Rum and Coke Mocktail Milkshake Recipe

Rum and Cole Mocktail Milkshake Recipe, You don't need alcohol to enjoy this sweet summer drink! but if you must...Have fun
Hola Amigos! Where did Summer go? We're about to have the last unofficial BBQ and summer party of the season and I'm saying goodbye with a great mocktail, Rum and Coke turned into a shake, no alcohol here, BUT if you wanted to say bye with a Bang..why not, it's your party, you can do what you want to, or so the song goes, lol.
Rum and Coke Mocktail Milkshake Recipe, a delicious sweet summer drink with no regrets, have as many as you want since there is no alcohol here, maybe a few extra hours at the gym!

It's refreshing and rich, better than the actual highball since could have as many as you want without a hangover the next day...well, maybe a few extra minutes at the gym but that's always a good thing.

I was checking Wiki for the origins of Rum and Coke aka Cuba Libre and I found a whole variety of cocktails derived from this popular one, Cuban Missile Crisis, Midas, "Hot" Cuba Libre and my favorite name so far, Witch Doctor, sounds perfect for Halloween don't you think.

What are your plans for this last week (kind of) of summer? Some good fun family get together, last minute picnic? a labor day parade? whatever it is, I hope you think of including this delicious drink in your menu! It is good and even better when you add a Pinch of Love!


Besitos,
Lizy

Cookies and Cream Cannoli Cones Recipe

Cookies and Cream Cannoli Cones Recipe, can't find cannoli shells? don't feel like baking one? no problem how about waffle cones instead. Enjoy this sweet on the go treat this summer! Crunchy, Creamy and Sweet, yum
Hola Amigos! Another week comes to an end which brings us to the end of summer. I can't help to start getting in the mood for earthier  flavors on main dishes and desserts  even though the official start of fall is more than a month away (Sept.22) , do you feel the same way?
But...let's not rush it and have a few more rounds of fun and easy going summer treats! Just like this one!
I set my mind the other day to make homemade cannoli. Easier said than done. First,  I couldn't find cannoli shells anywhere and I didn't feel like baking any either, after all it's supposed to be an easy dessert. So I improvised and used waffle cones and then myy mix turned out a little softer than I wanted to fill the cones so I turned them into parfait by crushing almond cookies into the mix. Problem solved and a wonderful refreshing dessert was born!
Cookies and Cream Cannoli Cones Recipe, Creamy and Crunchy, the classic Italian dessert, takes a turn by the use of waffle cones and crushed almond cookies! Delicious summer treat!

I tell you, I think I like these better than if they were the real thing! Easy to handle, no forks or plates, Mobile, the kids took them outside right away.Crunchy, crumble cookies in the inside and crunchy waffle cone on the outside and Creamy...the cannoli filling just the way you like it!

I plan on doing this recipe for family gatherings for now on...I can see it already it would be a hit coming Thanksgiving...well it won't replace the pie...but, who knows!

Most of my ingredients I had at hand, I just had to buy the ricotta and it was on sale too! So it's an inexpensive dessert to feed at least 8, depending how generous you are with your cone filling.
Another summer dessert for you my friends. I hope you give this one a try! is worth every single calorie, I promise you that!
Cookies and Cream Cannoli Cones Recipe, treat your family to this sweet, crunchy and creamy treat tasting just like your traditional Italian Restaurant dessert but made from the comfort of your home, Waffle cones, almond cookies and creamy ricotta would make this dessert one of your favorite summer treats!

Oh one more thing, even though traditional cannoli is not a dessert that should be frozen by any means, my son couldn't finish his 3rd and froze his and had it like a real ice cream cone the next day...so seems to me it works as a frozen dessert too!



Thank You for stopping by! Put on your shades, go outside and enjoy the sunshine. Remember that no matter the season, everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love!


Besitos,
Lizy

DIY Pencil Gumball Machine Teacher's Gift

DIY Pencil Gumball Machine Teacher's Gift, turn your favorite pencil into a Gumball work of art. Resembling a No.2 pencil, this gumball machine will bring a smile to your child's teacher for sure!
Hola Amigos! A quick and budget friendly craft for kids to give their favorite teacher for this new school year about to start soon. It's a DIY "Pencil No.2"  Gumball Machine made with materials available at your nearest dollar store.

This would be the 3rd time I've changed my Gumball machine, just to give you an idea of how versatile this project is! Here it is all dressed up for St. Patrick's and here ready to welcome Easter!
What I used:  1 dollar store fish bowl, 1 terracotta pot with 2 saucers one the one smaller than the other, Assorted paints, yellow, grey, green and pink,to resemble a pencil, gumballs or any other candy you will see appropriate, adhesive letters and numbers to spell No.2., hot glue gun or glass cement.
How I did it: Paint your terracotta pot in the same order of colors of a No.2 pencil. Once the paint is dry, add your letters (or you could paint them too!) to the bottom of the yellow pot. If you recalled, I suggested 2 saucers, 1 smaller than the other, you see, the smaller saucer will go on the inside of the bigger one and once we used this one as a "lid" for our gumball machine it will stay in place! The way you attached the fish bowl onto the bottom of the terracotta pot is by gluing it's bottom with hot glue or glass cement. Fill your gumball with candy, add any other embellishment to the lid and you are ready!
DIY Pencil Gumball Machine Teacher's Gift, this cute "Gumball Machine" will bring a smile to your child's teacher face. Fill it up with candy, cookies, paper clips, your choice, it would look great on her desk!

Isn't it the cutest thing? as I mentioned before add age appropriate candy, cookies or even why not, erasers or colorful paper clip or rubber bands!  This is only to inspire you, your imagination is the limit.

I hope I have inspired you with this easy craft and consider it as a little sweet gesture from your child to the one person he/she is going to be seeing a lot for the next few months keeping their young minds sharp!
DIY Pencil Gumball Machine Teacher's Gift, give this cute "gumball machine" as a nice to meet you gift to your child's teacher. It will look great on her desk with candies, cookies, paper clips or just by itself!

Besitos,
Lizy

Sharknado Cupcake Recipe

Shark Week "Sharknado" Cupcakes Recipe, take a bite out of Shark Week with these airy and delicious cupcakes! Filled with Very Berry "Blood" they are sure to be a hit, just like the movie, when served in a fun Luau, Halloween Party or just a fun gathering !

Hola Amigos! I'm sure by now you are all excited about the best film of this summer season: Sharknado!!!! Nothing celebrates Shark Week better than a powerful whirlwind carrying thousands of sharks ready to devour an entire city!!! Ok, Ok...so the movie is one of the dumbest syfy films so far...borderline comedy! but Shark Week is still awesome and to celebrate my love of all things shark and bad acting, I made fun cupcakes!


This is a tongue in cheek kind of post, if you are sensitive to realistic looking gummy sharks and fake blood, better read tomorrow's post I promise you it will be a serious one, but for now...you've been warned, if you are game, sit down and enjoy a few of my favorite personal Shark Facts.

I love sharks! Since little I learned to admire them and to fear them. We were at the beach every weekend and the rule was, if you hear dad yell "Get Out Of The Water" you just did it! no questions ask! Ever!!! I'm sure you know why...

My Grad School thesis was about the Economical vs Biological Impact of the Commercialization of Sharks (specific species). I got high scores from the 3 judging professors whoot whoot...lol..I think I know my sharks alright!
Shark Week "Sharknado" Cupcakes Recipe, Shark Week will never be the same after you take a bite our of these fun cupcakes, Filled with a "Bloody" delicious raspberry filling they are great for a creepy Luau, a Halloween Hawaiian Gathering or just plain fun!

Believe it or not, I know how to prepare a killer Shark Fin Soup! From collecting, drying, removing skin to separating and bleaching the little fibers to make the soup, which is a delicacy in Asian cultures. My dad thought me the process and it's an experience I will never forget. Note: We never killed a shark for this purpose, sometimes fisherman have a few as bycatch for the day.

We are a bigger threat to sharks than they are to us. Granted nobody wants to be attacked or eaten by a shark, chances are you are most likely to be bitten by another human being in your lifetime than by a shark. The practice of 'shark finning" for the above mentioned soup, sport and fear among other things, are  the main threats to these animals.
Shark Week "Sharknado" Cupcakes recipe, celebrate the best B syfy movie since The Attack of the Giant Caterpilar!! These fun and delicious cupcakes are filled with berry "Blood" and you won't be able to resist taking a "Bite Out of Them!

The Shark Conservation Act was signed into a Law in January 2011

White Sharks can smell a drop of blood from up to mile away, but most sharks can smell a drop of blood 3000 yards away.

Sharks don't sleep like we do. Most of them need to constant be in the move in order to get oxygen through their gills and bodies, so they "sleep swim" (not to be confused with sleep walk) part of their brains are less active and allows them to rest.
Shark Week "Sharknado" Cupcake Recipe, Shark Week will never be the same after you have one of these airy and delicious cupcakes! Filled with very berry "blood" they are irresistible

And on the subject of sleeping now that you are more likely to put that bikini and swim in the middle of the night right after watching a JAWS marathon, I want to thank you for your visit today! Enjoy Shark Week and remember than even Sharknado Cupcakes taste better with a Pinch of Love! (for sharks)
Shark Week "Sharknado" Cupcakes recipe...this cupcakes are the perfect Trick and Treat for Halloween...a gush of Very Berry Blood with each Sharky Bite! No artificial coloring on this blood, just pure fruit goodness!

Besitos,
Lizy

Sharknado Cupckaes
Ingredients:
1 Bag of White Cupcake Mix
1 Cup Cream Soda
2 TBSP Raspberry Preserves
5 Straberries
5 Blakberries
Vanilla Icing
Cotton Candy
Shark Gummies
Directions:
Pre Heat oven at 350 degrees. Follow instructions on your cupcake bag. I replaced what the instructions ask for water and replaced it for the same amount of cream soda. Fill your cupcake liners and bake for about 15-20 minutes or follow bag instructions.
For the "Blood" Filling
In a saucepan on low heat add and mix 1/4 cup cream soda, preserves and fruit. Heat up until mix starts to thicken, about 10 minutes. Set aside and cool to room temperature. Once cooled, put the mix in a blender and blend on high until smooth. Inject the center of the cupcakes with this mix.
Once filled, top each cupcake with some vanilla icing. Shape a piece of your cotton candy into a funnel shape (resembling a tornado) and place it on top of the icing with a few shark gummies.
Take A Bite of your cupcakes and enjoy.

Preparation: 12 minutes         Cook Time 15-20 minutes      Serves 12
