Mini Mac n' Cheese Muffins

Haven't tried yet...sounds like a neat idea
http://shine.yahoo.com/tistheseason/tis-season-mini-mac-n-cheese-muffins-004800028.html

These bite-sized treats are perfect for a holiday party whether you're a guest or the host.

Yields: 48 mini muffins



Ingredients:


1 lb. small elbow pasta
6 oz. butter, divided
4 oz. flour
4 cups whole milk
1 lb. cheddar cheese, grated 3 eggs, whisked

¾ cup bread crumbs
1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
salt to taste

Special equipment:
24 count mini muffin tin



Method:



Bring salted water to a rolling boil and cook pasta according to package directions. Cook until soft.
(Tip: Don't stop at al dente, the pasta will not continue to cook through when molded into muffin form.)



Make Mornay sauce by melting 3 oz. of butter and mixing in the flour. Cook the butter and flour together for a few minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. Slowly add the milk and whisk in. When sauce thickens remove from heat and add grated cheese. Season with salt and cayenne. Add sauce to the cooked pasta Then add 1/2 cup of bread crumbs and eggs. Stir the mixture.



Melt the remaining 3 oz. of butter and blend in with the 1/4 cup of bread crumbs. Set bread crumb mixture aside.



Liberally grease mini muffin tins.

Spoon the mac n' cheese mixture into the muffin tins. Garnish with bread crumb mixture and bake for about 20 minutes or until browned on top and somewhat firm to the touch.



Cool for about 15 minutes before removing them. If you have trouble removing them cool for a bit longer.

Gaga's Cranberry Salad

1pkg fresh cranberries ground up
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 large pkg raspberry gelatin
3 cups water
3 oranges cut up in small pieces
the zest of one orange

The recipe came with no instructions but Lisa (my sister) has made it a few times. She said that she puts the cranberries in the blender with a little bit of water and grinds them- after they are ground up she drains out the water. She said sometimes she put the oranges in the blender too. Then she just puts all of the ingredients into a big bowl- stirs it up and puts it in the refrigerator. The recipe doesn't call for any nuts but I was looking around the internet at some other cranberry salad recipe's and it is very common to add 1/2 cup of walnuts. When I made this and it turned out well, I used 1 large box of raspberry gelatin and I blended the cranberries with 1&1/2 cups orange juice (water would have worked fine too...I had OJ to use up) so that I wouldn't have to try to drain them then I boiled the other 1&1/2 cups of water to add to the jello mixture.
