The Holidays are right around the corner, which means afternoons and evenings spent with friends and family. What else is there to do when it is cold besides eat? I want to share a fun, easy, and delicious way to enjoy time with friends and family and less time in the kitchen. This Macaroni and Cheese Bar is perfect for entertaining this holiday season.

Serve whatever toppings you think would be good on top of macaroni and cheese. The toppings I chose were bacon, broccoli, cheese, fried onions, hot sauce, ranch, bbq chicken, chili, sour cream and crackers. Then everyone gets to pick and choose what to put on top of their macaroni and cheese.

My creation on the left was the macaroni and cheese, bacon, ranch, extra cheese and the fried onions. Kenny put just about everything on his. We really enjoyed the creaminess of the macaroni and cheese. Other good combinations were broccoli with the bbq chicken. Tate said the chili with macaroni and cheese was good. I was too stuffed to try it, but I will be tomorrow with the leftovers.

 

The STOUFFER’S® Party Size Macaroni & Cheese is crafted with freshly made pasta and real aged cheddar cheese. It’s a creamy, delicious reason to gather around the table.

 

I made these cute food table tents to use  this Thanksgiving.

For dessert we had the Drumstick Peppermint Variety pack. The kids had the Chocolate Peppermint, and the adults picked from the Peppermint Fudge and the Original Peppermint. So simple, but delicious. I have heard they have a new Butterfinger Drumstick, but I haven’t seen them in my Walmart yet. You can bet I will be checking every time I go to the store though. I love Butterfingers!

We had such a great time spending more time hanging out with our friends and less time in the kitchen.

I found both of these products right in the freezer section of Walmart. So easy to grab and go to prepare for those last minute guests.

It was an adventure to get there but we finally di It was an adventure to get there but we finally did. The place we normally park was closed for repaving so we went on the hunt for a new place. It was a nice secluded spot that we might just make our new spot. The kids had a blast, I am glad it stays shallow here plus we didn’t have to worry about waves.

Project 365 photo catch up. Can’t believe it is Project 365 photo catch up. Can’t believe it is almost the end of May! Had my hair trimmed yesterday, and my eyebrows tinted. The eyebrow dye last for about 4-6 weeks. It gradually lightens up over time. I included the photo of Annie after she did her “makeup”. This project 365 isn’t looking like I thought it would. I was hoping to use my DSLR more but end up just using my phone and using random photos I take during the day. Nothing specific or set up pretty, but it works. I’m still capturing memories.

Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point and the water was too cold for me to get in but just kept dipping my feet in the water to cool down. Unfortunately I got a terrible headache in the afternoon so had to cut the trip a little short. Next time I need to remember to bring medicine. Not sure what’s been going on lately but the last few days I have gotten headaches in the afternoon.
