BBQ Parfaits

3 11 2011

BBQ Parfaits featuring Roy’s BBQ Pulled Pork! Yum!

Adrians Boutique recently served this delicious dish at our “He Hunts…I SHOP Adrians” Event.  This should be easy to recreate at your own family gathering or holiday event.  Start with great BBQ!  We ordered ours from one of the most recognized BBQ Pit Masters in the US…and are so lucky to have Roy’s Hickory Pit BBQ right here in our area!

We used 9 oz clear plastic cups, which I think is just about the right size for ladies…you might want to have some larger cups available if you’re feeding hungry guys!

Here’s what we did… ordered delicious baked beans and pulled pork from Roy’s. You could certainly do your own version.  The potatoes were delicious! (Recipe follows for Marvelous Mashed Potatoes).  Scoop baked beans into the bottom of the cup.  Top with a scoop of Marvelous Mashed Potatoes, then some pulled pork (beef would work well too), then drizzled BBQ sauce over the meat.  Next we topped it off with a nice rounded scoop (using our largest ice cream or cookie scoop) of potatoes.  Then drizzled with a little more BBQ sauce and garnished it with a little sprinkle of parsley flakes.  Serve cup on a plate, or wrapped in a napkin, as it will be really hot!

Hope your family enjoys this fun version of a BBQ meal as much as our clients did!

Marvelous Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

12 servings of instant mashed potatoes, prepare as directed (we use Idahoan Brand)
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 cup cour cream
1/2 cup butter, plus a little more for topping
1/2 tsp garlic powder or salt
3 T. Country home Creations “BLT Dip Mix” plus more for garnishing (about 1/3 packet)
(We have also used Wind & Willow’s BLT mix with excellent results)
Disposable slow cooker liners*

Directions:

Prepare instant mashed potatoes as directed. Add cream cheese, sour cream, butter, garlic, and 3 T. BLT Dip Mix. Stir thoroughly. Place in a slow cooker lined with a disposable crock pot liner. Depending on the time available, heat on low or high until piping hot. This is a great recipe for the holidays, as it eliminates making those mashed potatoes at the last minute and trying to keep them hot.

This is a very easy to prepare and fun to serve dish for a family gathering, work party, or event, expecially if it is a come & go style party. They can just help themselves!

Please let us know if you have any questions, or comments!  We love to hear from our clients!

22 09 2011

Sharon Regier
Buhler, Kansas

Streusel:
1 c. light brown sugar
1 c. chopped apples
1 c. sliced almonds, pecans or walnuts (optional)
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
3 T. butter, melted

Making the Streusel: Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9 0r 10 inch tube pan. To prepare streusel, in a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, apples, almonds, flour and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter.

Cake:
2 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 c. orange juice

Make the cake:
1. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and baking soda; mix well. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time; beat well after each addition. Add vanilla.

2. Set mixer to low; alternately beat flour mixture and orange juice into egg mixture. Spoon half of batter into tube pan. Sprinkle with half of streusel.

3. Spoon the remaining batter over the streusel, spreading to make an even layer. Swirl batter with knife to create a marble pattern.

4. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove cake from oven; sprinkle top with remaining streusel. Return cake to oven; bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 3o-35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; cool completely.

Glaze:
1/2 c. confectioners sugar
2 1/2 tsp. orange juice

Make the Glaze: Combine confectioners sugar and orange juice. Mix well. Turn cake out onto a serving plate; invert so streusel is on top. Drizzle glaze over cake; serve. Serves 12.

Mmmmmmm…with the first day of Fall, comes the desire for a warm apple dessert!  Sharon’s recipe really hits the ball out of the park!  Enjoy!

Mama G’s Salsa in a Snap!

24 07 2011
Mama G’s “Salsa in a Snap” Recipe Ideas
This incredibly versatile salsa mix can be used in many tasty dishes, at a very small cost per serving! One container makes 2 GALLONS of Fresh Salsa or sixteen 15 oz. cans of petite diced tomatoes into fresh salsa!  Delicious!  We served this at our “Celebrate Sisters” Event at Adrians this past week and used it in our Pepper Bellies, Guacamole & of course, fresh Salsa!  We served TONS of people…and didn’t even use one whole can!  It goes a long way!  Here are some other ideas…

Mama G’s Pepper Bellies

2 lbs. ground beef, seasoned with dried onions, garlic, salt & pepper and  browned
*Note: You can make this ahead of time and freeze until needed.
2 – 15 oz. cans chili beans
2 – 15 oz. cans petite diced tomatoes
2 – 15 oz. cans tomato sauce
1 level scoop of Mama G’s Salsa in a Snap seasoning mix (more if you like it spicier!)

Fritos (regular kind…not the scoops)
Toppings:  Choose what you like, or what you have in the fridge!

shredded cheddar cheese
shredded lettuce
sour cream
guacamole
sliced black olives
sliced jalapeno peppers
picante sauce

Place slow cooker liner in your crock pot.  Put in browned hamburger, undrained chili beans, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and Mama G’s seasoning. Stir together, put the lid on and let it cook until nice and hot (2-3 hours on high, or all day on low).  When time to serve, set up a “help yourself” bar with Fritos and all of the toppings, and let your family or guests choose how to top their Pepper Belly!

*Note: This is delicious with Dulce le Leche Cheesecake!
