Getting started....

Ok, let's see how well this goes. I told myself I would never get into blogging or tweeting!



Since graduating college I have started to enjoy cooking A LOT! I love finding new recipes to try. So as I find and try new recipes I will post on here for you guys to try and let you know which ones I would not recommend! Most of my recipes come from online websites with a little tweaking of my own.



**NEW FEATURE** At the bottom of each recipe there is a place where you can rate the recipe! Let me know if you just liked it, loved it or thought it was just ok. No hard feelings! Promise :-)





Enjoy!

Perfect Iced Coffee

A very nice drink that reminds me of a Starbucks Frappe!  Tweaked the recipe from http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/06/perfect-iced-coffee/

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound (8 ounces) Ground Coffee
  • 4 quarts Cold Water
  • Half-and-half (healthy Splash Per Serving)
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk (2-3 Tablespoons Per Serving)
  • Hershey's Classic Carmel Syrup (1/2-1 Tablespoon Per Serving)

Preparation Instructions

In a large container, mix ground coffee with water. Cover and allow to sit at room temperature eight hours or overnight.
Line a fine mesh strainer with cheesecloth or paper towel and set over a pitcher or other container. Pour coffee/water mixture through the strainer, allowing all liquid to run through. Discard grounds.
Place coffee liquid in the fridge and allow to cool. Use as needed.

To make iced coffee, pack a glass full of ice cubes. Fill glass 2/3 full with coffee liquid. Add healthy splash of half-and-half.  At this point I poured all contents of my glass into a blender, added 2-3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk and 1/2-1 tablespoons carmel syrup and blended until I had finely chopped up ice.  Pour back into glass and enjoy!
