Strawberry & Applemint Margarita

Published by

I had a container of frozen strawberries taking up a lot of room in my ridiculously minuscule freezer last week and I knew something had to be done about it. In comes the margarita cavalry! This one is pumped up with a bit of applemint simple syrup and some lime juice. They are amazing, not watered down with ice and not too sweet. Try them out while it’s hot enough to melt payment. Ingredients for the simple syrup 1 cup water 1 cup sugar 5-6 springs or large leaves of applemint Ingredients for the margarita  3 cups frozen strawberries 1 cup of simple syrup flavored with applemint 1 cup tequila of your choice lime of one lime salt for rims suggested but not necessary Directions: For the simple syrup: heat the water to a boil and add the sugar and applemint until the sugar is completely dissolved and applemint flavors the water. Add all the ingredients into the blender and blend until frosty like. Put some lime juice around the rim of your glass and dip …

Banana & Nutella “Ice Cream”

Published by

You know already I’m trying to trick you, right? This recipe has been woven into the fabric that is Pinterest and has been around for a while. So you probably already know that people are whipping their frozen bananas into an ice cream like dessert. I tried it once last year in my blender to no avail, I could not get that damn banana to turn into ice cream. It was actually just not pleasant, it just tasted like icy banana. The consistency was all wrong. This year I persevered since I got a new food processor…and VICTORY! The consistency was much better and I was really reminded of banana ice cream. You can take this basic recipe and create any new flavors you want. It’s really versatile. As a tried and true ice cream lover I will tell you honestly that it doesn’t taste exactly like ice cream, but it is really delicious in its own right and much healthier for you. So give it a whirl and see what you can do. Summer …

|Honeydew + Kiwi| Frozen Margarita

Published by

I have the best friends. For no reason other than he had a spare one, I was presented with a brand new Tefal Mastermix with a 2 liter pitcher from my friend, Phil. He graciously donated it to my kitchen and me and the kitchen are so grateful. To celebrate the arrival of the new piece of equipment, I decided to bust its cherry making some margaritas. I am sure I made the right choice. They were delicious in every way. Ingredients 2 cups of honeydew, cubed 2 kiwis, cubed 2 tablespoons sweetener (I used organic maple syrup) 3/4 cup of tequila 1/4 cup lime juice 2 trays of ice cubes Directions Fill the blender pitcher with honeydew, kiwi, sweetener,  tequila and lime juice. Pulse until thoroughly blended. Add ice, a tray at a time and blend until its a perfect frozen treat. Pour into a glass. You can salt the rim if that’s your thing…I personally don’t like it because it always seems to get on my fingers and hair…ewww. NOTE: My honeydew was incredibly sweet. …
