The 25 Days of Christmas Day 25: Alternative to Baskets Complimented by The Lady’s Cheesy Mac Recipe

Merry Christmas Friends,

It's our pleasure to continue the 25 Days of Christmas feature for you, our good friends. December 1st through December 25th you can visit our blog for helpful, money-saving ideas to decorate your space for the holidays. It's just a little something to show our appreciation for your continued support of Interior Design eBlog.

When giving homemade treats as a gift, think outside the basket. A colorful bowl, platter or tray does the trick and is more likely to be reused by the recipient. Shop estate sales, flea markets and antique markets to find vintage transferware, hand-painted porcelain and cut crystal. For no-cost options, check your cupboards for those bowls, platters or trays that you picked up because they caught your eye but rarely use for whatever reason. Recycle is the new trend.

Enjoy and share this The Lady’s Cheesy Mac recipe courtesy of Paula Deen.

Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
3 eggs, beaten
4 cups cooked elbow macaroni, drained
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk

Directions;
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Once you have the macaroni cooked and drained, place in a large bowl and while still hot and add the cheddar. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and add to the macaroni mixture. Pour macaroni mixture into a casserole dish and bake for 30 to 45 minutes. Top with additional cheese if desired.

Servings: 6 to 8 servings
Prep Time: 20 min
