Comforting Macaroni Pie

Comforting Macaroni Pie
What can I say about macaroni pie? It's better then cheese cake!  Well that's my opinion and plus I don't eat cheesecake. LOL!

My friends and family love my macaroni pie. Growing up, this was a staple in my family.  And the irony is I'm now lactose intolerant,  but that doesn't stop me from eating it.

It's called macaroni pie because it is layered with cheese that holds together the filling of creamy seasoned macaroni and cheese - like a pie.  Macaroni pie goes with everything.  It's a perfect carb to complement chicken or red meat.

Buttercream Cupcakes

I love anything sweet, especially cupcakes. The wife of a good friend from work bakes beautiful cakes and cupcakes and I usually ask her to fill my orders for cupcakes.  But for an event I had coming up, she was busy that particular weekend and couldn't make them.  

So, I decided to try and bake them myself.  They turned out perfect, as you can see by the picture: light and fluffy with a smooth creamy topping.  I decided to top them with what I'm now considering my signature candy pearls.  I love these and bake them any chance I get.
