please.
