12/30/2019 0 Comments New Year's Eve Champagne Jello Shots2020 is finally here! I am so ready to leave behind 2019. For New Year's Eve we are hosting a couple friends, and I wanted the perfect champagne drink recipe for ourselves and friends to enjoy. Because lets be honest... who does not love champagne?! Being a busy Mom, I needed something that was going to be quick, easy, and delicious. Now, I have not made Jello shots in FOREVER but I thought that champagne could surely be delicious in a Jello shot form. So I set to work. I did not necessarily want just plain champagne jello shots, so I decided to mix them up a bit and test out some different recipes. I used frozen fruit at the bottom of mine (mixed berry medley with raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries), but you can also use fresh fruit. Note: be careful with the frozen because too big of a piece of fruit and the jello will start to form. In select cups I also put a splash of orange or cranberry juice into the cups for additional flavor/sweetness. If using flavored vodka, you may not need that though. I let them sit for a few hours, dusted them with some glitter, and you bet your bottom dollar, I tried one this morning when I woke up. It was hard to only take one, because they are DELICIOUS!!! Number of Jello Shots: about 16
Ingredients: 2- .25 ounce packets of plain gelatin (.5 ounces total) 1 cup sparkling white grape juice or cider 3/4 cup champagne- I used brut champagne but you can sweeten it up with spumante or prosecco 1/4 cup vodka- plain or flavored gold/silver/white sanding sugar for garnish fresh or frozen fruit Optional: orange and/or cranberry juice Additional Products: Mini Cups with Lids Instructions: 1. Put 1 cup of sparkling white grape juice or cider into a small pan and heat to a boil. Pour gelatin packets into a medium heatproof bowl. Pour boiled juice or cider over gelatin and whisk until completely dissolved. Let mixture cool to room temperature. Note: Pour juice or cider into bowl with gelatin slowly otherwise it will foam 2. Mix in vodka and champagne Note: Pour vodka and champagne slowly as it will again cause a foam on top 3. Place frozen fruit into bottom of cups. Pour champagne- gelatin mixture over fruit. Chill for 3-4 hours. Note: I used one type of fruit per cup. Here is where I added an additional splash of orange juice or cranberry juice into select cups for additional flavor/sweetness 4. Take jello shots out of fridge and sprinkle sanding sugar on top for garnish. Continue to chill for another 3-4 hours or until set. Wishing you all a happy and healthy New Year! Drink responsibly and always be SAFE!!!

Enjoy!!! 12/23/2019 0 Comments CHEESY CHICKEN HASHBROWN BAKEAs a busy Mom, I am always looking for quick and easy recipes that will be both kid friendly, and adult friendly. I used to make about three different meals for one meal to fit the needs of each person in my family, and I finally decided enough was enough. I try to make them as healthy as I can, but my philosophy is; if it hits at least 3 of the food groups, then that is good enough for me! Plus I can always make sides to help hit the other food groups that were missed. I love making this cheesy chicken hashbrown bake because it is super simple, and you can play around with the recipe a little bit to your liking. I make it with chicken, but it can also be made with pork chops. Follow along for a quick and easy dinner that everyone will enjoy! My husband has actually said that I made this dish everyday for the rest of his life, he would be perfectly content! Prep: 15 min. Cook Time: 45-50 min. Total Time: 55-60 min. Ingredients: * 1 lb chicken breast thin sliced (or pork chops) *1 package of hashbrown patties * 1(10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup (can also use cream of chicken or cream of mushroom) * 1/2 onion diced *1 tbsp olive oil *1/2 cup of milk * 1 cup sour cream * 1 1/2 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese * Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Powder to your tasting Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). 2. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste 3. In a large skillet preheat 1tbsp olive oil over medium/high heat. Brown chicken on both sides (approximately 3-5 minutes on each side). Set aside. 4. In a 13x9 inch baking dish, place hash brown patties on the bottom of the pan side by side (you may have to break a few in half to cover some of the sides), and add diced onion over top. 5. In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, soup, and milk. (For 1/2 cup of milk, fill the empty soup can half way- saves time and dishes ;)) Pour mixture over top of hash brown/onion. Sprinkle cheese over the top (You can use more or less, but just make sure it is covered). Place browned chicken on top of cheese. 6. Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the potatoes are heated through and the chicken is fully cooked. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving. |
