Summer's here...easy iced coffee recipes?
What are your yummiest easy iced coffee recipes? Please share!
This is not for a meal, but a really yummy snack or appetizer. It's call cowboy salsa or texas caviar. Basically you just put cans of rinsed black beans, rinsed black-eyed peas, corn, diced bell peppers, diced onions, diced tomatoes into a bowl. Add Italian dressing and a pinch of garlic salt. Let it sit in the fridge overnight to let the flavors soak in. I sometimes add chopped cilantro and leave out tomatoes. Really, just find a combination you like. You can also add navy beans or any other beans. Serve it with tortilla chips or crackers...he won't even notice the beans!
Thanks for all the ideas. I think I'll do the brownies with Oreos in the batter and maybe try the PB cookies.
Falcons: BBQ & sweet tea
I've made cookies out of cake mix before, but I'll have to dig and find the recipe. Maybe try to google cake mix cookies?
Thanks for the tips. StripeyChef, I live in central Alabama.
Have you heard of Silestone countertops? My brother-in-law installs them, and they are supposed to be better than granite. Impossible to scratch, can set dishes from the stove top right onto the countertop. Maybe granite is like this too? I'm not sure, but the silestone is really nice!
Thanks. These all sound good!
Fudge, divinity, cinammon sugar pecans, cheese straws, chocolate covered pretzels. Christmas morning we always have fruit and "pinch cake" (monkey bread? my family always called it pinch cake). Yum!
I like zucchini, onions, cheddar, & sausage. Yum.
These are so funny! Thanks for the stories!
No drive-thru in B'ham, Alabama.
Prime rib (we actually buy pre-marinated ones and just rub olive oil, cover with foil, and roast in the oven...no peeking until it's done), garlic rosemary mashed potatoes, and a salad...or asparagus baked with olive oil and parmesan cheese.
Go for the cranberry orange mini loaves. Sounds delicious. Both of those flavors seem to compliment chocolate! Yum!
I think prime rib sounds good. I've never grilled one, but I have roasted one in the oven for a holiday meal and everyone loved it!
I'm also from the South, actually southern Alabama, where most soft drinks were all referred to as "coke". Very silly, but pop and soda also sound silly to me. :O)
Chili, sweet potato pie, and turkey and dressing coming up soon!
I used the S & P with EVOO method on our rib-eyes Sunday night, and it they were great! Thanks for all the comments and tips.
Ooh, this one is a gravity feed can rack. Very nice!

Here's a link to the Container Store website. They have some great kitchen and pantry store options, which can help 1) keep food in sight & 2) create space in a small pantry (which was always the case for me and my college roommate.) Good luck!

I like peanut butter on a whole grain waffle with banana slices. I've also spread cream cheese on a wheat tortilla, topped with banana slices, cinammon, and little bit of sugar. Mixing different fruits in my cereal keeps me from getting too bored with it. :O)
I used to love Golden Grahams. They were covered in cinnamon and sugar-Yum! Now I lean towards Frosted Shredded Mini Wheats (I feel like I'm doing something kinda healthy :O), and Cheerios, especially the 5-grain lightly sweetened kind.
Wow, NorthernBBQer. Thanks for the recipe. It sounds wonderful!
I own a small deep fryer that my husband and I use occasionally to fry homemade chips, fries, or onion rings. Otherwise, I sautee or pan fry things. I don't like the mess or the smell grease leaves in my kitchen for days.
I do love this idea! I really love the BBQ chicken and Thai chicken pizzas at California Pizza Kitchen. You can find these frozen in a lot of grocery stores, and they are pretty good. They are a bit smaller than regular pizzas & a bit more expensive, so that might not be the best idea.
I like Madelyn's idea of hiring a culinary student or someone to help with the cooking. I got married this past December, and it get very stressful (and expensive). Hang in there and have a great time!

I'm looking for a strawberry pecan quick bread...but the catch is I'd like to just use a box of strawberry cake mix I have on hand. Any recipes?
I'm not a vegetarian...and I don't plan on becoming one, but I am looking for healthier and fresher meals for 2010...any favorites?
I was looking for something to mix up and stick in the crockpot for dinner later. What are your favorite recipes?
I'm assuming it is since you can buy frozen cookie dough in stores. I've never had the need to freeze homemade cookie dough and just wanted to double check. Thanks all you serious eaters!
My first thought it to pull the meat, warm it up with BBQ sauce, and make sandwiches...any other ideas?
I'm looking for a good dessert to bring to a casual party/watching a college football game...it needs to be cost efficient, because I'm on a budget these days! I need to feed about 10 people something really yummy. I have a bag of Oreos on hand. :O)
What are the best herbs to grow and have at on hand at home? Also, can I plant them in a little planter inside or does it actually need to be a garden outside?
I don't have much luck keeping plants alive, so any help is appreciated. :O)
I seem to remember seeing or hearing of recipes for a baked spaghetti casserole using left over spaghetti. Do any of you cook this by chance? If so, can you post a recipe? My husband and I ALWAYS have leftovers.
Tonight I was getting ready to bake some brownies for a work event, and as I was greasing the pan I saw a small hair (maybe even from my dog-yikes!). Luckily, I caught it BEFORE I served it to my colleagues!
What is your most embarassing food moment? Fess up. :O)
I'm a beginning bread baker & want to make a loaf (tonight) for a friend who is sick. I haven't had much time (or luck) to bake from scratch, so I'm about to run out and use a regular boxed mix for the bread.
Can you mix in rosemary or some other seasoning without altering the whole process? Any ideas? Thanks, serious eaters!
I usually just bake them, then add butter and brown sugar...I know, how creative. :O) What are some other ideas using ingredients that are usually on hand?
My husband and I are planning a long weekend get-away on the Canada side of Niagara Falls. We'll be flying into Buffalo, NY. One of our favorite hobbies is, of course, eating! Any ideas?
Every time my husband and I grill steak we try different combinations of spices for the rub. I'm still not sure that we've found a really great one yet.
Also, should I apply the rub right before I grill or should it have some time to sit?
Any advice is welcome. :O)
This is definitely something I haven't tried at home, but I passed this cut of meat in the grocery store tonight...it was on sale & it looked great.
Now, what do I do with it? :O)
So I've always been a picky eater. I recently started a diet with my husband (of 8 months :O) and realized eating a healthy diet eliminates most of what we picky eaters eat. One thing I am trying to eat more of is tomatoes. I like them cooked, in pasta or pizza sauces, but can't quite bring myself to bite right into one in a salad.
I know they are full of nutrients when fresh and have read that lycopene can help reduce the risk of both breast and prostate cancer. Any recipes to introduce this healthful item into my diet?
This young, picky, newlywed cook welcomes all comments.

NOT pizza! Spare yourself the freshman (or any other year) fifteen. Hummus, cucumbers, carrots, and pita chips are a great study snack.
