Strawberry Margarita Jello Shooters As many of you know, my Lemon Drop Jell-O Shooters are my issued dish from my girlfriend who holds the annual tailgate kickoff amongst our friends. This year with Matt being in the hospital, I sent them forward to the gathering in our absence. Now that we can finally make the next one in two weeks, she has again requested Jell-O shooters. That being the case, I opted to try what you see here. Besides how cute and fun are these?

Unfettered F-U-N . . . Rainbow Jelly Shooter! Rainbow Jelly Shooter Its been a whirlwind at the test kitchen. The book is progressing (crossing fingers that it is going to press in early December!), we have been working on a little something (three little somethings, actually) for Saveur.com, and about a million more actions items cropping up here and there, many of which have not received appropriate attention and are currently housed in a bin marked "anxiety provoking". One of the highlights of our week was a lovely chat with Erin over at Tablespoon.com, who mentioned that they were hosting a Double Rainbow Week, which sounded like such fun! So, when the weekend rolled around, rather than trolling cocktail books for jelly shot inspiration, we decided it was high time for a bit of unfettered f-u-n . . . I love the "rainbow" gelatin technique - borrowed from the popular recipe for kids' finger gelatin. Cheers, Michelle Rainbow Jelly Shooter Suggested pan: 9" x 13" cake pan, or molds Yield: about 45 jelly shots Red Layer Yellow Layer
Jingle Juice [Spice Up Your Holidays - Week 3] Last night, I had my Spice Up Your Holidays get together. This time of year is really crazy, and I have been traveling a ton so I wanted to do something small, relaxed, and serve things that I could make ahead of time so that I could actually enjoy my guests and not get stressed out about it. I love having a big and festive party, but I also really love having something laid back and cozy. For the drink portion of the contest, I wanted to make a rum punch. I was looking around for a great punch recipe, and could not find one that had everything that I wanted in it. So, I took the things that I liked about a few recipes and made my own version. Think of this as a citrus sangria. Citrus Sugar: 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 teaspoon lemon zest 1 teaspoon lime zest 1 teaspoon grapefruit zest 1 teaspoon orange zest 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Punch: This is a terrible iPhone picture of an ice ring that I started the night before. Peel the skins off of the fruit and juice. Ingredients
Fancy Watermelon Lime Jello Shots I made these for our New Years Eve Party (with left over oranges and cherry jello we had in the pantry) and they were a huge hit. Who doesn't love jello shots? Brings me right back to college. Unfortunately dixie cups don't exactly look elegant alongside fancy cheese plates and party napkins. Not to mention the pink or blue stain on your finger all night from extracting. Here is your solution! *10 limes, *one box watermelon (or any kind of red color) jello * 1 cup vodka *1 cup boiling water - 10 limes makes 40 jello shots - 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Someone Left The Cake Out In The Rain Homemade Steak Sauce Growing up my friends would often joke around when they opened my parent’s refrigerator because it was jam packed with condiments. No kidding. There were four different ketchup, nine different kinds of mustard, and an array of so many other sauces. So this past weekend, I used up a lot of my leeks from my garden with some potatoes, and it was screaming at me to pair them up with a nice, grilled steak. Ingredients: 2 cups of ketchup3 cloves of garlic, minced1/2 cup of red onion, chopped2 tbsp dijon mustard1/2 cup of lemon juice1/2 cup of water1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce1/4 cup of white vinegar1/4 cup of soy sauce1/4 cup of light brown sugar1/2 tsp cracked black pepper That’s it. Be careful here as when you add any hot mixture to a blender and cover, it creates an enormous amount of pressure, so once you place on the lid, cover with a towel and hold down, pulsing down into a nice puree. I call it a steak sauce, but lately, this sauce is going great with pretty much everything.
Star Spangled Jello Shooters… Cheers to America! | Grin and Bake It! Jello is one of those all American desserts that has been around forever. Don’t we all have fond Jello salad memories? The origin of Jello dates back to 1845 when Peter Cooper patented a product set with gelatine. In 1897 Pearle Wait expanded on the idea, with the hope of marketing it. His wife named the product, Jello. What a better way to celebrate the birth of our country with Jello… Jello shooters to be exact. Bring these to your Fourth of July celebration, and I can almost guarantee you that these will be a hit with the grown-ups at the party. Kids love Jello. Patriotic jello stars infused with vodka are not for kids.Patriotic vodka stars should be out of reach of children. How to make Patriotic Jello Shooters: Purchase a star mold. Jello Star Shooter Recipe 3/4 cup boiling water 1 envelope Knox Gelatine, 1 ounce 6 tbsp. blue jello* 1/2 cup raspberry vodka* Boil water and stir in knox gelatine, jello powder, and vodka. *I used homemade infused raspberry vodka.

Lemon Drop Jello Shots These Lemon Drop Jello Shots were a huge success at our football tailgate this weekend. Everyone was so surprised at the presentation and how great they tasted. So, as promised here's the info for how to make these fun little treats. Lemon Drop Jello Shots - 8 large lemons - 2 packages lemon Jello (3 oz each) - 1 cup boiling water - 1 cup citrus vodka - 1/2 cup lemon juice - 1/2 cup ice cold water Cut the lemons in half lengthwise. Prepare the Jello mixture by mixing 1 cup of boiling water with two packages of lemon Jello. Pour the Jello mixture into each lemon half so that they are completely full. Once the Jello is firm, and you're ready to serve, cut each half into three slices. This recipe can also be modified to use with any other citrus fruit like oranges or limes. source: savory reviews
Strawberry Lemonade Recipe | The Family Kitchen Nothing says spring or summer like a tall glass of lemonade. It’s refreshing, delicious and so very good on it’s own, simple and uncomplicated. But every once in a while, I like to change it up. Strawberry Lemonade Recipe Ingredients 6 lemons, juiced 1 pint strawberries 2 cups water 1/2 cup sugar 2 cups water Method 1. 2. Makes 2 quarts. Leanne bakes: Glazed and Cinnamon Sugar-Coated Donuts Tim Horton's is dead to me. A few months ago my cousin had a fiesta-themed baby shower, and we got to make some really delicious desserts. One was lime cupcakes, which were great, but the other was churros. I love fried food, and I love churros. They remind me of Disneyland, of the PNE, of fun childhood summers where you get to eat those iconic fair foods in context. And sure, context is everything, but why not bring the fun home? Although the churro-making experience was really fun, and the end result amazing, we didn't properly ventilate the kitchen and the smell haunted me for days. I was going to tell you how surprisingly easy these are to make, but apparently my definition of "easy to make" is eye-roll inducing, so I'll just tell you they aren't so scary after all, and encourage you to give them a try. On that note, thank you everyone for your lovely emails, comments, and recipes. 3 tbsp milk 3 tbsp boiling water 1 tsp dry active yeast 1 1/2 oz sugar (about 3 tablespoons) 1 egg
