When I was growing up, macaroni and cheese was a staple family meal at my house. Now that I’m an adult (wow, I’m an adult!) I have made mac and cheese a staple meal in my own household. However, I made one simple variation that my mother never did: I make my cheesy casserole in the slow cooker.

Cooking macaroni and cheese in the Crock Pot still tastes just as amazing as it does on the stove or in the oven, but it’s a whole lot easier to do! Plus, I find the texture to be smoother and much creamier. All you do is dump, pour, and wait. That’s it! Within a few hours, you’ll have creamy, dreamy macaroni and cheese staring you right in the face.

Whip up this tasty dessert in two shakes of a lamb’s tail! It’s so unbelievably simple, and it tastes great! We all remember sneaking tastes from the cookie dough bowl when mom or grandma was making a batch, right? Well, this time, you can steal all the tastes you want without getting your fingers slapped. That is if you’re dipping off your own plate.

Chocolate cookie dough dip is a major hit at my house. It’s creamy, decadent, and perfect with graham crackers. And guess what? There’s no raw egg in this recipe, so you don’t have to worry about semolina. Just pure, amazing goodness. Make a batch for yourself and see what all the fuss is about!

Quick Tip: Even though the recipe doesn’t clal for it, add in a can of cream of mushroom soup mix for a creamier sauce. This is what I did and ate the beef over egg noodles as sort of a stroghanoff.

Macaroni salad is a staple picnic food that my has at almost every summer gathering. We don’t just make this salad; we craft this salad with a chef-like precision. Ok, so we like to think so, anyway. Haha!

This recipe for mac salad is the bees knees, and you wanna know why? Because there is tuna fish in it. Now, I know what you’re thinking, “not everyone likes tuna!” I totally get that. I, particularly don’t like tuna, but when it’s intermingled in the savory ingredients of this salad, it truly becomes the “chicken of the sea.” Tuna gives this traditional BBQ salad such an awesome kick of flavor and protein.

If you aren’t a tuna fan, I encourage you to at least give this macaroni salad recipe a try. I just might make a believer out of you, yet! I have a house full of picky eaters and they gobbled this up so fast, I knew within minutes I should have made a double batch!
