Wine Freeze recipe

We like to go to Johns Pass when we are in Florida. It's a really neat fishing village. It has all kinds of cool shops where you can find more than the typical Florida souvenirs. There are also a lot of restaurants. Noah loves going to Bubba Gump which is a Forrest Gump themed restaurant. We also really like The Friendly Fisherman. There's also a wine shop. I am not a huge drinker so I occasionally enjoy a wine freeze. They are cheap and delicious. We have also gone to the actual  winery that makes the wine they sell. A cup of Wine Freeze is cheap but to make it t home is expensive. It's expensive if you buy the set of mix and wine. It's like $40 a set. It's also really hard to find. Flying with bottles in your suitcase is nerve wracking. If your luggage is thrown the wrong way forget about it. 

I decided to create my own version of Wine Freezes which are great on a hot day or when you want to pretend like you are at the beach. It's really simple too. 

1/2 cup of Strawberry Wine or Moscato Wine
1/2 cup Strawberry daiquiri mix
Ice to fill the blender. 

Put the ice in the blender until smooth. 

You can also do this with any flavored drink mixer. It's best if it's thicker though. 

Throw in a little paper umbrella and enjoy. Remember to drink responsibly. 

My delicious quiche recipe

I love sharing recipes with you guys and I wanted to share with you my quiche recipe. I really like quiche because it contains three of my favorite ingredients bacon, cheese and onions. Everytime I make quiche I always think of the movie White Chicks. One of the characters is lactose intolerant. He, I mean she gobbles up a bunch of quiche not knowing it contains cheese. My recipe is very easy to make. Some think it's a difficult dish.

 10 slices of bacon

6 slices of Swiss cheese

6 eggs 

1 cup cream

Eighth teaspoon of pepper

Preheat the oven to 450° place the pie crust on a cookie sheet. Poke holes in the pie crust with a fork.

Bake the crust for 5 min. take out of the oven turn down the oven to 375°.

Chop onion, cheese, and bacon and combine together in a bowl. Place them in the pie crust.

Crack the eggs in a bowl beat them lightly together. Add cream in and mix. Finally add pepper. Carefully add egg mixture in the pie crust.

Gently put the quiche in the oven. Remember to keep it on the cookie sheet so if your quiche over flows you won’t have a huge mess.

Bake for 45 minutes until golden brown. Place a knife half way to the center and make sure it comes out clean.

Let the quiche sit for 10 minutes and then enjoy.

Sheila’s Garlic Burger Recipe

This recipe is one of my absolute favorites. I have about ten recipes or so that are my favorites. Most people like to eat a good burger unless you are a vegetarian then you probably don't. I have had many different types of burgers at restaurants. I have made many hamburgers but hands down this is my absolute favorite. Once you try these you will not want to have any ordinary burger again. It contains two of my favorite ingredients. Onions and Garlic. I have made my Garlic burgers for friends and family. We had them at Noah's second birthday party. Everyone raves about them.  

I make these on a grill pan. A skillet will also work. I guess you could make them on a grill, however I will not because the best part is the little bits of yumminess. They are onions and garlic that have glazed on the grill pan. Those little bits would fall in the grill and that would make me really sad. 

Check out those huge chunks of garlic!

Garlic Burgers

1 pound hamburger
1 head of Garlic or 2 smallish heads
1 small onion 
Seasoning Salt
Pepper

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut the top off the head of garlic and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap in foil and bake for 45 minutes. You are roasting the garlic. 

While the garlic cools enough for you to handle, chop the onion in to small pieces. Place the hamburger in a bowl and add the onion and garlic. 

I try and use my fingers to get the cloves out whole or almost whole. You can squeeze it but really you are wasting garlic goodness. 

Mix together with your hands and shape in to four patties. Make them thin because they thicken as they cook. 

Liberally sprinkle your grill pan with seasoning salt and pepper.  Preheat your grill pan or skillet be sure to not breathe in the pepper while it heats up. You will know it is ready when you can put a drop of water on it and it will sizzle up. 

Place the hamburgers on the grill pan or skillet and let them cook. Try not to flip them too much, for even cooking. 

If you want to add cheese do it when they are completely cooked. I don't like cheese on mine. It doesn't need it.  

I also like to heat the bun on top of the cooked burgers. 

Remove hamburgers and scrape the brown bits off. It is the best part. It's caramelized onion and roasted garlic. 

Enjoy! 

Let me know if you try this recipe. I look forward to your thoughts.
