It’s been awhile since I’ve posted one of my culinary creations. The dining hall at Niagara University used to make this dessert called a Magic Cookie Bar, which I used to consume at a ridiculous rate whenever it was out. Recently I decided to make it at home. There is a lot of room for variety in this recipe. Change the type of chips you use, add nuts, add coconut, whatever you like. Personally, I don’t like coconut so I opted not to include it.

Baked Mac And Cheese
I decided I needed a break from the real estate writing for a day, so I’m posting my baked mac and cheese recipe. I modified a recipe that I found online at Food Net*work, to better suit my needs. This yields 8 servings, easily, and probably more if you are serving it as a side dish along with something else.
Mac & Cheese:
* 2 cups elbow macaroni
* 3 tablespoons butter
* 3 tablespoons flour
* 1 tablespoon powdered mustard
* 3 cups milk
* 1/2 tbsp onion salt
* 1/2 tbsp paprika
* 1 large egg
* 14 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded
* Fresh black pepper
Topping:
* 3 tablespoons butter
* 1/2 cup bread crumbs

Happy Festivus! If you are unfamiliar with the tradition of Festivus, please read up on the tradition over at Wikipedia. My friends and I have celebrated this tradition for a few years now, and it makes every year that much more … interesting. It’s the traditions that keep us strong, no matter what the holiday.
Have you had your Festivus Miracle yet?
I’m deviating from my normal posts about real estate and technology to bring you a recipe that was shared with me by another agent in my office. Ashley, our office manager (and newest agent – congrats!) was raving about these truffles that she made this past weekend, and I finally broke down and made some last ngiht.
Needless to say, these are delicious – but beware – they are also very very rich.
What you need:
1 package of Oreo cookies (original regular stuff is fine, but feel free to choose other flavors if you want!)
1 8oz package of cream cheese (softened)
1 bag of chocolate chips – I used a chocolate and peanut butter chip mix for mine
