ADULT WINE ICE POPS ~ NEW RECIPES AND PICTURES

-



Friday I decided to make some of the wine frozen icicles pops.  My friend Anna graduate from college on Saturday so I wanted to give her something a bit special.  Since Sophie and I were talking about them the weekend before I decided to take the leap and just make some.  

 Congratulations Anna!!!  


Making wine frozen popsicles are pretty easy.  You just split the wine half and half with a non-alcoholic drink.  Here is my post with a few other recipes and the link for doing the math to make other pops.

 I made 4 different flavors on Friday.  I allowed them to sit in the freezer overnight so I knew they were good and solid.  

 For the red wine and berry ones, I used cheap box red wine and my leftover berries from last weeks sangria.  


Red Wine and Berry 

 Ingredients
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1 cup sprite
  • mixed berries
Directions
  • Mix red wine and sprite together
  • Get out small dixie cups and place a few pieces of fruit in the cups

  • Pour the wine and sprite mixture into the cups

  • Put a small piece of aluminum foil over the top of the cups
  • Place a small slit in the middle of the aluminum foil on the cup
  • Place a popsicle stick in the slit and put them in freeze

Next, I made Strawberry Moscato.  A lot of my friends like Moscato so I thought they would really like them.  I think Sophie had one of these and really liked them.


Again I just mixed the Moscato with some sprite.  Half and half ratio.  

I put my strawberries in my blender

And liquefied them

I had a cup of juice


I mixed the sprite with the strawberries


Then I added the Moscato


Pour the mix into the dixie cups


Cover and freeze



I do not like sweet wines so I decided to make some with Pinot Grigio.

They were made the exact same way as the above ones I just used a different wine. 

Again you just mix everything together and put into cups with aluminum foil and sticks inserted.


The last ones I made were Strawberry Margarita.  I just picked up a bottle of pre-mixed margaritas and added sprite and some strawberries.

Again I just cut some strawberries and put them in the cups.


Added the margarita mix with the sprite and pour it in the cups.

Cover and freeze


Once frozen you just peel and eat!!



 I hope all my peeps enjoyed them.  FYI, I still have a few.  

 I hope everyone had a good weekend.  I know we did.

 Happy Monday.  Make it a good week and ENJOY!!

TOMATO SOUP (CANNING RECIPE)

I made this a couple of weeks back and I am finally getting around to post about it.  I always say life gets in the way and it truly does.  I stay so busy that I sometimes have a hard time finding the time to sit down and write or type a blog post.  It is not that I do not want to, it really is hard to carve out a bit of time to sit down.  Now with all that said.... We are bracing for Hurricane Florence in my neck of the woods.  Thank goodness it has been downgraded to a Cat 2 but you just never know.  I am saying all of that to say it is always good to have some stuff canned.  Oh, I know you can go to the grocery store and buy just about anything but have you given any thought to what is in that tin can you buy?  Or that frozen entree?  Think hard about what you are putting into your body.  Just last night our friend Matt stopped by and he another friend, Dusty that when he runs out of food he is coming to my house.   I have never canned tomato soup.  I really have never thoug

COPY CAT ORTEGA TACO SAUCE

Tacos, everyone loves tacos.  I mean why else do we have Taco Tuesdays?  Well, that is exactly what we had last night for dinner.  Tacos!!!  After fixing them I realized I was out of this wonderful sauce.  I normally keep a few jars canned in the basement but I used the last jar a few weeks back.   Needless to say, I needed to make more since I had the tacos already cooking.  I am so glad it is very easy to make.  Quick and simple.  I will admit though it is better if you let it sit a few days I did but not have the time for that last night.  After all, it was Taco Tuesday in the Cristina's household. Gather your spices together.  Measure out each into a small mixing bowl. Mix it all together. Add tomato sauce and apple cider vinegar. Mix together. Here is a secret ingredient that I add to make it taste yummy.  Lemon pepper seasoning.  It takes the level up a bit and makes it taste so much more like Ortega.   COPY CAT ORTEGA TAC

HOW TO MAKE CRISPY PICKLED JALAPENOS

-

I have struggled to find a recipe to make pickled jalapenos that were nice and crisp.  My pickled jalapenos were mushy and could only be used as a spice, like in chili or some Mexican dish.  I wanted my pickled jalapenos to have a crunchy bite to them.  I wanted to feel the crisp when I bit into it.  Being frugal I could not just toss them out so of course I still used them.   The last few years I have found a way to make sure they are crunchy and nicely crisp.  I use 2 products, Pickling lime and pickle crisp.  Yeah, I double do it but it works!! My jalapenos came at a lark this year.  Our friend Wade gave us some pepper plants that he had started from seed.  I think he felt sorry for us because we did not have a good turnout with our own seedlings.  We thought we were getting scotch bonnet peppers but it turned out we got 4 jalapeno pepper plants instead.  There is a joke behind planting seeds, do not drink and label your seeds.  It is funny how things turn out becau
