"People who complain about Sandra Lee or her recipes don't understand the concept of her show. That's fine, just change the channel for 30 minutes. This recipe works.

Just because macaroni isn't made from scratch doesn't mean it isn't good. How many very successful Italian restaurants don't make pasta daily for their patrons...Seriously.
