Hello....
First of all...my sympathies regarding your precious kitty!...I have an 8 year old cat
named "Beauty" she is a 'love'...
I like your recipe for the 'Macaroni Salad'
and especially the use of a 'soup mix' for part of the seasoning...I am sure this is one of the ingredients that makes it a "5"FORK!!!!! WINNER!
Thank-you so much for sharing...
Blessings....mjcmcook....
