– Janice Rogers, WBRC Fox 6 News Anchor and our March issue cover story, shares this family favorite with us. Her sister in law Sharon Woodall often made it for the family. After she died five years ago, Janice took over making the dish in her honor. “Anytime there’s a gathering, I make it. The recipe follows Trisha Yearwood’s Mac & Cheese recipe but Sharon made it for years and years before Trisha did.” Read Rogers’ journey through grief and hope here.
