UpDate Those Spices and Create Your Own

From my personal experience, chili powder, cinnamon, and even basil can lose their potency only after a few months! Just like all other food items, spices expire, altho you won't get sick from expired spices but you will notice they lose there colors/flavor and potency. The easiest way to do this is to shop DOLLAR TREE as they have a good selection of spices. They carry a wide variety of $1 spices to help you restock. They have everything from your basic spices like salt, pepper, basil, garlic, and chili powder to your more exotic and seasonal spices such as pink Himalayan salt, rosemary, and even pumpkin spice plus it won't cost you a fortune to refresh your spices once in awhile. The DOLLARSTORE/BLOG has some DIY Spice Blends along with suggestions for organizing your spices.

Taco Seasoning: 3 tablespoons chili powder 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder 3/4 teaspoon onion powder 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon paprika 1 tablespoon cumin 2 teaspoons regular salt or sea salt 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes Whisk together and store in airtight container.  This makes about 1/2 cup.

We started with boneless skinless chicken breasts and simmered it in the broth to cook through. (It only takes 10 minutes.) But if you have leftover rotisserie chicken, feel free to use that instead!  Chickpeas or pinto beans can replace the white beans.  Monterey jack is delicious, but so is cotija and even sharp cheddar.

Rice Krispies Peanut Butter Pumpkins

Halloween Rice Krispies Treat For The Kids To Create and Enjoy! Ingredients 6 cups Rice Krispies 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 10 ounces mini Marshmallows 1/2 cup creamy Peanut Butter 1/4 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice 12 drops red food coloring , may vary depending type 4 drops yellow food coloring , may vary depending type 12 Tootsie Roll Midgees or Pretzel Sticks Optional - Frosting Colors for Decorating Instructions In a medium sauce pan melt butter and peanut butter over medium heat for 3 minutes stirring with a wooden spoon. Add marshmallows and food coloring. Continue to stir until marshmallows are melted and sticky like glue. A wooden spoon is important here because the mixture will stick less to this surface. Remove from heat and stir in Rice Krispies cereal. Blend well. Although I highly recommend wearing powder-free latex gloves, you can also use wax paper to mold the warm mixture into round balls. Push a tootsie roll into the top for the stem. The heat from the pumpkin will create a malleable material so the tootsie roll can be gently bent. Ridges in the tootsie roll create a natural and woody effect. Allow pumpkins to cool completely, then decorate with frosting for stem leaf and face designs if desired. Thanks For Visiting

Orangesicle Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Image Source: TIP:  Purchase a rectangle-shaped package of ice cream for the easiest cutting. I personally love the Pillsbury Ornage flavoring or you can use the Duncan Hines orange cake mix also. the following recipe will create square cookie sandwiches...  or you can create the ones in the pic also ... just adjust step 3 Ingredients: 1 box  Pillsbury Orangesicle Cake Mix 1/4 cup shortening 1/4 cup butter, softened 1 large Egg Vanilla Ice Cream, softened (2 tablespoons per sandwich) Instructions: 1 - Position an oven rack in the center and preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them. 2 - In a large bowl, beat together the dry cake mix, shortening, butter, and eggs with an electric mixer on medium-low speed until well blended, about 1 minute. 3- Between waxed paper, roll one part into a 10x6-in. rectangle. Remove one piece of waxed paper and invert dough onto a ungreased baking sheet. Score the dough into eight square pieces, each 3x2-1/2 in. Repeat with remaining dough 4 - Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until puffed. 5 - Remove from the oven and cool on the cookie sheets for 1 minute before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookie dough, being sure that cookie sheets are cool before using them again. Assembly: Place 2 cookies for each ice cream sandwich you want to make in the freezer to harden. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften. Turn one cookie over and place one to two little scoops of the ice cream (about 2 tablespoonfuls) onto the bottom of the cookie. Place another cookie (right-side-up) on top of the ice cream and squeeze them together a bit to push the ice cream to the edges. Eat immediately or wrap in plastic wrap and place in freezer bag to enjoy later. Thanks For Visiting
