Hot White Chocolate Recipe. Raspberry and Serrano Sangría : TreeHugger - StumbleUpon. © Jaymi HeimbuchPhotos by Jaymi Heimbuch It's no secret. I ♥ the combination of berries and chili peppers, much like the salsa I made earlier this week using just that. And after receiving some jalapeño-raspberry jam from Ann's Raspberry Farm, I was inspired to make an encore.

Also, it's worth noting that Ann won a Good Food Award this year for their commitment to naturally grown food. 1 small carton of raspberries1 small carton of strawberries1 lime2 apples, granny smith and a braeburn1 serrano pepper (more if you are daring)1 bottle of Viognier1/2 cup of white grape juice1/4 cup of sugar1 can of club sodaMint leaves for garnish 1. . © Jaymi Heimbuch © Jaymi Heimbuch 2. 3. 4. 5. . © Jaymi Heimbuch 6. 7.

This morning I was looking at my home page and I realized that there is a lot of orange sweet potato and pumpkin going on. Considering the time of year I think it is very fitting. Maybe I should go red and green when Christmas comes around? Got any green and red recipes that I can try out for Christmas? In keeping with the autumn orange theme I got the idea to try a sweet potato gnocchi covered in gouda cheese sauce. The idea was to do it in a stovetop mac and cheese kind of style. I have never made a potato gnocchi before. Many moons ago I did a quick and easy ricotta gnocchi but I had never done a potato gnocchi. First and most important you need 1 pound of sweet potato. In the photos I as preparing a double recipe so that is why you see so many potatoes. Pierce the potatoes with a fork. Microwave the potato for 5-6 minutes on each side, until tender. Slice the potatoes in half and let cool. Scoop out the flesh of the potatoes and mash, you need 1 1/2 cups of mashed potato.

I’m a huge fan of the Harry Potter books and movies. I wasn’t always, but once I watched one movie, I was hooked. I was devastated when I found out Eric and I were moving away from Orlando before Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened at Universal’s Islands of Adventure. Luckily, we were able to fly back over the summer and use our season passes one last time. Even though it was incredibly hot and crowded, it was totally worth it to be able to experience a small part of the Harry Potter world. Walking through Hogsmeade was like being in another country, and I felt totally immersed in it. Butterbeer, for those who don’t know, is a favorite drink of young witches and wizards.
