Strawberry Rose Sangria Course: Beverage Prep Time: 10minutes minutes Chilling time: 2hours hours 开云体育s: 6 Author: Countryside Cravings Strawberry Rose Sangria -is a perfect drink for a party! It's refreshing, easy to make, not too sweet, and filled with fresh strawberries and oranges. Ingredients 1 pound (454g) strawberries, sliced 2 cara cara oranges, sliced 1 (750ml) bottle rose wine 1/2 cup (120ml) brandy 1 (12oz) (355ml) can ginger ale or lemon lime soda Instructions Add the strawberries and oranges to the bottom of a large pitcher. Pour wine and brandy over the top and stir to combine. Place in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours to marinate. Before serving pour in the ginger ale. Serve in a glass with ice and the fruit. Notes You can use a dry rose wine, or even change it up and use a rose champagne and leave out the soda. I used cara cara oranges in this sangria but regular oranges will work fine too. I just like how pretty they are and they are a little sweeter. As with any sangria, you will need to allow a few hours for this to sit and "marinate". This allows for the fruit to flavor the drink and makes it extra tasty. This will become more pink in color after it sits. I know it looks a little orange in this picture (because it was a fresh batch) but I promise it will be pink/light red from the strawberries after it sits for a little bit. If this is not sweet enough for you feel free to add some sugar. Just stir well to dissolve before adding the fruit. I made this Strawberry Rose Sangria with ginger ale but feel free to use any lemon lime soda or leave it out. (I like the bubbles) Source: Countryside Cravings ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO

Deep Fried Cauliflower This Deep Fried Cauliflower recipe is a real crowd-pleaser, turning simple cauliflower into crispy, golden bites of heaven. Perfect for game days or as a snazzy appetizer, these delicious morsels are coated in a light, flavorful batter and fried to perfection. Prep Time10minutes mins Cook Time20minutes mins Total Time30minutes mins Course: Appetizer, Snack Cuisine: American Keyword: cauliflower recipe, deep fried cauliflower, fried cauliflower 开云体育s: 6 Calories: 284kcal Author: Joanna Cismaru Ingredients 1 head cauliflower cut into bite-sized pieces 1 cup all-purpose flour ? cup cornstarch 1 teaspoon baking powder ? teaspoon salt 1 cup water 1 tablespoon hot sauce such as Frank's 2 cups breadcrumbs Italian seasoned oil for frying Instructions In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Stir in water and hot sauce until the batter is smooth. Take each cauliflower piece and give it a good dunk in the batter, making sure it's evenly coated. Let the excess batter drip off. Roll the battered cauliflower in the breadcrumbs until they're completely covered. Heat your deep fryer to 365°F (185℃). Fry the cauliflower pieces in batches until they're golden and crispy. Drain them on paper towels to get rid of any extra oil. Sprinkle a little salt over them if you like – it's optional. Notes No Deep Fryer, No Problem: If you don't have a deep fryer, you can still make this recipe in a deep skillet or a heavy-bottomed pot. Just fill it with enough oil to cover the cauliflower pieces and use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the oil temperature. Oil Temperature is Key: Maintaining the correct oil temperature (365°F/185°C) is crucial for getting that perfect crispy texture. If the oil is too cool, the cauliflower will absorb too much oil and become greasy; if it's too hot, it will burn on the outside before cooking through. Season to Taste: Feel free to adjust the seasoning in the batter or add extra spices to the breadcrumbs to suit your taste. A little garlic powder, smoked paprika, or even some grated Parmesan can add a great flavor boost.Nutrition 开云体育: 1serving | Calories: 284kcal | Carbohydrates: 57g | Protein: 9g | Fat: 2g | Saturated Fat: 1g | Polyunsaturated Fat: 1g | Monounsaturated Fat: 1g | Sodium: 547mg | Potassium: 450mg | Fiber: 4g | Sugar: 4g | Vitamin A: 4IU | Vitamin C: 48mg | Calcium: 121mg | Iron: 3mg Source: Jo Cooks ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO

Prep Time20minutes mins Cook Time10minutes mins Total Time30minutes mins Course: Dinner, Lunch Cuisine: American Keyword: burger recipe, vegetarian burgers, veggie burgers 开云体育s: 4 Calories: 471kcal Author: Joanna Cismaru Equipment Grill Pan 9 Cup Food Processor Ingredients 15 ounces black beans 1 can, drained and rinsed 1 cup cooked quinoa ? cup breadcrumbs ? cup grated carrot ? cup bell pepper finely chopped ? cup red onion finely chopped 2 cloves garlic minced 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped 1 tablespoon soy sauce low sodium 1 teaspoon smoked paprika ? teaspoon cumin ? teaspoon salt ? teaspoon black pepper 1 egg beaten 4 slices cheddar cheese optional 4 whole-grain burger buns olive oil for brushing For Toppings Lettuce, tomato slices, red onion slices, and avocado slices Instructions In a food processor, add the black beans, grated carrot, chopped bell pepper, chopped red onion, minced garlic, and parsley. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still has some texture. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and beaten egg. Mix until well combined. If the mixture feels too wet, add more breadcrumbs; if too dry, add a little water. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ? inch thick. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat and brush it lightly with olive oil. Place the patties on the grill pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until nicely browned and heated through. If using cheddar cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt. Toast the burger buns on the grill pan for about 1 minute, or until lightly browned. Place each veggie patty on a bun and add your desired toppings: lettuce, tomato slices, red onion slices, and avocado slices, mayo. Notes Use canned black beans for convenience, but rinse and drain them well. If the patty mixture feels too wet, add extra breadcrumbs until it holds together. Freeze uncooked patties on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Cook patties directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time. For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons water).Nutrition 开云体育: 1serving | Calories: 471kcal | Carbohydrates: 70g | Protein: 24g | Fat: 11g | Saturated Fat: 4g | Polyunsaturated Fat: 2g | Monounsaturated Fat: 2g | Trans Fat: 0.01g | Cholesterol: 58mg | Sodium: 880mg | Potassium: 667mg | Fiber: 13g | Sugar: 6g | Vitamin A: 1241IU | Vitamin C: 28mg | Calcium: 264mg | Iron: 6mg Source: Jo Cooks ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO

Sweet Maple Barbecue Chicken Kabobs With a touch of caramelized sweetness, this takes your traditional barbecue sauce and elevates it to a whole new level. Prep Time10minutes minutes Cook Time15minutes minutes Total Time25minutes minutes 开云体育s6 Calories403kcal AuthorSandra Ingredients 2 pounds chicken tenders 1 cup brown sugar packed 1 cup ketchup 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup pure maple syrup plus a little more if desired 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 2 teaspoons ground mustard 2 teaspoons Paprika 1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon black pepper Instructions Marinade Mix brown sugar, ketchup, red wine vinegar, water, pure maple syrup Worcestershire sauce, ground mustard, paprika, kosher salt and pepper in a large bowl. Place chicken tenders in the marinade. Cover and let the chicken marinate for at least 2-4 hours or overnight. I like to throw all the ingredients in a Ziplock and let it marinate this way. If you are using metal skewers skip this part, if you are using wood skewers follow the directions below. I know there is a debate whether or not to soak your skewers and to each their own. But I soak mine, I have found that I get less wood pieces in the chicken and they don’t go up in flames. I completely soak my skewers for at least 30 minutes. Make sure the entire stick is completely dredged in water. Once they have soaked, remove and start to assemble the skewers. Kabobs Remove the chicken from the fridge, one piece at a time grab a tender and lace through the skewer. I start at the chunkier end and do a weave motion. Or you can just slide the entire tender on the kabob and not make it all fancy like a wave. Either way, they will taste the same. Set kabob on a plate and repeat the process. Once completed drizzle extra marinade over the chicken, and let it sit while grill is heating up. Heat gas or charcoal grill, remove chicken from marinade. Place chicken on grill over medium heat. Cover grill and cook 3 minutes, then turn over the kabob and cook another 3 minutes. At this point check the chicken. To know if the chicken is done the juices should be clear and the center of thickest part is cut (170°F). If not done, continue to cook, at this point I leave the lid open and just turn the kabobs so they are cooked evenly on both sides. My chicken takes about 8-10 minutes. Remove from grill and serve immediately. Or cover with foil and serve later. Great to serve with grilled corn on the cob, cornbread – my favorite Sweet Jalapeno Cornbread and coleslaw. Use the leftovers the next day for a grilled chicken salad.

Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts 1 large red onion 1 large red pepper 1 large green pepper 1 large orange pepper Instructions Make the Southwestern Barbecue Sauce by combining all of the ingredients into a large mason jar. Twist on the lid to the jar and shake vigorously to combine. Place barbecue sauce in the refrigerator until ready to use. Prepare peppers and onion for the kabobs. To chop the peppers, I cut it in half and remove the core and stem, then cut the two halves into thirds. Cut each third into thirds as well. I do the same for the onions. Prepare the chicken into 1-2-inch cubes: Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch slices, then each slice cut into 1-inch cubes. Add the chicken and 1 cup of the southwestern barbecue sauce into a Ziplock bag and toss the chicken to combine with the sauce. Set the chicken, sealed in the Ziplock, in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Place the remaining barbecue sauce back in the refrigerator. Using a skewer, I prefer metal ones, add 2-pieces of chicken and push to the bottom of the skewer. Then add one green pepper square, 1-2-pieces of onion and one red or orange pepper piece. Repeat the sequence until you reach the top of the skewer, making to sure to push the chicken and vegetables closely together. Once completed, set kabob on a plate and repeat with the remaining chicken, onions, and peppers. Heat gas or charcoal grill to medium heat. Place chicken on grill and cook for 3 minutes with the lid shut. Then rotate the kabob to cook on the opposite side and baste with remaining southwestern barbecue sauce. Cook another 3 minutes. At this point, check the chicken to see how it’s cooking. To know if the chicken is done, the juices should be clear. Grill Tip: My husband swears by a digital meat thermometer. He pulls off all our chicken between 155 and 158 degrees and lets it rest for a few minutes (which brings the final temperature up to 160-165. It turns out super juicy and just right. If not done, baste the chicken again with the barbecue sauce continue to cook for another 3-minutes on a side you haven’t cooked yet. Repeat until done. My chicken kabobs take from anywhere to 9-12 minutes. Remove the kabobs from the grill once completely cooked and serve immediately. If I am serving these to the kids, I will remove the chicken and veggies from the skewers so don’t burn themselves or use the skewers as weapons at the table.
