"EVERYBODY SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS..."

I had someone ask me once if I was an alcoholic cause I was always posting pictures of my drinks or me drinking… I said no I just don’t take pictures of myself working :-{)

Mojito (my all time favorite!)
1 shot rum (I use Bacardi gold, or black cherry rum for a black cherry mojito)
5 mint leaves
1 ½ shot of simple syrup (instructions below on how to make)
ice
sprite


put mint leave into glass, rum, and simple syrup and muddle. Add ice and sprite. Enjoy! ☺



(add a spiked cherry if making a flavored mojito)

*simple syrup*
take 1 empty water bottle and fill ¾ with sugar (OMG! That’s a lot of sugar, I know, I know it will work out in the end!!) fill the rest with hot water and shake until clear and dissolved (as can be seen beginning to happen in the picture to the right), add more hot water to fill the rest of the bottle


Ok here’s a favorite that can be used as drink topper or just eating straight out of the jar!!

74 oz jar of maraschino cherries
1/2 bottle of Cherry Vodka (your choice of cherry vodka)

Take a 74oz. jar of maraschino cherries and empty out half of the juice (3/4 if you want it stronger) and replace with cherry vodka. Allow to cool and ENJOY!!

I recently tried this one and posted the picture on facebook and have since been asked for the recipe quite a few times. So here it is. I called it the liquid thin mint cause it tastes like one ☺
Ok if you dont know what cream is it is alcohol infused whipped cream 30proof! And it comes in several flavors such as cherry, vanilla, chocolate, caramel, raspberry, and orange. (SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO  THE WINEO WEDNESDAYS CREW DAMION. SCOTT, AMBER, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST LUANA FOR GETTING ME HOOKED ON THIS STUFF!!! MUCH LOVE :)

ONKEY DONKEY!!

Heres RANDOM ROBIN'S fish recipe...
Easy Bake Fish Filets--most firm flesh white fish works!

1 lb haddock, grouper.....whatever. I use tilapia......it's cheap!
Cooking spray
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp. light mayo
1/8 tsp (each) onion and garlic powder
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1/2 C. bread crumbs
1 1/2 Tbsp. butter or margarine melted

Preheat oven to 425. Place fish in baking dish coated with cooking spray. Combine lime juice, mayo, and spiced and spread over fish. Add breadcrumbs to melted butter. Mixture will be crumbly. Spread over fish. Bake for 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork.

I am not a fish cooker. I love fish and seafood, but I can't ever seem to get it just right. This recipe, though, is so easy/peasy that it comes out beautiful everytime--with little prep-so it's great on busy nights. Since tilapia usually is a bit thin, pair it with hardy side items to help fill up any "manly" appetites, but it's just right for those watching their caloric intake or have light appetites.

KEEP 'EM COMING PEOPLE! WE'RE REALLY ENJOYING ALL THE RESPONSES!!

Somethings getting FISHY around here...

LOL We have another submitted recipe today all the way from the kitchen of DIANA!!! YAY!! Diana has provided us a recipe which I need to try asap!!! Thanks Diana keep 'em coming!!!

It doesn't get any better than coconut shrimp and beer!!! lol

Coconut Beer Shrimp with Sweet & Tangy Sauce Recipe

4 eggs
1 cup beer
3-1/2 tsp Creole seasoning (divided use) (I used Tony Chachere's, Original Creole Season)
1-1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp baking powder
48 large raw shrimp, peeled, tails on, deveined (I found them in a 2 lb bag, but had no tails, worked great)
1-1/2 to 2 cups fresh or moist-packed shredded coconut (used sweetened)
Oil for deep-frying
.
*Sweet and Tangy Sauce:
2 cups orange marmalade
1/4 cup Creole or Dijon mustard (I used HEB brand Dijon)
3 Tbsp shredded horseradish (I used Boar's Head- grated in vinegar, found near the Deli)

For the Shrimp: Combine eggs, beer, 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning, flour and baking powder.

Blend well. Season shrimp with remaining seafood seasoning.

Dip the shrimp in beer batter and roll in coconut. Fry in oil heated to 350 degrees F. in deep fryer, wok or deep saucepan. The oil should be at least 1-1/2 inches deep. Drop shrimp in a few at a time and fry until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towel. Serve with Sweet and Tangy Dipping Sauce.

*The sauce makes alot, but I think it would be great on chicken or fish.
