MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Who invented Mac and Cheese?

Anyone who has toddlers knows how important Mac and Cheese is to the weekly family meal prep. Even if you’re an adult, Mac and Cheese probably plays a big part in your life. But when and where did it come from? Who thought of it?

It’s more interesting than you think. The person who introduced the delicious Macaroni and Cheese to the U.S. was nonother than our third President… Thomas Jefferson.  He actually brought the recipe back to the U.S. after being on a trip to Italy.

Great call Tommy Jefferson. My 2 year old daughter thanks you.
