Butter Beer!

I found this recipe on the internet but I don't remember the source. It's a good drink for chilly winter evenings, but SPOILER ALERT! you'll get fat.

2 tablespoons of butter (yeah, Julia Child would be proud)
2 tablespoons on brown sugar
A mugful of milk
Cinnamon and nutmeg

Melt the butter and the brown sugar over medium heat in a little saucepan. You want to stir continuously so it doesn't stick or burn and let it meld so close together that it's nearly caramelized.
Add in the milk and let it simmer.
Stir in a dash of cinnamon and a little nutmeg for flavor.
If you're feeling daring and heathenish, this is also really good with a half a shot of rum thrown in.

So you're literally drinking butter, sugar, and milk. It's like a cookie in a cup, so beware.

Warning! Diet ruining recipe!

I could not figure out what I wanted for a snack this afternoon! I wanted chocolate but the only kind we had was hot chocolate, I wanted peanut butter but all we had was plain old peanut butter! The only thing I could do was combine them and drink it up!

Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate!
Single serving

1 cup Milk
1 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp Peanut butter
3 heaping Tbsp Favorite Hot Chocolate

In a small sauce pan pour milk and heat on medium low, when it gets warm put in reamaining ingredients. Stir continually until well mixed. Continue to heat for 2-3 minutes being careful not to boil. Remove from heat, pour into a mug. Gently lift to your lips and blow a couple times. Drink!

Let me know what you think!

Tropical Fruit Punch

So, Selissa's post prompted me to share this yummy recipe that we had at my daughter's birthday party. It's been a hit everytime I've done it... (okay, I've only done it twice, but whatever...)

Ingredients:

1 (40-ounce) can pineapple juice
1 (32-ounce) bottle lemon-lime soda (The recipe actually calls for sugar free, however mine wasn't and it tasted good too.)
1 (6-ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
1 (16-ounce) package frozen peaches
1 (12-ounce) package frozen raspberries
2 bananas, peeled and sliced
2 oranges, sliced (I didn't actually use oranges... if anyone does it with oranges, let me know how it tastes.)

Combine all ingredients in a punch bowl, and stir. Enjoy!

Oh, side note... if the punch starts to get warm, add more frozen fruit!

Water Punch!

I hosted a Bridal Shower last night for my Sister-in-law and the punch that was served was absolutely delish! As well as extremely easy! The recipe came from an adorable Kitchen store here in Logan, UT!

Water Punch

1 Tbsp Citric Acid
1 Tbsp Lemon Extract
2 Cups Sugar
5 quarts Water

Mix and refrigerate
Serve with Ice
Lemon or LIme slices add color. We used Orange slices because one of the wedding colors is orange.

Enjoy!
