In my family, no single person is responsible for all the holiday cooking, regardless of who is hosting the meal. We are a potluck family, where each family member is assigned a dish or two to bring, so we can focus on just being together. I had three separate holiday dinners to attend this Christmas, so I was sure I would be asked at least once to bring a dessert. I had been dying to try out a new pie recipe, since I rarely have a good reason to bake a full-fat, decadent pie. Much to my surprise, everyone instead requested my "Crackaroni & Cheese", so I have found myself making a ton of macaroni and cheese, and alas, no pie.
