Summer Sides..."Cats Chili-dog Mac-n-cheese!"

Hey y'all...hope you had a great 4th of July. I know a lot of y'all are having gatheringa all weekend to celebrate so I thought it's the perfect time to kick off my series "Summer Sides." We all get invited to bbq's...potlucks...parties and if you're like me I like a recipe that's easy & a crowd pleasure. Well this recipe is a combination of my love for "chili & mac-n-cheese." I know you're going chili in the summer...are you nuts. Seriously this recipe is d'lish...adult & kid friendly. You won't be the one that brings the typical mac-n-cheese with this recipe :-) My series "Summer Sides" is ue to easy & d'lish recipes for entertaining. I don't do a long time-consuming recipe anymore due to my health restrictions. But I still want a d'lish recipe for my family. I served my dish on the "America,,,Sew Beautiful" trivet that I made on my quilting blog. Fabric is the stunning collection "American Beauty" by Riley Blake Designs .You know me..it's all about fun-ctional decor. So keep checking back for more "Summer Sides" for your family...fun...entertaining. I'm also featuring "Teach the kiddos 2 Sew this Summer" & "Stitchin' @ the Lake" which have already started on my quilt blog.
