    • Frozen Pineapple Strawberry Margaritas

    by Leave a Comment

    The weekend is right around the corner.  Funny how they creep up so fast.  Every five days or so they come around again. This time you should indulge yourself in a mouthwatering tasty adult beverage.  I know you deserve it.  The week is just so full of chaos and running.  School starts up in less than four weeks so here comes more mayhem.  Sometimes on the weekend it just feels good to kick back a little bit.  I got just the right go to cocktail recipe that will help you do just that. These Frozen Pineapple Strawberry Margaritas take no time at all to make and they are lip smacking good.  Have you tried any of my other adult beverages?  So many great cocktail recipes and so little time.  Adult Root Beer Float, Raspberry Margaritas and Blackberry Vodka Limeade are just a few of mine and hubby’s favorites. 

    These beautiful fun and refreshing Frozen Pineapple Strawberry Margaritas come together quickly in a blender.  There are only seven ingredients and one of them is ice.  We mix them a little strong here in the Midwest so tune down the tequila if you are a light weight.  LOL!!  You can also freeze all your fruit and skip the ice.  Somehow hubby and I never plan that far in advance when we decide to brew up a pitcher of libations.  

    So after you mow the lawn, do the laundry and all the other crazy chores that are reserved for the weekend get that blender out and mix up a big batch of these Frozen Pineapple Strawberry Margaritas.  Kick it back and enjoy a little bit of the weekend before it is over.

    One Skillet Savory Beef Tips and Gravy

    by 16 Comments

    It seems like y’all are tiring of summer recipes already. Have you had your fill of summer pasta salads and grill recipes?   It is funny how food blogging have turned kind of like the clothing industry.  They put the bathing suits out in February even though here in Missouri you would not put that on for another three months.  I have not been clothes shopping in a while but I would not be surprised to see all the winter sweaters, boots, and coats out and the summer attire on clearance.   That is not good for a person like me.  I do not plan ahead as I prefer to fly by the seat of my pants.  

    One Skillet Savory Beef Tips and Gravy is the ultimate in comfort food and is geared a little more towards fall although it is awesome anytime of the year.  Have you tried any of my other savory dishes?  Savory Sweet Swedish Meatballs, Beef Stroganoff and Bacon Asparagus Cajun Pasta are just a few of my favorites.  There is just something amazing about comfort food recipes even if it is a while before we cool back down again.  

    One Skillet Savory Beef Tips and Gravy combines beef steak, mushrooms, onions and garlic in a rich creamy gravy that is lightly seasoned.  It is quick to prepare and mouthwatering delicious.   It is amazing served over Amish Country extra wide homestyle noodles. If you prefer mashed potatoes that is delicious as well.   If you don’t like mushrooms omit them.  As I always say don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.  

    So if you have a hankering for an easy deeeeeeeelish comfort food meal than I have your ticket. One Skillet Savory Beef Tips and Gravy will make your day!

    Asiago Chicken with Spinach Shallots Carrots

    by Leave a Comment

    Did you know that over 80 pounds of chicken is consumed by an average American every year.  I would say you can double that for my house.  American’s favorite bird is so versatile and economical that is easy to understand. With 25 billion chickens in the world, there are more of them than any other bird species which leads to lots of wonderful chicken recipes. This Asiago Chicken with Spinach Shallots Carrots is lightly browned chicken in a perfectly seasoned Asiago cheese cream sauce.  It is served with sauteed spinach, shallots, sweet carrots and fresh garlic.  

    An average dish of cooked chicken weighs about 1/4 of a lb. and contains 337 calories. If you fry it, then the calories almost double. Chicken meat is rich in vitamins B12, B6, B3 as well as  the minerals phosphorus, and zinc.  So many great recipes to make with this awesome bird.  The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.  

    Have you tried any of my other chicken recipes like Easy Creamy Chicken Mushroom Asparagus Skillet or One Skillet Savory Chicken and Orzo? So many great chicken recipes so little time!  

    Did you know chickens are the closest living relative of the tyrannosaur? Do you remember that guy from Jurassic Park?  I think I will just deal with the chicken.  LOL!!

    This Asiago Chicken with Spinach Shallots Carrots is prepared in less that 30 minutes and can be served over orzo, rice, angel hair pasta or even mashed potatoes if that is what you dig.  So if you love chicken as much as we do put this on the list and let me know what you think!

    Well Easter and other spring celebrations are right around the corner.  I love this time of the year.  The days are getting longer.  Shoot daylight savings time starts this coming weekend.  That is a food bloggers dream come true.  We depend on natural light to enhance our food photography. Spring and summer are definitely the best seasons for taking food photos.

       The bulbs are all popping their little heads out and starting to bloom. The trees are starting to bud out and some are in full bloom.  The days are getting so much warmer and I am chomping at the bit to get the patio furniture out.

    Perfect time of the year for celebrations and parties.  These Easy Frosty Strawberry Mimosas will come in handy for your Easter celebration, birthday party or neighborhood soiree.  

    If you have five minutes and a blender than these beautiful Easy Frosty Strawberry Mimosas can be all yours.  Make sure you have plenty of supplies because they will move fast.  I use frozen strawberries for these because  I have found that frozen strawberries are usually sweeter than their fresh counterparts.  I am sure that the suppliers are able to pick them when they are are perfectly ripe because there isn’t any shelf life.  They are flash frozen at their peak making them the perfect berry for these. 

     

    Your guests will love these cool refreshing Easy Frosty Strawberry Mimosas.  Keep the blender handy and plenty of champagne chilling because they will be asking for more.

    So Simple Kit Kat Frozen Cocoa

    This past weekend seemed to be the perfect time to create a kid friendly delectable treat.  My daughters best friend was in from out of town and she was happy to watch us video and photograph this newest concoction.  The kids were all trying to wait patiently for their portion of So Simple Kit Kat Frozen Cocoa!  Some were waiting a little more patiently than others!  LOL!

    What is your favorite candy bar?  Are you a Snickers fan with all that luscious caramel and crunchy peanuts?  Are you a Mounds fan with all that delicious chocolate covered coconut?  How does the saying go… sometimes you feel like nut sometimes you don’t.  Are you more of a Heath fan with all that chocolate covered scrumptious English toffee?  I think the most overall loved candy bar at our house is Kit Kat.  My kids have been know to fight over them.  Now I am sure you are asking yourself who in the world fights over candy bars?  That would be my kids.

     These So Simple Kit Kat Frozen Cocoa sweet treats can be made in a matter of minutes and are packed full of chocolate and Kit Kat goodness. 

    Now when I was shooting the pictures I keep moving the glasses to different light and I told the kids I had to hurry because whipped cream does not hold up long at all.  They said that I should use what the professionals use.  They said use shaving cream.  I said there is only one problem with that THEN YOU CAN NOT EAT IT!  They quickly changed their mind and just helped me with whatever I needed to hurry up!

    Blueberry Cream Cheese Bars

    by Leave a Comment

    Blueberries are my absolute favorite berry.  We are so lucky to have a plentiful supply year round.  They vary in price as the seasons pass based on supply and demand but they are available.  Our neighborhood Costco carries them year round at reasonable prices and they even offer organic ones.  I just can not get enough of these beauties.  If you are familiar with my blog and recipes than you know how much I love blueberries.  As a matter of face I adore them.  Have you tried my Blueberry Cheesecakes in Mason Jars, Blueberry Orange Cream Cheese Cookies or my Cream Cheese Dumplings with Blueberry Sauce?  The list goes on and on!

    Now of all the things that go with blueberries cream cheese has got to be at the top of that list.  These Blueberry Cream Cheese Bars bring out the best that pair has to offer.  Delectable sweet blueberries are simmered in a lightly sweetened sauce and then swirled in a cheesecake filling all a top a simple graham cracker crust.   Folks life does not get much better than this.  

    The blueberry filling needs to chill a bit before being swirled in the cream cheese mixture however you can make it up to a day ahead. You can swirl it through the cream cheese with anything thin like a bamboo skewer. Please refrigerate the bars after the dish has cooled for several hours.  

    These Blueberry Cream Cheese Bars are perfect for potlucks, dinner parties, patio parties neighborhood soirees and  birthday parties.    Your family is going to love these delectable treats made with my favorite berry!

    Well the days are getting colder and the nights are getting longer.  Sometimes you just have to stay indoors. I have grown much too old to step out into the frozen tundra to light the barbecue pit.  The sidewalks are slippery and the barbecue pit is covered in ice.  I don’t need to have a second fall after I broke my hand back in October.  Let me assure you that vodka had nothing to do with that fall.

     It is the perfect time of year to break out the skillet and see what kind of goodies a bit of health and happiness can create.  This Sweet Ginger Beef and Beans is sure to become one of your absolute favorites.

    sweet-ginger-beef-and-beans-3

    There is nothing difficult about this deliciously sweet skillet meal   It comes together in a matter of about twenty minutes.  If you blanch your green beans ahead of time you can even trim a few more minutes off of that!  If you are like me than you are always trying to stay ahead of the eight ball.  Now I am really showing my age by using sayings like that one.  Sweet Ginger Beef and Beans is chock full of beef steak, green beans, red pepper and onions in the most amazing sweet yet savory garlic ginger sauce!

    Are you a big party thrower? Do you wish you were a seasoned party hostess?  I love to entertain but often run short of the time and funds. There are just not enough hours in the day.  However I do still love it and will in my older years entertain quite frequently.  I took these Easy Mini Meatloaf Party Bites to my neighbors soiree over the weekend.  They were a big hit and oh so easy and cute.

    All that being said the true success of an appetizer is how fast it flies off the platter and into the mouths of your friends and family!!  That is why these should be called Speedy Gonzalez Easy Mini Meatloaf Party Bites!!!
