I got this recipe years ago and it's the best macaroni and cheese ever. I can't remember where I found it or who gave it to me but one of my Instagram followers messaged me, (which I appreciate) and said this looked very similar to Giada De Laurentis' Mac and Cheese recipe. I'm not sure of the origin of it but after reading mine and hers, they are almost the same so I'm crediting Giada for this wonderful take on Mac and Cheese! It's been a family favorite ever since I made this for them the first time! This yummy macaroni and cheese recipe is comfort food at its finest and can be your main dish or a side dish.

I needed a stiffer frosting that could be piped so I could top the cupcakes with the gold chocolate coins and green sprinkles. The Decorations I found these cute green and gold cupcake liners, green sprinkles, and gold chocolate coins at one of my favorite baking supply stores and couldn't wait to make these cute cupcakes. I've listed the cake recipe

My husbands Grandma Fuhriman and her sister Jeanie were amazing cooks. We loved to visit them both and I always enjoyed following them around their kitchens trying to help them cook and learn some of their delicious recipes. They were the cutest things and shared a special relationship with one another.
The two of them always made this chocolate cake that everyone loved. The rumor is that Grandma made up the frosting and Jeanie made up the cake. They were always tweaking the recipe of both the cake and frosting. We have found at least 7 different versions of this recipe!
Aunt Jeanie, as we called her, lived near our Washington home and we'd see her often. She never forgot anyone's birthday and always showed up with at least one of her chocolate cakes no matter the occasion. She had this way of making everyone feel like
