Halloween might be over, but there is still time to get in some fun fall activities! We thought this week we would share a easy cocktail recipe that is delicious and perfect for the fall weather!
Ingredients: 3 oz of vodka 6 oz spiced apple cider 2 oz ginger beer So basically you just combine all the Ingredients together and give it a nice mix! We recommend heating the cider first to a good drinking temperature before adding the ginger beer and vodka (preferably room temp) in order to not dilute the alcohol. Pour it into a cooper cup if you have it, or cute mug and garnish with a cinnamon stick or thin apple slice! This recipe makes two drinks, so feel free to cut it in half or double it based on how many people you plan to serve! Also note that If you're having trouble finding pre-spiced apple cider you can purchase regular apple cider and buy spiced apple cider mix to add! We LOVE Thanksgiving! The food, the family together time (in normal years), and the traditions over the Thanksgiving weekend are always so fun. This year is going to be different than most years because of the pandemic, but that doesn't mean we won't get to have delicious food! Since it's unlikely we will be able to do many activities together in person this year, we wanted to do a new original recipes collection for Thanksgiving! Our first one in this set is on mashed potatoes!
Let us know in the comments if you try out this recipe or what your take on mashed potatoes is! Servings: 4-5 (we love mashed potatoes, so this may actually feed more people) Time: depends on how long the potatoes take to cook, at least 30 minutes plan for Ingredients: 4-5 large potatoes 5-6 tablespoons of butter 1-2 teaspoons of chicken bouillon powder (can replace with salt to make it vegetarian) 2-3 teaspoons of garlic powder 2-3 teaspoons of onion powder 2-3 teaspoons of parsley flakes 1-2 cups of six cheese italian blend cheese or sharp or mild cheddar cheese (we prefer more cheese, but you can do less) Milk as needed (if you like thicker potatoes use less milk, if you like thinner potatoes add more milk, add milk until it's the consistency you like)(any milk works, we typically use 2%) OPTIONAL: 1/4-1/2 cup of cream cheese (makes it creamier, you can barely taste it) OPTIONAL: 1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon OPTIONAL: large dollop of sour cream Directions: 1. wash potatoes and then poke holes in them all over with a fork. Put in microwave and press potato button OR boil a pot of water and cook potatoes for 15 minutes or until potatoes are soft. (should be able to put fork in it and potato falls off of fork, if it sticks it's not done yet) 2. Once the potatoes are completely soft, peel the skin off of them (will be hot, let it cool down for at least 15 minutes first) 3. Put the peeled potatoes into a large bowl or back in the pot and mash them up with a potato masher or a fork. 4. add in butter, milk, onion powder, chicken bouillon powder, garlic powder, cheese, and parsley flakes until mixed completely 5. Finish off with adding in the cream cheese until completely incorporated 6. Put mashed potatoes in microwave safe bowl and microwave until desired temperature or if already in the pot heat back up the pot until potatoes are at desired temperature. Make sure to stir frequently if it's in the pot or the potatoes will burn 7. OPTIONAL: right before serving, top with crumbled cooked bacon, sour cream, and/or more shredded cheese!! 8. Enjoy! |
Both of us really love to cook, and we each have come up with some pretty good recipes. We will share them here!
