Christmas BBMs. ...aka Baileys Biscotti Milkshakes!
Believe me when I say, these are the most decadent, delicious, naughty little cocktails you'll ever make. Perfect for a snuggly night in by the fire, or a great new desert for your dinner party. We'll be serving ours along side Christmas pudding this year, for those of us who don't like the traditional brandy soaked affair (me). To make 4 BBMs, you'll need: 6 scoops of good quality vanilla ice-cream, 10 (25mls) shots of Baileys gorgeous new Biscotti flavour, 5 ice cubes (or just a handful), 1 glass of milk, 1 can of whipped cream, Good quality chocolate for grating. 10 shots sounds like a lot, but remember it's split between 4 people and a standard measure of Baileys in the pub is 50mls.
Scoop all of your ingredients (other than the chocolate) into a blender and give it a good blitz! When it's well & truly blended, pour your shakes into 4 tall glasses. Top with whipped cream & shave some chocolate over the top, using a grater or even a peeler. Happy slurping! Fat Free Shrimp Salsa. This is one of my all time favourite dips.
Whenever the girls come over for a movie session it's first on their list of requests (the second is anything featuring Ryan Gosling, but come on... he is a dream boat). It's jam packed with flavour, but only has around 100 calories per serving. The boys love it too because it's salty, spicy & tastes like something you'd have on a beach in Mexico. (The salsa, not Gosling.) I serve mine with salted tortilla chips, margaritas & frosty Corona beers.
To make enough for 4 people, you'll need: 300grams (12oz) Cooked & peeled king prawns, About 25 Fresh, plump cherry tomatoes, 1 Red onion, 3 heaped tbsp Jalapenos (or more if you like it firey), 1 handful Fresh coriander (cilantro), Juice of 1 1/2 limes Sprinkle of rock salt Ok, now the directions for this recipe are pretty complex, so brace yourself...
Great for a drinks party, nibbles before dinner or just a night in with a movie. Elote (Mexican Corn) Living in the southwest taught me to really appreciate Mexican food.
So many tasty dishes, prepared with fresh ingredients. One of my last weeeknd getaways before moving back to Toronto was to Sedona Arizona, the land of red rock . And home of Elote Cafe, a southwestern restaurant serving up classic Mexican with a twist. No reservations + delicious food = 3.5 hour wait. Luckily the bar was open and they gave away free spicy popcorn. Elote is a mexican street food where the corn on the cob is slathered in mayo, and seasoned with some variation of lime, chili, cheese. The base of this dip is mayo – a condiment that, generally speaking, grosses me out. Nothing beats sweet fresh summer corn but in the cold winter months, canned or frozen corn kernals will do just fine. What I love about this dish is that you just throw the ingredients in a pan and warm everything up.
