Another great sectional, this one with a leather & fabric combo.  Perfect for that big tv room, or for that great living room for entertaining…I love the mix of pillows and the round stone coffee table.  It’s the perfect mix!

It’s an updated take on the bistro table.  We love the raw natural wood table paired with the seed bag fabric barstools, great clean look.  Bungalow Furniture & Accessories has amazing new things that would look great in your home!  Come in and see us soon!

These new woven chairs are so comfortable & stylish…we love them around this amazing stone table!  Come in and take a look, Bungalow has tons of great new merchandise!

One of Bungalow’s best sellers is the California sectional by Lee Industries.  We have it upholstered in a neutral fabric, easy to fit into any living space.  The sectional is the size of 2 twin beds, so it’s extra big and cozy for tv watching….but tailored and clean enough for a more formal living space.

Stop in this weekend!  We would love to see you!

1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened

2 teaspoons vanilla extract (I just used the cap to measure out two cap fulls, does anybody else do this?)

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups flour

1 1/4 cups chocolate chips (use whatever kind you have, semi-sweet, milk, butterscotch, white… possibilities are endless!)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie pan with parchment paper. Mix the butter and vanilla.

Add in the flour, sugar, salt and chocolate chips, using your hands or a wooden spoon mix it all together until well combined.

The dough will be fairly dry and crumbly. Dump the dough onto lined cookie sheet.

Press it into a thin layer using your hands. Mine didn’t completely fill the cookie tray. The thinner you press it, the crispier it will be and the quicker it will cook, so adjust accordingly.

Bake for 20 minutes, check, if edges are lightly brown and center is set, remove from oven. Allow to cool COMPLETELY (this is probably the hardest part, I put the whole tray in the fridge to speed up the process ☺).

Break up into pieces.

1 1/2 cups milk

One 12 oz can evaporated milk (I used skim, evaporated milk keeps the egg and milk from curdling)

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted, cooled to room temp

3 large eggs

1/2 tsp salt

3 cups (12 oz) shredded cheese (I used an Italian blend, recipe calls for Italian fontina cheese)

1/2 pound elbow macaroni or mini penne tubes, par cooked and drained (this means cook them for about five minutes until tender but not completely cooked)

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Spray the inside of your slow-cooker with cooking spray or grease it with olive oil. Combine milk, evaporated milk, eggs, butter, and salt in slow-cooker and whisk until until smooth (or you can use an immersion blender to do the whisking for you).

Add the shredded cheese (not the Parmesan) and macaroni, sprinkle with black pepper (and whatever other spices you want to use). Stir gently with a spatula to coat evenly.

Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top. Cover and cook on HIGH for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, reduce the temperature to LOW and cook for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until custard is set in the center and the pasta is tender. The macaroni and cheese may sit in the cooker on the KEEP WARM setting for 30 minutes before serving. Before dishing it up, I sautéed some bread crumbs with olive oil and sprinkled them over the top to make it a little fancier.

Who wouldn’t want a handmade bone inlay tray?  It’s like a beautiful piece of jewelry for your home!  It’s definitely one of those pieces you buy and keep for always!  Bungalow Furniture & Accessories has a great selection of these handmade pieces!
