Potato Chip Crusted Sausage Macaroni & Cheese Cups (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)
Why is it that I can think of a million things to say about a recipe while I’m doing something like taking a shower or cooking with my elbows deep in flour, but when I sit down to write, nothing. Blank.
I’ve been having really bad writer’s block recently, don't know why. Let’s face it, I’ve never been a great writer. I didn’t start this blog to showcase my mad writing skills (the non-existent ones) or bestow some gift of knowledge upon my readers with every keystroke. I'm here to make the cookies.
No, but really, I love sharing random thoughts and yummy things that my family and friends have enjoyed but not every chocolate chip cookie has a story behind it. People have to eat and I like to cook, period. Sometimes I make favorite recipes that remind me of people I love and I like to share those, but most of the time I just make things that I think will be liked, or things I’ve seen from favorite bloggers, or (most importantly) things I have the ingredients for.
These, for example, I made because I was trying to solve the bottom-of-the-chip-bag life crisis that I think we can all relate to. When you have a lot of back to back get-togethers and go through like 20 bags of chips, you end up with a lot of crumbly broken chips. This is the answer that you’ve been searching for your whole life, right here. Enter, the potato chip crusted sausage mac n cheese cups.
Okay, so they are pretty ridiculously carb on carb, I know this, but there is cheese and sausage and milk. So basically, these are like healthy right? Well, at least they are small so no serious damage can happen with just one, assuming you can restrict yourself to that.
Full disclosure: these were a bit on the crumbly side. My older sister and I laughed together after watching as our younger sister tried a bite of one, dropped some crumbs, got angry at the little piece of cheesy goodness as if it had motive to ruin her life, then left it sitting on the nearest counter to plan her revenge. I tried to suggest that she could just use a plate or napkin but she informed me that the evil thing would still find a way to make a mess.
Moral of story, serve these with napkins and/or plates and you’re all good.
As always, the recipe is available upon request. The first request gets an upvote.
ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more in my INTRO POST. And by the way, my intro post did a huge $0.21

That looks delicious! And great pictures! Im also not a great writer(, also not a great talker). I think for me, the pictures will do the talking. for me pictures can help me writing something. I like to post food recipes I personally like and not so what i believe others will like. I also like to post about food recipes that requires a lot of time so I can write a lot about it. Just be you :-).
That is so kind, thanks @fathin-shihab!

Yum love this Thanks for posting
You are very welcome @healthbeautyfl!
That looks delicious :* Being a fitness freak, you have to make healthy choices.
And since I'm on bulking I don't mind the extra carbs. This can work as a great cheat meal. FYI, I loved your peanut butter cups recipe. I love PB. And mixing it with yogurt was very innovative. That'll increase the protein content and it'll reduce my cravings. Definitely I'll give it a try. Looking forwards for such wonderful recipes. :)
Loved the hashtag foodporn :P
