I can hardly believe St. Patrick’s day is less than a week away! How will you be celebrating? Corned beef and cabbage? Shamrock shakes and green beer? I thought I would mark the occasion by giving a comfort food classic an Irish twist – St. Paddy’s Day Mac and Cheese. I’ve added in Guinness Stout and Irish Cheddar Cheese to give a childhood favourite a flavourful, grown-up makeover. It’s decadent, creamy and so delicious. I bet you’ll never make regular Mac and Cheese again! Happy St. Paddy’s Day!
With the festive season in full swing, that inevitably means festive entertaining. And around here it’s about easy entertaining. If you read my post on easy fall entertaining, you know my go to for informal entertaining is charcuterie boards. Today’s recipe wraps two of my favorite elements of a charcuterie board into one delicious way to start a party – a Fig and Prosciutto Pull Apart Bread.
While there is much to dislike about this time of year – shorter days and cooler temps – what makes it enjoyable for me is the entertaining and gatherings that happen. The festive spirit and gaiety of getting together with family and friends over shadows winters arrival. And there is simply nothing better than easy fall entertaining – the kind that can be thrown together in minutes, allowing plenty of time to sit and enjoy the company of family and friends.
