Lemon Roasted Vegetable Pasta

Gambar
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 juic...

Lil Texas Barbeque Sliders

Gambar
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 sli...

Cotton Candy Martini

Gambar
It's Ladies Night Slow Roasters!  Tonight we are bringing a carnival kesukaane home in an incredible cocktail.  This mouthwatering pink cotton candy martini is the perfect summer drink. The scent of the cotton candy stand at the fair can just about lift you up and carry you across the fairgrounds and deliver you to the heavenly cloud of spun sugar in pink and blue.  The mere sight of cotton candy gives me butterflies. Chad has taken a summer carnival treat; Cotton Candy, and transformed it into a martini like you have never tasted before. I have never been a big cotton candy lover,  I would eat a handful or two.  Well after the fantastic flavors that Chad came up with...  I am a Cotton Candy convert! If you missed the announcement yesterday, we are so excited to share with you that Chad and I are writing for allParenting.com.  This article and yesterdays Fully Loaded Tex Mex Turkey Slider can both be read in their entirety on the magazines we...

Gourmet Caprese Burger With Balsamic Reduction

Gambar
Summer salads are always a kegemarane at barbecues and summertime parties.  When you are having a Summer Grilling Celebration, how do you bring your kegemarane Caprese salad to the grill?  You transform it into an incredibly scrumptious gourmet burger that captures the essence of summer!  With luscious tomato, fresh basil, creamy mozzarella and sweet balsamic vinegar this burger was destined for TSRI's burger hall of fame. A perfectly grilled beef burger drizzled with a sweet balsamic reduction, served atop a layer of fresh chunky tomato sauce on a toasted ciabatta bun is enough to make your stomach growl and your taste buds swoon!  Add a slice of fresh mozzarella and a spoonful of fresh pesto mayonnaise and you may just have to pick your tongue up off the floor! This burger was made spectacular using some amazing ingredients from Fresina's Pasta Co and Italian Specialties in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  I have had this idea of turning the Caprese salad i...

Green Tickles: Kiwi Pineapple Popsicles

Gambar
Gazing out the window on a hot summer day, I find myself longing for a tropical island paradise surrounded by crystal clear turquoise waters.  Palm trees, tropical fruit, paradise.... Just then I look out my window and watch the shadows of yet another heatwave pass by, in this hellacious desert.  I developed this tropical inspired ice pop as my own mini get away.  On those long hot summer days, while my Munchkin is napping, I lay on my love seat and enjoy this unbelievable frozen treat.  Just the soothing sounds of a clicking ceiling fan as I savor every moment and allow myself to be swept away to my own little paradise.  If only for just a moment. Kiwi and pineapple combine in a sweet and tart ice pop.   My mom is a huge fan!  She really loves these popsicles.  Munchkin is really enamored with them, she calls them her "Green Tickles".  Which completely tickles me. Enjoy them, I know you will! Kiwi Pineapple Popsicles makes approx...

Simple Asian Honey Grilled Chicken With Marinade

Gambar
After enjoying the 30 Minute Sweet and Sour Pork so much, Chad surprised me by admitting that he does indeed like Asian flavors. Imagine my surprise after 9 months of Chinese food cravings and a husband that I had to drag kicking and screaming.  So, this was a great piece of news.  Immediately the wheels started turning. So, first I decided to bring it to the grill. This Simple Asian Honey Grilled Chicken with Marinade comes together so easily and makes a fabulous dinner that is a nice change of pace for us!  It is absolutely perfect served over a bed of Asian Rice (which will post this week). Chad absolutely loved it and I am sure you will too!   30 Minute Sweet and Sour Pork rivals ANY Chinese restaurant & a special ingredient to crisp pork with out frying.  This recipe is a keeper!

Lemon Almond Crinkle Cookies

Gambar
I may be in a bit of a hurry for the summer to end.  I am already in cookie baking mode.  I couldn't help myself.  I don't usually get into cookie baking until end of summer.  But Munchkin is in a hurry for Santa to come already and that makes me think of cookies.  Ok, let me back up a bit.  Yes, Munchkin is in a hurry for santa...  A few weeks ago we were at Costco.  I decided to walk through their newly placed Christmas section.  I was perusing the toys and all of a sudden she spotted a toddler size drum set.  She totally flipped with excitement.  I thought the best course of action to avoid a scene in the middle of Costco was to say "If you are a good girl maybe Santa will bring it for Christmas". So, last week she was standing by the back door looking out the window.  I asked her what she was doing.  She said "Waitin' for HoHo".  Oh no!  Christmas is almost 4 months away. Maybe that was a bad idea. ...

Blue Polka Dot Bikini Martini Cocktail

Gambar
  While I was out in the garden yesterday watching Chad and Munchkin fly kites it occurred to me...  It is certainly Spring.   If I don't embrace it, I am going to miss it!  Spring is one of my kegemarane times of year.   Being from Florida, Spring is not just a season it is a fabulous celebration.  People come from all around and flock to the beaches in Florida.  Vacationers party their hearts out in celebration of a break from everything responsible. There is no school, no work, no phones (well this one is optional).  It's almost a holiday.  Except they are off work and you are not.  : ( You can't help think of spring without thinking of fun, bikinis and the water of the gulf of Mexico, a beautiful Caribbean blue.  When Chad created this cocktail is was as if he stepped out of my mind with the perfect adult beverage to commence our Spring celebration. A perfectly sweet spring cocktail with orange, pineapple...

So that creation inspired the Jack Daniels Double Kick Grill Sauce.  I tell you it is sooo amazing.  It features Jack's smoky/sweet flavor with a kick from chili paste...

Cheesy Southwestern Jalapeno Beer Brat Dog And A Family Vacation In New Orleans Continues

Gambar
The next few days of vacation were fantastic.  The New Orlean’s Audubon Zoo is truly worth dedicating a full day to it or you can combine it with Magazine Street shopping and tasting, like we did to make the most of a day of vacation.  We are so grateful to have been invited to enjoy a family vacation in New Orleans.  Make sure you check out our first vacation post Frozen CafĂ© Au Laits, Family Vacation in New Orleans and a GIVEAWAY! Spending a day at the zoo in New Orleans may very well change your mind about zoo’s all together.  After purchasing the Audubon Experience Package we were so excited to visit the zoo, aquarium, insectarium/butterfly garden and IMAX theatre.  We dedicated most of the day to the zoo and Magazine Street (we will share our visits to the other Audubon attractions on Friday – so make sure you check back). Public transportation is absolutely fabulous in New Orleans, between walking, and the air conditioned streetcars, buses and...
