We are celebrating three days of sharing Holiday Side Dish recipes this week......

Heather of Hezzi-D's Books and Cooks invited us to join her this week in sharing recipes for Holiday Sides.  We are posting on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  This gives you plenty of time to plan your Holiday Menus.

Check out all the fabulous holiday side dishes:

• Apple Butter from Simply Inspired Meals
• Creamed Spinach from Palatable Pastime
• Honey-Whiskey Glazed Sweet Potatoes from Kate's Recipe Box
• Mac and Cheese Muffins from A Day in the Life on the Farm

I chose to share a recipe for individual Mac and Cheese made in muffin cups.  Why?  Well because today is also Muffin Monday, an event we celebrate on the last Monday of each month.  This month, Sue of Palatable Pastime asked us to go rogue and serve up anything that can be made in a muffin pan.

Let's take a look at the Rogue Muffins being shared today.......

• Individual Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole Muffins from Karen's Kitchen Stories
• Mac and Cheese Muffins from A Day in the Life on the Farm
• Mini Cheesecakes from Making Miracles
• Mini Pumpkin Pies from Palatable Pastime
• Tiny Taco Bites from Food Lust People Love

MuffinMonday is a group of muffin loving bakers who get together once a month to bake muffins. You can see all of our lovely muffins by following our Pinterest board. Updated links for all of our past events and more information about Muffin Monday can be found on our home page.




I entertain A LOT during the holidays.  We have many fancy sit down dinners but we also have a lot of casual get togethers, including my very favorite when all the Grands come to have brunch and visit with Santa.

This year I am serving up a buffet that will include these wonderful individual mac and cheese cups.  The Angel Face, the Teen and all the great nieces and nephews are going to be thrilled.

The holidays around here start with Halloween and go non stop until January 6th when we have a final celebration for Epiphany.  Then we take a short break until it is time for Chinese New Year, Nicole's Birthday and Valentine's Day.

We've already celebrated Amy's Birthday this month and had a pumpkin carving party.  Next up is our Annual Scrapfest next Saturday. This means my TC family will be here for the weekend and I will be starting my Christmas Cards.  Wooohooooo.  When do the holiday celebrations start at your house?
