Even as a non-cheezer, I love this simple idea for a party or shower. Cook up your favorite macaroni and cheese recipe, then create a bar of fun toppings to let you guests customize their own creation— ham, bacon, different kinds of cheese (blue cheese for a something blue!), mushrooms, asparagus. Let your imagination run wild– and encourage your guests to do the same!

Sorry I was absent yesterday– I had a big weekend away at a yoga camp. It was great, but by focusing on others parts of myself (i.e. body and soul)– and spending time with a dear friend– it didn’t leave room for much else. But I am back now and more energized!
Funny– while at the yoga camp (where healthy meals are provided) I asked about the fire pit — to find out if it were used and if they had s’mores. They laughed at me (apparently not)- but I think they are so much fun!
So I was happy to see this when I got home– gourmet s’mores! I want to go to that party!
She certainly thought of everything! Some thoughts from the hostess:
“Make your own desserts are a fun way to finish up dinner with guests. Setting up a s’mores bar is easy & everything can be prepped ahead of time. These ingredients are a step above your classic s’mores, though you can certainly do one if you’d like, but why not try an Elvis with a peanut butter cup & banana slice? Or maybe an Oreo made with oreo white chocolate sprinkled with sea salt on a chocolate graham is more your speed?
“For this one, we used a variety of spices including nutmeg & sea salt, assorted grahams, assorted chocolates including an amazing hazelnut bar, toppings like toasted coconut, and fruits. The possibilities are endless. One of our favorites? The St Lucia {named by my stepfather who claims it takes him back to a sailing trip to St Lucia} made with milk chocolate, marshmallow, a banana slice, sprinkled with cinnamon, and topped with toasted coconut.”
Yum!
