MANGO WINE SMOOTHIE

 

 

After a wonderful bike ride in the country you need to rehydrate yourself. Water is just plain boring. Add some class into your body. This is a light and refreshing beverage. Plus I added some REAL fruit juice in there.

  

MANGO WINE SMOOTHIE

 

1 Orange, Pineapple, Apple frozen concentrate

1 Orange

Mango Wine

1 Tray of ice

 

 

I placed one tray of ice in a blender. That's right I don't even have an automatic ice maker in the fridge, first world problems. Then I sliced an orange for garnish. I squeezed the rest of the orange into the blender. I added the frozen concentrate. Then 1/2 of the concentrate container of water into the blender. Then 1 frozen juice container of mango wine. Blend all the goodness together and enjoy. Pour into a wine glass and garnish with an orange slice. Now to cook some dinner or play some Mario Cart. Mario Cart it is!!!

Firefighter cake

Firefighter Cake

 



 

A cake fit for a firefighter. What more could a firefighter want than a cake with their number on it covered in sprinkles??? Pretty much everything.

 

 

I started out with two 6 inch rounds that were made out of chocolate. I cut of the top so that they were even, then I just frosted it with some delightful chocolate frosting! Please note that a turn table for frosting cake is a solid investment.

 

 

Then I added some white chocolate sixlets to the bottom of the cake, just to dress it up a little. The picture is not very good, sorry. Note to self- get a better camera, learn how to use the camera, take better pictures for blog. After that I just added the numbers and a fire engine Christmas ornament to the top. Then while spinning the turn table ( no techno music involved) shook some sprinkles out. My kitchen is a mess, but so worth it.

 

 

I'm just going to say it.. How cute is this? Makes my heart skip a beat, literally I just threw a PVC. Note to self- Go to cardiologist. Well here's to all firefighters ( career or volunteer) THANK YOU!!  Meow get out there save lives and in between calls eat some cake!

4TH OF JULY TREATS

 

4th of July Yummies

 

 

Patriotic chocolate fruit snacks.. Its not to good to be true.

 

 

Ingredients

Chocolate cups

White chocolate

raspberries

blueberries

 

 

Just start with melting some white chocolate. It doesn't take long in the microwave to melt it.

 

 

After I melted the white chocolate I poured it into the plastic condiment bottle. I let it cool down just a little bit, then I started to draw the stars on some waxed paper.

 

 

After I drew all the stars I sprinkled with edible glitter. Glitter makes people better.

 

 

After your glitter stars have set up. Grab the chocolate cups. Add some raspberries and blueberries. Then just add a white glittery star on top. A red, white and blue snack, perfect for a 4th of July Treat.

 BOOZY CHEESECAKE BITES

 

 

I love me some cheesecake and I love me some booze. Why not combine the two together??

 

 

First off let me just say that this originally was a huge fail. I mean like all of them got thrown away.  The problem, too much booze... way too much. The Jello calls for 1 1/2 cups of milk. I did 1/2 cup vodka and 1/2 cup Rum Chata. My first attempt in one word, GROSS!

 

 

 

Also in the picture where you see all of the ingredients needed, you may have noticed graham crackers. I've never claimed to be smart. So in the first batch I made a delicious graham cracker crust, pressed it into the cupcake molds. Then I was reading the side of the box. I'm thinking that there is no way you can make a crust out of 2 tbsp. of sugar and 5 tbsp. of butter and get that golden crust pictured above. Then I opened the box and saw that I am an idiot. Not often does that thought come straight from a box.

 

 

Second attempt I used the crust mix that comes in the box, it really doesn't taste bad. I got these all put together and chilling in the fridge. Perhaps I shall bring some to my co-workers. This is the recipe that doesn't taste like cough syrup.

 

Adult Cheesecake Bites

 

1 Jello cheesecake mix

1 cup milk

1/4 cup Cake Vodka

1/4 cup Rum Chata

 

Prepare your crust according to the instructions on the side of the box  :) Pat down into cupcake liners. Combine all other ingredients together and mix. Pour into crust cups. Chill for at least one hour. Serve with fruit sauce if you're feeling fancy.

 

 

Perhaps to make yourself feel a little better about drinking/eating in the middle of the day, maybe serve with a side of tea. Enjoy!

 

please drink/eat responsibly

 

30th Birthday Cake

 

 

Celebrate turning the dreaded 30 like a boss. I made this cake for my husband. Chocolate cake with a chocolate buttercream. Then decorated with shot glasses, booze and cigars. You know this cake will be a win for sure, even if it tastes awful. I stacked 2 eight inch rounds, that's the perfect height so the booze doesn't tower over the cake. I think this also would make a great apology cake. You messed up? Fix it with a bribe, it works all the time.

 

For my 30th I think instead of the cigars I would like sugar cookies. Shot glass, booze and sugar cookies. That seems like the perfect mix. Well only a couple more years. Good thing I can come back and reference this blog for this awesome idea, as I'm sure I forget by then. Meow what to do.

 

Baby Girl Sugar Cookies

 

 

One of my friends that just had twins told me the best gift someone brought to the hospital was food. I just want to clarify that wasn't me. I didn't bring her anything, cause I didn't know any better. Now I do, thanks Megan!

 

 

The next time around (different friend) I was going to be ready. I went out and bought a onesie, rattle, baby foot and bottle cookie cutter.

 

Baby "C" personalized onesie



Baby "C" personalized rattle. Of course all of these have edible glitter on them. For the love of Pete's dragon they are baby girl cookies! The more pink and glitter the better !

 

 

As always moment of truth... I think that the baby feet look like a T-bone steak. At least the sole part of it. I'm sure that this is just my problem, but these were not my favorite. Great meow I'm craving a steak.

 

The bottles were my favorite. I loved the measuring lines markings with tiny hearts out to the side. Those were super tiny sprinkles. I utilized a pair of tweezers to place them in the right spot. Trust me, every kitchen needs a pair of tweezers.

Don't worry be HAPPY!!

 

Delightful Avocado Egg Sandwich

 

 

 Just look at it! How delicious does that look. Simple to make, but makes a pretty fancy presentation. Plus it doesn't look too bad either. Did I mention I like that way it looks, so colorful!

 

Ingredients

 

English muffin

Avocado

Cheese

Egg

Butter

Salt and Pepper

 

Ready 5,6,7,8. Put the English muffin in to your toaster. Then cut your avocado in half and slice into thin slices. Make sure your avocado is ripe, otherwise this won't work to well. I pick my avocado when they are dark in color and slightly give when you squeeze them. That's right I squeeze my fruits and veg.

 

Then melt some butter and I use real butter. I read today on the internet that butter helps you burn fat! If its on the internet its FACT. On a medium-high temp after the butter is mostly melted I'll crack an egg it in. Then add some salt and pepper. I use a large spatula to flip my egg over so I won't break the yoke. Also if your butter is popping at you, turn down the heat!

 

So while your egg is frying away, start putting your sandwich together. Pull out your freshly toasted english muffin. Add a piece of cheese. I like Colby-jack because it tastes great and melts nice, real nice. Then grab your cut avocado. Run a spoon around the inside of the skin and it should come out in a nice fan. ( See above, see below, that's a nice fan.)

 

By the time you've done all that, your egg has mostly likely burnt. Why did I spend so much time on the avocado fan? Add your hot fried egg on top of the cheese. Let the melting begin. Then just put the two sides together, because its a sandwich. Enjoy.
