Since there is no cooking by moms today, I have some easy recipes for children and dads.

Cheesy Mac and Franks

6 oz. dry elbow macaroni

4 frankfurters, cut in 1/2-inch pieces

3/4 lb. Velveeta, cubed

2/3 c. milk

2 tsp. prepared mustard

Cook macaroni according to directions on package. When almost tender, add franks and cook until they are plump and macaroni is done; drain well. Meanwhile, in saucepan, put Velveeta, milk, pepper and mustard. Cook, over low heat until cheese melt. Stir in cooked macaroni and franks; heat through, stirring occasionally.
