Everything looks great, you've got a hell of a portfolio now.

Working on a post for you all!! There's gonna be 5(?) new things today. Only one that I have made before. I am waiting for the butter to soften for the last one before I post them.

A friend of mine is having a cookout this weekend and I offered to make some appetizers for her
First up we have the tried and true recipe for a veggie dip. Trust me, it doesn't taste low fat even though the ingredients are. The secret is to not use fat free - it changes the consistency of the products. This one is ALWAYS a huge hit Ingredients Finished product with all of the cut veggies ready to go. Next, is a new recipe found online. Spicy Mango Salsa Ingredients Finished product. Obviously I used more mango than was in the original recipe. The recipe was only to serve 4 as a garnish and I didn't realize that. I added 4 mangoes to make this amount. I haven't tasted it yet, but I am hoping it is good. |

Another new online recipe - Marinated Mozzarella Balls
Ingredients Finished product. I am debating adding grape tomatoes and chopped garlic and make it kind of like a caprese salad type thing |

CAAAAAKE!
Yes, I believe this does deserve it's own post. This, my friends. Is my very first Red Velvet cake in bundt form. I made cream cheese frosting to go with it (next post), even though I think glazes are better with bundt cakes. First time frosting a cake, too. It doesn't look very good, but I tell you what, that frosting is the BOMB! If the cakes is even half as good this is going to be a huge hit. I didn't use all of the icing though. I think it would have been WAY too much. If it would've looked anything like the ones in the book, I would have been mortified. The only question now, is how do I transport it an hour away? :/ This Plus This Equals This |

You could a cake holder. That should transport and hold the cake quite nicely for an hour. Just don't swing and bounce it wildly.

Wow - good job!
The cream cheese icing is the same I put on carrot cake. The staffroom go crazy for it. They're never once commented on my gorgeous ganaches, which are still easy but twice as expensive... I've been tempted by a Red Velvet Cake but they are not known in this country and I'm not sure how they would be received.

Lola - I just covered it with foil and put it on the front seat - that worked pretty well. I don't have a cake holder - I should probably get one, though. I just touched it up with the leftover icing when I got to the destination.
Sundae - once it was cut, it seems like it went flying. Half gone in no time! I might be making another with just a glaze to use up the buttermilk, but I haven't decided yet. I don't ever use buttermilk. An update - though, all items were a hit. Although, it seems like me providing all those veggie types was pointless. People mostly only ate carrots and celery.

You can use buttermilk in cornbread...?
Glad it went so well. Grace will come to you for putting in the effort, even if they preferred rabbit food

I don't like cornbread, but I did find an oven fried chicken recipe that uses it and a mashed cauliflower recipe. These are on the menu for Tuesday. Today's dinners will be supplied by Trader Joe's and my freezer - lol

Oven-fried chicken sounds yum, please document.
Anything with cauliflower is grim and you can bury it quietly. Actually maybe that should be my Frog Prince challenge. If I ever meet a man who can cook cauli in a way I enjoy, I will marry him and give him a BJ every Saturday night. Not that I'm beating them off with a stick without a challenge...

A friend of Baby's turned me onto this. Great on a hot day/evening.
Kool-Aid Pie 2 pkgs Kool-Aid drink mix (any flavor, I used Black Cherry) 1 - 14oz can of sweetened, condensed milk 1 - 8oz bowl of Cool Whip 1 Graham cracker pie crust Whip everything til it's nice and whipped (except the pie crust, pie crusts do not respond well to whipping. A stern talking to is usually all that's needed.). Put it in the pie crust. Make it cold. Eat it, or alternatively, rub it all over your significant other, and then eat it. ***WARNING*** Do not put Kool-Aid Pie on top of your head. Your tongue may well beat your brains out trying to get to it. ETA: Here's the one I'm makin' cold RFN. NOTE: That is not an ant or fly in my pie, it's a blueberry peekin' through.  I love the color.

We made a version with frozen condensed lemonade. I've never had crack, but I imagine it's like that, the way it got scarfed down at the party we attended.
