A Simple Decorative Piece

Thanks to pinterest.com, I've been trying out tons of little fixes around the home. Most recently I’ve repurposed an old candle jar and turned it into my new q-tip holder!



The directions I followed can be found on this website and they are summarized below as well.

 Freeze jar overnight to loosen candle remnants

 Use a butter knife to break up remaining candle pieces

Peel off label and wash jar

Ta-da!  The finished product!!

Homemade Macaroni and Cheese

 

Last week one of my colleagues informed us that during the heat wave he would be bringing in homemade ice-cream cake for the team.  I was ecstatic and immediately decided that we need to have a meal to go with it!  I decided to opt for Macaroni and Cheese – an easy comfort food!  I am pleased to report that the mac and cheese (and yummy ice-cream cake) was a big hit!

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup butter or margarine
• ¼ cup flower
• 1 cup milk
• 8 oz Velvetta pasteurized prepared cheese product – cut into ½ inch cubes
• 2 cups elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Bread crumbs or crushed ritz crackers

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Melt 3 Tbsp butter in medium saucepan on medium heat. Whisk in flour, cook for 2 minutes stirring constantly. Gradually stir in milk and cook until mixture boils and thickens, stirring constantly. Add Velveeta, cook 3 minutes or until melted, stirring frequently. Stir in macaroni.
• Spoon into casserole dish (spray with non stick cooking spray), sprinkle with cheddar cheese, remaining butter and sprinkle cracker/bread crumbs on top
• Bake for 20 minutes or until heated
• Enjoy!!

Like This Try That, Volume 2

Hi all!  Here is Andrew for the second round of 'Like This Try That'!

Alexa

I’m back! This week I am hear to tell you to swap “Boyfriend” by Justin Bieber (or any Bieber song for that matter) and add a new artist that is soon to be a chart smasher here in the United States. His name is Conor Maynard, he is big in the UK, and the song is called “Can’t Say No”.  Obsession does not even begin to cover the love I have for this song. Give it a try and tell me you cannot deny this undeniable late summer smash.  Until next time…fix your playlists and keep on coming back every week for my suggestion as to what you NEED to be listening too.
