Does Your Coffee Taste Like Coffee? - 5/15/2015

Hello.  I went to Jack In The Box on Austin Bluffs and N. Academy Blvd. in Colorado Springs, Co. earlier this week for a morning cup of coffee. The coffee was in an air pot.  I poured some in and it tasted like brewed iced tea.   Needless to say that I was more than disappointed.  The young lady that was working the front counter put the brewed iced tea into the wrong air pot.  This was quickly remedied.  You may want to do a sniff test on your coffee to make sure that it's coffee the next time you go to Jack In The Box.

That's all for now. Until my next post, have a great day.

Mini Churro Soft Taco - 5/4/2015

Hello, everyone. I made a mini churro soft taco for my dessert tonight. It's the same ingredients as the Chocolate cream cheese quesadilla with cinnamon brown sugar finishing butter on the tortilla but I added 2.5 mini churros from Jack In The Box to make into a soft taco.  Here's a picture of the product before i folded it over.

Try resisting this.  That's all for this post.  Until my next post, have a good day and Happy Cinco De Mayo.

Chocolate Cream Cheese Quesadilla - 5/3/2015

Hello.  In honor of Cinco De Mayo, I decided to make a Chocolate Cream Cheese Quesadilla.  Here is a picture of the ingredients before I made it.

I took a 6 inch flour tortilla and spread some Cinnamon brown sugar finishing butter on both sides. Then, I pan fried the tortilla on both sides for 30 seconds to 1 minute.  After pan frying the tortilla, I placed it on a plate and spread the chocolate cream cheese on it thinly. You don't want to put a lot on it or it will be messy.  Here is the finished product. Notice the cream cheese peeking through.

The finishing butter gave the tortilla a good caramelization.   It was delicious.  You should try this for your Cinco De Mayo party.  That's it for this post.  Until my next post, have a great day.

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Sliders - 4/28/2015

Hello, everyone.  I didn't buy dessert tonight. So, I had some dark chocolate peanut butter, a four pack of King's Hawaiian rolls and some cinnamon brown sugar finishing butter and created Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Sliders.

I cut each roll in half and pan fried them in the cinnamon brown sugar finishing butter and then put the dark chocolate peanut butter between the two halves.  It's quite good.  Here is a picture of them before I ate them.

Try these out on the kids and yourself.  A glass of milk or coffee would go great with this.  That's all for this post.  Until my next post, have a great day.

Strawberry Array - 4/12/2015

Hello, everyone.  I celebrated my 43rd birthday yesterday.  The day before that, I was at a dinner for International students that are interns at The Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Spring, CO.  I decided to make a "Strawberry Array" plate.  Here is a picture of it minus the ones I made with Nutella.

I sliced bananas and put it in the strawberry. I also added blueberry greek whipped yogurt and put a blueberry in the strawberry after I cored a portion of it.  I hope you like it.  That's it for this blog post.  Until my next post, have a great day.

Waffle House Sauce - 4/5/2015

Happy Easter, everyone.  Last week, I had the chance to go to Waffle House in Colorado Springs, Co. for breakfast.  While I was waiting for my order, the place card on the table promoted their new Waffle House sauce made by Heinz.  I asked my server for 2 packets of them.  One of them I used on my breakfast and the other one I took home.

The taste reminds me of a mild chipotle sandwich spread.

I hope you get the chance to go to Waffle House and try it.  That's it for this blog post. Until my next post, have a great day.
