creamy mac and cheese with sour cream

Since I was a kid, we always ate broccoli and cauliflower. Not exactly favorites as I remember, but if you add a little cheese sauce, wow how quickly the frown gets turned upside down. My mom taught me as a kid to make a very basic sauce, actually a roux (base of all great sauces. Butter and flour mixture) with cheese added. As our kids have gotten older, mac and cheese has become a frequent lunch time request. Its easy, and its affordable, but when its time to dump in that powder cheese Alix and I both have a hard time. So, we took my childhood cheese sauce, added noodles and got our selves mac and cheese. It does take a few minutes longer, but it keeps better, its healthier, and tastier. Don't be surprised if you find this base in many more dishes to come. I am trying it out on everything. I have found lots of tasty choices.
