For the holidays - or next Tuesday - or any day!
Mix a bottle of wine with a bag of frozen berries in a blender. When smooth, add ice cubes and blend again = wine slushie!
The BIG GAME is coming up on February 7th. Here's one idea to feed your sports fans.
A CHILI BOARD
(like a cheese board but much more fun)
On a large prepared board, place a hot pad in the center (for a pot of chili or soup).
Make lil’ smokies, and bake cheese sticks
Around where the pot of chili will be, build the board with veggies, snacks, chips, dips, and condiments.
Mix some chex mix with M&Ms!
Right before serving, add the pot of hot chili!
February 4th heats up with National Homemade Soup Day. Before the era of modern transportation, soup was a product of regionally available foods. For this reason, there are thousands of soup recipes available today.
Many soups also offer medicinal properties. What was once considered a wive’s tale, chicken soup now has the backing of the scientific community. Yes, chicken soup helps relieve the symptoms of the common cold. How? Well, scientists believe that a bowl of the soup may reduce inflammation of the lungs. It is thought that chicken soup slows down the activity of white blood cells that can cause inflammation.
This chilly Florida weather gives us a perfect chance to Celebrate - maybe with Chicken Tortilla Soup!
