Happy Cinco De Mayo – easy fajitas
My favorite beef fajita recipe is so simple
Just marinate the beef in 2/3 C lime juice, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper for a couple hours then grill
Don’t marinate too long or the acid in the lime will “cook” the meat
I use flank steak. I love the way the lime flavors the meat perfectly.
You know the drill……cook up peppers and onions and whatever else you want, wrap up – top with sour cream, salsa, avocado, cheese – however you like yours. So easy and delish!
$2 popcorn at Regal May 6-8
Here is a link to a $2 popcorn at Regal. If you’re gonna go to a movie, you may as well get a cheap popcorn.
I just finished reading Water for Elephants and now want to see the movie. Good timing for a cheap popcorn.
WSU Extension – Master Gardeners
Did you know WSU Extension offers a really great website including gardening advice? They have a Master Gardeners section and offer information on all areas from beginning gardening to expert advice.
Here is the link.
I used this service years ago when it was available as audio tapes over the phone. I shared it with a friend who was canning pickles with me that year and we had a lot of fun.
Dried pineapple "flowers" on hummingbird cake
With the recent purchase of pineapples around Easter it brought to mind a trick I’ve been wanting to try.
I saw this idea in a Martha Stewart recipe years ago and filed it away. You dry thinly sliced pineapple and it ends up looking like flowers.
Here is a link to a recipe where I got this beautiful picture.
Frappuccino recipe
If you’re not going to make it to a Starbucks for a half price frappuccino May 6-15, then try this out at home.
1 1/2 C cold coffee
1/2 C whole milk
1/3 C granulated sugar
1 tsp chocolate syrup
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp vanilla
3 C ice
Top with whipped cream or if you want it to be even creamier, add some whipped cream to your blender.
Blend coffee, milk, sugar, chocolate syrup and salt in blender on medium 15 seconds. Add the vanilla and ice and blend on high until smooth and creamy. I think it would be even better topped with whipped cream, but I didn’t have any on hand so I sprinkled it with chocolate powder. Yummy!
