Smiley Face Chocolate Chip Muffins


It will put a smile on their faces when
they open their lunch box to find these 
cutie pies...
and I just don`t mean your kids, 
I`d love to find this in my lunch box!


These muffins were made from a pre-made mix
and I`m okay with that.
I`m a busy working Mom
and not everything can come from scratch.


I did add extra chocolate chips though.


Are you okay with baking/cooking from a 
pre-made mix?
My family doesn't mind at all and let's face it
we are so busy - work, school, lunches to 
prepare, houses to clean, grocery's to get, 
banking to take care of...
the list goes on & on.


Mmmmm...I think I'll have one right now!

Scrumptious Homemade Mac & Cheese

Comfort food in July?
Why, yes!

It's a hit with the kids and just simply
a great meal. We love it in our house.
And the best part is it's so easy to make.

And your house smells oh so good when it's baking,
makes you want to curl up on the couch and read a great book.
It's a rainy day here in Torbay today, so I may do just that!















Ingredients
·         8 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni
·         2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
·         1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
·         3 cups milk
·         1/4 cup butter
·         2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
·         2 tablespoons butter
·         1/2 cup bread crumbs
·         1 pinch paprika
          
Directions
1.     Cook macaroni according to the package directions. Drain.
2.     In a saucepan, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Stir in enough flour to make a roux. Add milk to roux slowly, stirring constantly. Stir in cheeses, and cook over low heat until cheese is melted and the sauce is a little thick. Put macaroni in large casserole dish, and pour sauce over macaroni. Stir well.
3.     Melt butter or margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and brown. Spread over the macaroni and cheese to cover. Sprinkle with a little paprika.
4.     Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Serve.

This recipe is from Allrecipes.com
you can find it here.

I did make a couple of changes.
Although I do use breadcrumbs this time I substituted with
Toppables crackers.
I omitted the paprika but added fresh pepper instead.

Lemon Partridgeberry Muffins...or Cranberry...or Blueberry



Partridgeberries...

perhaps some of you have never heard of them. 
They grow in the wild here in

Newfoundland & Labrador. 

They are most commonly used here 
to make jams,sauces and baked goods.

The fruit is sour but so good!

Partridgeberries have numerous other names like
lingonberry, cowberry, foxberry, quailberry,
beaverberry, mountain cranberry, lowbush cranberry,
and a few others.

The berries freeze well and last a couple of years in the freezer.

We love them!












Have an awesome weekend everyone!
