It was nice having three very different dipping sauces for the fries. I had never used Wasabi powder for cooking before and it is really good. Not sure which one of the three was the biggest favorite, I think they were all well liked. These sauces would be good for a lot of different appetizer type foods. Wonderful with the fries! Thanks Paula! Enjoy!
Hamburgers are the quintessential summer food and Paula knows how to make them yummy! The thing that makes these so good is the "liquid smoke" ingredient and the "Hickory Smoke" barbecue sauce that was mixed into the lean ground chuck. I bought 92% lean ground chuck which made the burgers a bit more healthy. The recipe for these burgers was that you make thin 4 inch patties and cut a slice of sharp cheddar cheese into four little pieces which you place on top of a patty and then take another patty and put it on top and then seal the edges so the cheese doesn't come out while you are grilling them. I used premium Italian Crustini rolls for the buns. The burgers were fantastic! The fresh tomato, lettuce, reserved bacon slices and caramelized onions just put these burgers way over the top! A sure summer grill-out favorite! Thanks Paula. Enjoy!
Who doesn't like a great caramelized onion? These were so easy to prepare, all you do is cut a large sweet onion (I used a Texas sweet onion) into thin slices and put the whole onion into a large skillet with about 3 tablespoons of butter and saute them until tender and slightly golden brown. You could use the onions for a side dish or eat them on whatever you would like, we used them on the burgers! Delicious! Enjoy
Another delicious tea! I had to change it to red raspberry tea because I could not find the blackberry syrup at any grocery in town. It was wonderful with the flavor I used but still looking and we will try the blackberry when found. The lemon juice gave the drink an added flavor. Summer days are here and any of the teas we have tried will be a added touch to you family or entertaining meals. We keep a few in our refrigerator at all times to enjoy throughout the day. Thanks Paula!
Want the best sweet tea you will ever taste then try this recipe. My daughter and I love flavored teas. We buy fruit syrup to add to our tea at home and order it when out to dinner. This tea has a fresh fruit flavor that beats the best syrup. I used strawberries for the tea. After the sugar, water, and fruit boil to a syrup I used the strained fruit as a preserve on our biscuits. Two for the price of one recipe. We loved the tea so much that I made mango tea this week, Mango's are my daughter's favorite fruit. It was just as good. We can't wait for peach season. If you have a Trader Joe close try their organic mango's and strawberries. I used their sweetened and unsweetened black tea. A simple way to great tea. Michael and Mike enjoyed the tea as much as we did. Thanks Paula!
If you want a great dessert that everyone will enjoy this is it! Wow, it was so good and easy to make. The shortbread was very easy (the only time this took was for the cakes to cool) but the lemon cream was easy and the fruit (fresh blueberries, raspberries and strawberries) were easy, mixed with a little sugar, the combination of the three was wonderful and rather light, so you won't mind having two helpings. The presentation will impress as well. This one is a sure winner! Thanks Paula! Enjoy!
