Tasty Tuesday

Fruit Dip
One jar of Marshmallow cream
One block of Cream Cheese
(room temperature)
Using the mixer cream the cream cheese and then add the marshmallow cream. Mix well and then refrigerate. Serve with fruit and or vanilla wafers.
Now some people might add flavorings or zest. I only use the two things and it's always great!
Macoroni and Cheese

Macaroni and Cheese
2 cups dry elbow macaroni cooked and drained
1/4 cups butter (half stick)
1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
pepper to taste
1 egg slightly beaten
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup cheese for top
Melt butter over low heat; add flour and stir until smooth. Cook one minute continually stirring. Slowly add milk and keep stirring. Cook over medium heat and now add salt and pepper and cheese until good and creamy. Once cheese is melted add egg as you continue to stir. Pour over macaroni and add a little more cheese if you want. Pour into 9x13 pan and sprinkle with additional cheese. Cover with foil and bake 30-40 minutes at 350*. Uncover last 5 minutes.

Not sure where I got this recipe from but it's the best!! No fail mac and cheese! Anyone can make it if they just follow the recipe.

I want your mac-n-cheese for breakfast and the fruit dip for lunch. That fruit dip had me drooling as does your mac-n-cheese.

Do you know that I never had macaroni and cheese baked in the oven, until I was out of college, at a friend's house?

My mom never, ever made it that way.

I'm excited about the mac and cheese, but not near as excited as Natey-poo will be. He has an addiction and I can't seem to break him of mac n' cheese.

I want your mac and cheese but sadly, I can only look on in envy. Mac and cheese was the meal that nearly sent me to the hospital with gallstones... If I endeavour to eat it again, it might finish me off for good...

But it looks so GOOOOOD!
