No Bake Mac n Cheese with Broccoli

The Lady continues to sneak veggies into dishes but when the dish is mac n cheese and the veggie is broccoli… well… sneaking is no easy thing…

The lady leaves tomorrow but this week The Man and I have been treated to home cooked meal, each a little better than the one before. One of those dishes was a luscious mac n cheese with broccoli added…
