  1. A mom had a secret recipe that she would not share with anyone, she said over her dead body, so when she died, the Christmas Cookie recipe was put on her grave stone. She got her wish, it was over her dead body!!!!!!!!!!!

     

     

    Ingredients:

     

    1  cup of sugar

    1/2  cup of unsalted butter (1 stick)

    2  beaten eggs

    1  tsp of vanilla

     

     

    3  cups of flour

    3 tsp of baking powder

    1 tsp of salt

    1 cup of cream

     

    Add the first 4 ingredients and beat them till they are smooth.

     

    Mix the last 3 ingredients into the first 4, alternately with the cream

     

    Chill the dough

     

    Roll the dough out with flour on the board to avoid sticking

     

    Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for 8 minutes

     

    Cool the cookies and then frost them

     

     

    Frosting for the cookies:

     

    1 cup of powder sugar

     

    water to mix the powder sugar with, stir the

    powder sugar till smooth.

  2. 2 Bananas

    cut the bananas into 1 inch slices

    1/2 cup of strawberries cut into 1 inch slices

    2 T Coconut milk

    1/2 T Vanilla

     

    slice bananas and strawberries freeze overnight.

    put strawberries in food processer

    mix them to the consistency of soft server

    add bananas to the strawberries, again mix

    the bananas to the consistency of soft serve

    add milk and vanilla to the processor and mix

    put in freezer overnight to finish the Ice Cream.

  3. I admit it, that's what I normally do also and I use the chicken for enchiladas, sammies, soup, or whatever, its much easier and convenient, but I wanted to see  what the chicken would taste like if I got a rub from food.com, and do it myself. (first time I have tried this lol) and also the first time I cooked it the crockpot, after about 5 hours the meat was falling off the bones, I left it a bit longer just to be sure, because Stormy doesn't normally like chicken, because he is afraid its not cooked at the bone, he has been served chicken that was undercooked and blood still at the bone, anyhow, when I pulled the chicken out I needed a spatula and a fork because the meat was so tender it was like pulled pork, and the flavor was pretty good. Anyhow enough babbling lol It turned out great and Stormy enjoyed the sammie I made.

  4. I used a whole chicken for this and I used all the spice rub.  I put the spice rub under the skin and then on top of skin.

     

    I used olive oil to cover the chicken lightly so the spice rub would remain on the chicken while it cooked.

     

     

    2 T of salt

    2 T of white sugar

    2 T of brown sugar

    2 T of cumin

    I used a little more then 2 T, because I like the taste of cumin

    2 T of chili powder

    I used a little more then 2 T, because I like the taste of chili powder

    2 T pepper

    1/4 cup of paprika

     

    Mix it together till its totally blended.

     

    I suppose you could used this spice rub on more then just chicken, I'm thinking maybe on some ribs, or mix it with some hamburger meat for tacos.

     

     

  5. 6 small yellow or red potatoes, your choice of potato that you like best.

    Kosher salt.

    2 TBSP of Olive Oil

    Fresh ground Black Pepper

     

     

    In a small sauce pan, boil your potatoes for 12 minutes, in lightly salted water until fork tender.

     

    Pre Heat oven to 475 degrees

     

    Put your fork tender potatoes on a baking sheet, and with a potato masher, gently mash each potato with a little texture on the top of each of the potatoes.

     

    Drizzle the top of each potato with olive oil.

     

    Sprinkle each potato, generously, with salt and pepper.

     

    Bake until golden brown, and crisp 15 minutes.

     

    Variations:

     

    Add a pat of butter to each potato, before baking

    Add some cheddar cheese on top of each, before baking.

  6. I didn't believe this would work, so I just had to try it, as Stormy says, I see a new recipe and I just have to try it, but to my surprise, it did work and the cake is very good.

     

    To do this you have to change a few of the additions to the cake:

     

    water= you use milk instead

    oil= you use butter instead

    eggs= whatever the box calls for you add two more eggs

     

    Try this and let me know what you think, of course I made chocolate cake, because its the only one Stormy will eat LOL.

     

     

  7.     Dry Ingredients 

     

    1 cup of cornmeal

    1 cup of flour

    2 teaspoons of baking powder

    1/4 cup of sugar (optional)

    1/2 teaspoon of salt

     

        Wet Ingredients

     

    1 cup of milk or buttermilk

    1 egg

    1/4 cup of butter, melted

    Cheddar Cheese ( I used 1 cup )

    4  Breakfast Sausage cooked and chopped fine

    2 Jalapenos remove seeds and pith (optional)

    slice thinly, the more seeds you leave, the spicier the muffins are.

     

    Mix dry ingredients, fold in the wet ingredients, I use an ice cream scoop to scoop the mixture into cupcake papers in muffin tin.

     

    Bake in preheated oven 400 degrees for 25 minutes.

     

    You may want to spray the cupcake paper so it doesn't stick to the muffin, I live and learn, I didn't spray it so when I tried to peel paper off muffin, the muffin pulled off with paper.

  13. Ingredients
    4 ears corn, in their husks
    2 jalapeno peppers
    2 vine-ripened, tomatoes, stemmed, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch dice
    1/2 cup diced red onion
    1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
    3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves
    1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh mint leaves
    1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
    Directions
    Soak the ears of corn (in their husks) in a deep bowl filled with cold water for 1 hour, placing a plate or other heavy waterproof item on top of the corn to keep the ears submerged.

    Preheat a grill to medium. Lay the corn on the grill and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, turning frequently, until the outer leaves are blackened. Grill the jalapenos for 5 to 6 minutes, turning periodically. Remove the corn and jalapenos from the grill and set aside to cool.

    Once the corn is cool, remove the husks and silk and discard. Cut the kernels off of the cobs and place in a large bowl. Stem, seed and finely chop the jalapenos and add to the bowl with the corn, along with the tomatoes, red onions, garlic, cilantro, mint, lime juice, olive oil and salt. Stir well to combine.
