Classic Pina Colada

May 17, 2013 Nicole

This is such a great recipe! Delicious!! I used the concoction maker to make this recipe and it came out great. I can’t tell you how much ice and water to use because it will depend on the consistency for you but if you add it as you need it you will have a great pina colada.

A funny question I got from my neighbor once we made these was…. why aren’t they white? Pina Coladas are white! When I get them in a restaurant they are always white.

Her question made me laugh! These won’t be white because they are made with fresh ingredients not chemicals. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 (12-ounce) can coconut milk (not water)
2 cups flaked sweetened coconut
2 cups cubed fresh pineapple (Frozen)
2 1/2 cups ice cubes (More or less as needed
Water as needed
1 cup blanco/white rum
1/2 cup pineapple juice
2 tablespoons honey (more if needed)

Directions:

Combine coconut milk, coconut flakes, pineapple, rum, honey and pineapple juice, and water as needed (For consistency) and blend!

Cowpoke Casserole

May 14, 2013 Nicole

I found two recipes that had the same similar concept and similar ingredients but they were both completely different. I loved the idea of both of them so I took what I liked about each recipe and combined them together. What came of the two was an incredible recipe that my entire family loved.

The recipe calls for a 9×13 pan which is normally way too much food for us and always means a ton of leftovers. I debated half-ing the recipe but then I thought it would became a pain with too many half cans to worry with. I decided to make the entire recipe, and thank goodness I did. By the time dinner was over there was about 1/8^th of the pan left over. I was stunned, but yes it was that good!

We all loved this recipe and I can easily see it being on our menu again and again. It’s easy, dirt cheap and delicious!

Ingredients:

1 lb. of ground beef
4 tbsp. dry minced onions
1 can cream of mushroom soup
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 can Rotel (I used mild) do not drain
Tater tots – 32 oz. (leave frozen)
Cheddar cheese – 2 cups

Directions:

Brown ground beef then drain the grease off (Before you add the spices)
Add diced onions, cumin, garlic powder and salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are soft.
Add, soup and Rotel tomatoes, then mix together well
In the bottom of a greased 9×13 pan add bag of tatar tots in one single layer you may not need the entire bag, then top with 1 cup of the cheese.
Then on top of the tots and cheese add burger mixture then top with remaining cheese
Place in a 350F oven for 30 -45 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

The Painkiller …. The Official Drink of the British Virgin Islands

May 11, 2013 Nicole

I have often found myself in pain the last few weeks trying to get through finals without have a meltdown or a nervous breakdown. One way to kill the pain of dealing with the drama was to try this amazing drink. Appropriately named by the way…

Although I only had one because I didn’t have time to be inebriated this drink is really delicious.

It’s easy to make with no blender needed. Just place all the ingredients in a glass or shaker … shake and done! Excellent, and no doubt with enough of them a pain killer… at least until the next day. According to the recipe this is a serving for one to two. I personally think it’s a serving for only one!

Ingredients:

2 oz. Rum (White or Blanco)
4 oz. pineapple juice (I used fresh, but pre-packed would be sweeter)
1 oz. cream of coconut
1 oz. orange juice (I used fresh, but pre-packed would be sweeter)
Grated fresh nutmeg

Directions:

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice add first four ingredients and stir. Pour into cocktail glasses and top with grated nutmeg.

Chocolate Butter Chess Cake

May 10, 2013 Nicole

I have been wanting to try a butter cake recipe for a while now. Tonight in celebration of our finals being over I made a chocolate butter cake. OK So it’s not the real deal because the real deal calls for a yellow cake and I didn’t have one on hand nor did I have any desire to head out and get one. The weather is nasty anyway … no thank you!

I did have a chocolate fudge boxed cake mix so I decided to try it instead of a yellow cake. I mean …. Hello! … It’s chocolate …how could it be anything but fantastic?

This is a very easy recipe to make. If you are having guests over and you need something quick and easy this recipe should hit the spot. You don’t need to have a lot of ingredients on hand nor does it take a ton of time to make. It makes a great presentation and tastes fantastic. What more can you ask for?

I read many places online that people have mixed feelings on this recipe because it’s very sweet. If you don’t like anything super sweet then this recipe is NOT for you. We all loved it but I have to admit one pieces is my limit because it’s so sweet. It may not be as sweet if you use yellow cake in place of chocolate.
