Quick Craving Fix


Grasshopper pie in a glass... Mmmmm Mmmmmmmm Good!


I have been craving grasshopper pie for weeks. I couldn't tell you why, but it just sounded really good. But I couldn't make a whole pie - I'd be the only one eating it. So I decided to make it into a drink. One glass to take care of my craving.

So I grabbed the ice cream, creme de menthe, and creme de cacao along with my little blender. Had I not been taking pictures I would've had it in the glass I blended it in... since I was - well I tried to make it look a little nicer :)

Since my ice cream scoop was recently broken and has yet to be replaced, I scooped it out with a spoon. As a result, I understand that the measurements may be slightly off. I'd say two scoops with my spoon were probably close to one big scoop with an ice cream scoop.

I took 7 scoops of french vanilla ice cream and added one shot of each in my blender cup and let it blend until smooth. Poured it into a martini glass and topped it with some chocolate shavings - had to add chocolate to mirror the chocolate crust some how. There wasn't as much of the chocolate - but it was still yummy!





Quick, easy, and took care of my craving perfectly!

    I think of Mom's grasshoper pie, which I haven't had since we were kids. This looks so good!

      Thanks :) That's what I was craving. Haven't had it in years - but it sounded so good.

A Quinoa Experiment

Image
I've had a bag of red quinoa in my pantry for a long time. I originally got it to be part of a recipe that sounded good, but I didn't find all the ingredients at the time. I never really went back out to search and the quinoa just sat in the pantry. So finally I decided to make some and try something with it. And well, I'm going to pat myself on the back a little, this was one experiment I really liked! It came out so good that a few days later, I did made it again :) However, as a result, I honestly didn't take many pictures. Sorry about that. So here's the yummy red quinoa veggie salad... I didn't cook the quinoa exactly as the package said too - but you could and have it totally cold. Trust me, this is one dish that's yummy warm or cold :) I'm going to write it the way I made it though... not necessarily the way it should've been cooked.

Crock-Pot Salmon?

Image
I don't know about you, but I love my crock-pot! The ease of tossing things together, walking away, and coming back to some yummy food is wonderful! I honestly have yet to make something that hasn't come out good from the crock-pot! It's not always as pretty, but is sure is tasty! I was recently looking through a blog where a gal used her crock-pot every day for a whole year! I found lots of yummy ideas on her site, but the one that I just couldn't wait to try was salmon. Fish - from the crock-pot? This was unheard of for me... would it really taste good? Would it dry out? It was certainly worth a shot! She had done Salmon 5 different ways - with green beans  in January,  sweet and spicy  in March, lemon and dill in May,  Jamaican  in July, and cedar planked in December. I must admit, I still want to try the cedar plank as that sounds interesting to me. However, my inspiration for this one came from the sweet and spicy and the Jamaican one. They were both...

Cooling Down Part 1

Image
I must admit, ever since I did the Peach Tea post I've been thinking of other summer drinks. So over the  past week I've been having fun with some cool drinks. Tea came first to mind, understandably after the last one :) But I did take the time to get at least a little more creative with most of the drinks... the first one though was very similar to the  Peach Tea  - but it's not sun tea or peach so I did grow a little :) Generally I am all about water in all honesty. It's my go to drink of choice and I honestly do enjoy a good tall glass of water. I'll drink it hot - and I mean like hot tea water without the tea :) Or room temperature... sometimes iced, but in all honesty iced is usually my least favorite. I don't know what it is about it - but I like water. However, that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy other drinks to get my daily dose of liquids - sometimes a little flavor is pretty nice :) The tricky part is not getting too  much sugar - and yes, ...
