Baked Mac & Cheese Muffins

Snow Day!!! or rather freezing rain. Got to leave work early! My blog readers are getting spoiled!

I was hungry so I scoured my pantry and decided to make some
mac and cheese...muffins!

1 pkg prepared mac and cheese

1 egg, beaten

1 C Italian cheeses, shredded

1 C cheeze-it crackers, crushed

Smoked paprika

Truffle oil (optional)

Muffin pan for 12

Prepare mac and cheese, mix in 1 beaten egg. Spray muffin pan with non-stick spray. Place 2 heaping Tbsp of mac and cheese into each muffin tin. Top with cheeses, crackers, paprika and oil. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before removing from tins.
Verdict, pretty good. They don't come out of the muffin pan perfectly but maybe next time I will use paper liners. These would be so cute for a party!

Oh yeah those are halloween shaped mac and cheese. Hey they were on clearance and I had a coupon lol!

Peach on Earth

We had our Office Christmas Party the other day and decided on a three ingredient no-fail recipe! It always delivers and rarely leaves leftovers. Peach-BBQ Lil' Smokies 2-14 oz package of Lil' Smokies cocktail sausages 1-16 oz jar of Peach Preserves 1-16 oz bottle of BBQ sauce Put all ingredients into a crockpot, stir and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours. Serves 12-15, I would double for larger crowds.

Whip it Whip it good

Coconut whipped cream It's so good, it only requires 3 ingredients, it's vegan and has none of that artificial garbage. Yes, the can is upside down and yes it is necessary. It probably wasn't necessary to take a picture of it upside down, but it's funny so there! 1 can of full fat coconut milk, chill in fridge overnight 2 tsp sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla Put your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 5 minutes. Open coconut milk upside down, pour out the liquid and save for another use. Scoop out the cream and add to chilled bowl. Whip with electric mixers or a Kitchenaid mixer with paddle attachment. Add sugar and vanilla. Continue to whip until light and fluffy. Use this like cool whip, I even used it to make a layered oreo dessert it was delish!
