This time of year is HUGE for NBA fans like myself, because the playoffs are in full action! We find ourselves hosting more parties with friends, or sometimes just the four of us. I am always trying to find new snack foods to serve during our parties and chips and dip are always a big crowd favorite. (who doesn’t love to dip?) Tostitos recently reached out to me to host a party using Tostitos Thins torilla chips. Available for a limited time only, these lighter, thinner…

Creamy Parmesan Tomatoes are a simple side dish consisting of roasted tomatoes topped with a creamy Parmesan spread. It is very customizable, just use whatever seasoning you are in the mood for, such as Italian, Cajun, or garlic.

While the traditional mac and cheese is delicious just as it is, I was craving something different and reached for this recipe for Pastrami Mac and Cheese. A smooth cheese sauce of sharp cheddar, with spicy Pastrami and buttered bread crumbs are baked with farfalle (or your noodle of choice). The result is a wonderful combination of flavors that are ultra comforting and hearty enough to be the main dish of your dinner.

Guest post by: from Making Food Eating Food, *photos ©chanelle richardson* So, that box of bright orange powdered-cheese-type-pasta-stuff works in a pinch…but it kinda freaks me out. I mean, is anything found in nature that is actually that colour? Anyway, I came up with a recipe for macaroni and cheese that is just as fast, even more delicious, and (to me) more gratifying. Quick Homemade Mac & Cheese makes enough to feed mom and two hungry smallish kiddos. adjust accordingly.

Cornbread Supreme Makes one 9″ x 13″ pan 1 (16 oz.) can whole kernel corn,…
