Punch and fun ice cubes
I really enjoy the punch that's served at every shower, but when you use colored sorbet it turns it into a nasty looking punch. I decided it would be great to use as a Halloween cocktail and name it Bug and Spider ice served in Swamp Water Punch. I also played with...
Tiramisu Dip
Today's recipe is more of a treat then a trick. If I had to pick one of my favorite desserts I would have to say tiramisu. I hate to order it when we go out to dinner, because it's really hard to find a good one. If you make it at home there's a lot of waiting and it...
Brain Hemorrhage and Tootsie Roll shots
You always hear on the shows where they're throwing a party and they want their own "signature cocktail". Well I thought it would be fun for a cocktail to welcome guest that goes along with the theme of the party. I did a search online for some creepy cocktails and...
Yummy Intestines
So glad to see ya'll like the candy apples! They are a huge hit in my house so I love passing along great ideas that work well for us. Today's spooky recipe is one I saw online last year and ran out of time to make so I put it in my file to try this year. She stuffed...
Tribute to Halloween
I don't know about you, but Halloween is my favorite holiday. I'm scared to death of the haunted houses and I don't go nor do I watch super scary movies, but I still love the dressing up part, the decorations and of course hosting fabulous parties. So in tribute to...
Liquid Chocolate Goodness
First off WELCOME FALL!!! Woohoo cold front rolled in dropping the temps down to low 70's for the weekend. I've been dieing to try this recipe for a spiked hot chocolate while I'm curled up with my hubby by the fire and it's about time I get to enjoy it. The liquor...
King Ranch Chicken Casserole
I've held off posting this recipe because I never got a final shot of the dish. I made it for my hubby to take to work for lunches and then thought darn it how am I gonna get a final beauty shot when I don't have it here. Oh well, I do plan on making it again so when...
Lamb Lollipops
Another Sunday Steak Night twist. We tried cooking lamb for the first time. I'm always interested in trying to cook new things and branch out, it's part of the inspiration I get when walking in the grocery store and watching cooking shows. As usual I print recipes...
Nutty Java Mudslides
I thought that today I would make a cocktail that's icy cold since that's the only coldness in the area. It's Fall and supposed to be starting to cool off. In Texas NO, we're getting warm fronts! What's that all about? Looks like I'll have to sit on the patio watching...
Back in the groove of things
It's nice to be back home and back on a regular schedule. I've been busting my hind end last week getting all my recipes tested and made for last Saturday to travel to Winnie, Texas for the State Rice Festival cook-off. A special thank you to my husband who took...
No-Bake Grasshopper Pie
I had some guest over for dinner early last week and made a heavy meal so I wanted something light for dessert. I've been wanting to try this pie I saw in Family Circle, but I changed it up a little. Instead of making a pie crust I just stood up a cookie in the...
