LAYERED DRINKS



Directions:

Choose 2-3 drinks with different sugar contents for the layers (for example: 30 g sugar, 15 g sugar, 0 g sugar). Now fill your cup with ice all the way to the top. Pour the drink with the highest sugar content into the cup, filling it approximately one third full. For the second layer, pour the second drink with the lower sugar content slowly through the ice to fill approximately the second third of the glass full. Finally, pour the sugar-free or lowest sugar drink slowly through the ice until you’ve reached the top of the glass. Enjoy!

Blackberry Pie In a Jar

I found this on Blackbrry Cottage and thought it was such a cute idea.  I hope it is ok to share.

I put a package of Shortbread with Pecans cookies in the food processor until they were coarsely ground. I then added a touch of cinnamon, and a bit of butter to hold the crumbs together. Using the larger wide mouth canning jars, I pressed the cookie crumbs into the bottoms and baked them for about 10 minutes.

While they were still warm, I added a layer of Blackberry Jam to the

cookie crust base.

Next I topped them with another layer of the cookie crumbs, and a layer of peach preserves. On top of the peach preserves, I added a round piece of pastry dough with a small cut out to release steam. I used refrigerated pie crust dough.

Then back in the oven for about 20 minutes until they were bubbling and the top crust was brown.

Lettuce Wraps

Grill 2 or 3 Chicken Breasts

(The recipe said to cook them in a pan on the stove. Chicken RARELY tastes good like this. If you grill your chicken until it is cooked but NOT overcooked it is so much better on the grill. Be careful though.....you can also get DRY chicken from overcooking it on the grill.)

Chop the chicken until it looks like chicken in a lettuce wrap! Don't chop it too much or it will turn to MUSH!

Stir Fry Sauce

1/4 c. water

1 tsp. cornstarch

1/3 c. soy sauce

1/4 c. sugar

1/4 c. red wine vinegar

1 tbsp. olive oil

2 tsp. sesame seeds

1/2 to 1 tsp. red pepper flakes

1 tsp. chili oil (I got this at Fresh & Easy because it was so much cheaper there)

1/2 tsp. minced ginger

Put all ingredients in a pan except for water and cornstarch. While heating mix together water and cornstarch and then add while stirring.

In a skillet saute: 3 green onions, 2/3 cup shredded carrots (I bought them already shredded), and 1 can water chestnuts (chop) for about 5 minutes. Then add the chopped chicken and stir fry sauce and 1/4 c. sliced almonds.

Serve on head lettuce or butter lettuce.

Dipping Sauce

1/4 c. water

3/4 tsp. cornstarch

1/3 c. sugar

1/3 c. vinegar

1/4 c. soy sauce

1 tsp. minced ginger

1 tsp. olive oil

1/2 tsp. sesame seed

1/4 tsp. minced garlic

1 dash red pepper flakes

1 dash parsley

Prepare this exactly the same way as the Stir Fry Sauce.
