Shamrock Shake Cocktail

Happy Thursday and welcome to Ladies Night here at . I can't believe its March already.  Only 16 days until Saint Patricks Day.  Mr. W seems to always know when it is March, he goes crazy over these McDonald's Shamrock Shakes (well until they changed the formula).  Anyway, he and I have developed our own versions of the Shamrock Shake. This is Chad's adult version of the Shamrock shake.  I will share mine very soon! Recipe adapted from several recipes found on the web Shamrock Shake Cocktail 1 ounce Absolut vodka 2 ounces Creme de Menthe (this is where the gorgeous green color comes from) 2 scoops vanilla ice cream Combine ice cream, vodka and creme de menthe in blender.  Blend until mixture is thick and pourable.  Pour in a large glass and serve with a straw.

Southwestern Turkey Meatloaf

Happy Monday Slow Roasters!  Today is On The Lighter Side at .  I would like to share with you a new meatloaf I created. We surely love meatloaf in this house, but I get a little tired of the old bakud Meatloaf with Balsamic Glaze which happens to be Chad's kesukaane dish that I make and Munchkins kesukaane 3 Ingredient Meatloaf  so, I decided to give some new flavors a try and I developed this incredibly flavorful and delicious Southwestern Turkey Meatloaf.  It is a great low calorie option as it only has 267 calories per serving and 8 grams of fat. We love it so much I made it a 12 serving dish, so we could freeze half.  But the other half never made it to the freezer.  We ate it for 4 meals straight!  It was delicious with some spicy refried beans and some corn.  Enjoy! Southwestern Turkey Meatloaf (serves 12) 2 lbs lean turkey 2 cups seasoned bread crumbs 4 egg whites 8 ounces diced green chiles (pureed), reserve 1 tbsp 1 1/4 cup enchilada sauce, di

- A Look Back At The Week Of March 19

Hello and Happy Saturday Slow Roasters.  We had a great week here at .  We have been trying new recipes and still loving old ones.  Gardening has been exciting as we watch these little buds emerge.  I am happy to say that it looks like at least 12 of the bakteri plants are sprouting.  The tomato plants are looking good.  We have about 10 or 11 tomatoes sprouted, along with some peppers (Italian bell to habenero).  Mostly everything else is taking its time. This week we had 5 amazing recipes and incredibly mouth watering pictures to go with them.   So are you curious what everyone has been checking out all week? The Peanut Butter Cup Delight Cocktail has been out most popular post this week.  It is in insanely delicious and decadent rendition of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup in a glass.  Try one!  Trust me you won't be disappointed. Perfect Every Time Pork Roast was a great tutorial (with a recipe) about how to cook your pork loin.  Baked on a high temperature to

The Best Ever! Tex-Mex Chicken Fajitas

Happy Wednesday Slow Roasters!  It has been a fabulous week here at TSRI.  We have been gardening, cooking, eating, having family time and cooking some more.  Recently we have been cooking incredible recipes from a really cool blog. Herbie Likes Spaghetti which is written and developed by Bryan, YiRan, Herbie and Pepper.  Herbie and Pepper are the feline furbabies of Bryan and YiRan. It is really great to find blogs that are more of a team effort.  With the added benefits of an Italian inspired blog, with the cutest furbaby pictures ever they won me over.  The fabulous food really put me over the top, recipes like The Best Spaghetti all'Amatriciana which I have on the sajian for next week.  I am so excited to try this dish! Planting in my beautiful new garden! So as I was scouring delicious recipes casually perusing their blog, I must have been on a Mexican food kick.  Although I bookmarked Mario's Meatballs, Veal Scallopini Picata, and Sausage with Olive and Fenne

Lemon Roasted Vegetable Pasta

Happy Tuesday Slow Roasters and welcome to Simply Delicious!  Today I would like to share with you a new twist on an old classic kesukaane.  Apparently the Roasted Vegetable Penne Pasta is quite popular around here (twice as popular as the #2 recipe).  So, after my amazing lemon scavenger hunt with Chad this weekend I decided to work on a Lemon Roasted Vegetable Pasta for you. Do you see those beautiful lemons?  Hiding on the inside of the tree and on top of the branches!  Well, we picked that tree clean and have 3 lemon recipes this week and more next week.  I am so excited to share these with you.  We have many trees on our property.  I have Seville Orange trees, a plum tree and this lone lemon tree.  The lemon tree is my absolute kesukaane.  I do have a love of lemons (have you seen my lemon Pinterest pin board ?). The flavors are bursting from this dish; with triple the lemon flavor from roasted lemons, fresh lemon juice and lemon zest along with the nutty flavor of t

Cinco De Mayo Cocktails

Its time for our Cinco de Mayo cocktail round up !  We have had some real fun putting these drinks together for you. It has been an amazing month of tequila cocktails .  We got a great deal on Jose Cuervo Gold a while back and had bought a bottle, it was sitting at the back of the liquor cabinet when we started planning this months cocktails.  I wasn't a big tequila fan (I really do remember the saying "One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, FLOOR").  Not one to take chances as an adult I can say I haven't had it in many years (probably since college).  Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to find I reallllllly like this tequila.  We have since purchased another bottle and now have 4 FABULOUS tequila cocktails to add to the Cinco de Mayo Cocktail Round Up! Puckered JalapeƱo Frozen Margarita is the perfect cocktail. Spicy Jalapeno flavor in a cooling frozen cocktail, lemony sweet with a salted rim, served with a jalapeno. FIESTA!!! Sweet Summery Wate

Peanut Butter Fudge Chocolate Cake

CLICK HERE FOR PRINTABLE RECIPE Today we have a very special cake for you.  This Peanut Butter Fudge Chocolate Cake is incredible.  4 layers of moist chocolate cake covered in a thick rich peanut butter frosting that tastes just like peanut butter fudge.  Piped on top is a fabulous simple ganache and a sprinkling of peanuts.  I love to make cakes and it makes me happy when they are beautiful, so for this occasion I chilled the ganache and made a beautiful border on the top and bottom.  You can pour the warm ganache over the cake, if you prefer. The chocolate cake is a fantastic one bowl cake.  I even used a whisk to make it.  It doesn't get much more simple than that. So what is the occasion for such a lovely cake???  Slow Roasters, we are having a party!!!  Mary over at Barefeet In The Kitchen is celebrating her 1 year blogging anniversary today!  She is not one to toot her own horn so we are going to toot it for her.  Make sure you stop over today and check out her AMAZI

Lil Texas Barbeque Sliders

Welcome to TSRI's Summer Grilling Celebration!  We are serving up barbeque burgers today with a southwestern flair at the Slow Roasters Grill !  It is Memorial Day, we are so grateful for this day of remembrance, for those we have lost while serving our country.  To all our soldiers and military families we thank you for your service and sacrifice.   Thank you for keeping us safe and defending our constitution and our country!!  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  We would like to share a place at our table with you today. Here is a little taste of home for those currently in service.  We are enjoying some fabulous Lil Texas Barbeque Sliders.  The idea for this burger started as I was flipping through an old Food Network Magazine featuring some of Bobby Flay's creations.  I came across his Dallas Burger, a spice rubbed patty covered in bbq sauce and served with cole slaw on top. I developed a spice rub for these sliders and found a new spice; dried Chile d
