Welcome back, readers! Who's hungry? We always are, especially after a great book.

1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
4 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
4 oz colby cheese, shredded
4 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup panko
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan reggiano
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven to 400F.
2. Cook the macaroni and drain, set aside.
3. Melt butter in a large pot over medium low heat.
4. Whisk flour into the butter.
5. Stir until the mix smells a little nutty.
6. Stir in milk, paprika, mustard, garlic, powder, and salt. Whisk well to combine.
7. When milk mixture is hot but not boiling, add shredded and cream cheese. Stir to melt.
8. Pour macaroni and cheese blend into pan and sprinkle parmesan cheese and panko over the top.
8. Bake 20 to 30 minutes, until the top is golden and sides are bubbly.
