Lobster Rolls

Pin to Pinterest

Lobster Rolls are one of those meals that you typically have while you’re at a restaurant and craving a good comfort meal. Although, you may only have them when you’re out of town, close to the coast. Either way, Lobster Rolls are really easy to make so, you can enjoy them at home anytime with this easy, delicious recipe!  The slightly sweet and buttery lobster paired with the tangy lemon, creamy mayo and crunchy celery and spices topped on a buttery toasted bun. Perfection! You’ll think you were in Maine! Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 2 (7 oz.) Lobster Tails
  • 4 Hotdog Buns (you can also use slider buns)
  • ½ Cup Spectrum Canola Mayonnaise
  • ½ Cup Celery
  • 1 Garlic Clove
  • 1 tbsp. Fresh Squeezed Organic Lemon Juice
  • 4 tbsp. Melted Organic Butter
  • ½ tsp. Simply Organic Onion Powder
  • Salt & Pepper

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven at 250 degrees F.
  2. Fill a medium pot about 2/3 of the way with water. Bring to boil. Add lobster tails. You will notice that the shells will begin to turn red almost immediately. Boil for approximately 8-10 minutes. The lobster tails will become slightly curled. Remove lobster tails from water. Set aside on cutting board and let cool.
  3. Dice the celery and garlic clove into small pieces. Slice the lemon in half. Set aside.
  4. Using scissors, cut down the center of each shell. With your fingers, pull the shell away until it breaks away from the meat. Do this until the shell is completely removed from the meat. Discard shell. Chop the lobster into small pieces.
  5. Add 3 tbsp. butter to small microwavable bowl. Microwave for 1 minute or until butter is melted.
  6. Toss chopped lobster in butter. Add onion powder, chopped garlic, lemon juice, chopped celery and mayonnaise to bowl. Stir well with spoon. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Toast 4 buns in oven at 250 degrees for 3-4 minutes. Remove from oven.
  8. Add lobster mixture to each bun.
  9. Heat 1 tbsp. butter in small microwavable bowl. Take an unused paintbrush and brush the melted butter onto each bun. Not only will this increase its flavor value, but it will glisten!
  10. Now grab a blanket and take your picnic outside! Enjoy one of the most beloved foods of every seaside resident – best served with tortilla or potato chips and an ice-cold beer or a nice pop!

Upcycled Craft | Jellyfish Water Bottle

Pin to Pinterest

This is a fun upcycled craft for the kids. Reuse an old water bottle and cut it down to create this fun jellyfish water bottle. We luckily didn’t have to buy anything because all the supplies were laying around our home. We love the blue and orange contrast but you could have fun create rainbow legs with pinks, yellows, greens, oranges, blues and more. This is a fun idea for Earth Day on March 20th. We also think it’s a cute idea to take into the preschool classroom for a summer craft session. Show us how yours turns out. We can’t wait to see!

Supplies:

  • Empty plastic bottle
  • A mix of blue and green craft paints
  • Foam paint brush
  • 1 1/2″ thick sheer orange ribbon
  • Hole puncher
  • Googly eyes
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue/hot glue gun


Directions:

  1. Cut the bottom of your water bottle off, about 3-4″ from the bottom and dry out the inside with a towel.
  2. Use a hole puncher to punch holes every 3/4″ across the open end edge.
  3. Squirt a small amount of blue and green paints onto a palette of a paper plate, paint the outside of your plastic bottle, and let dry.
  4. Cut your ribbon into 12″ pieces, place one piece at a time halfway into a punched hole, and tie into a knot until each hole has a ribbon.
  5. Carefully hot glue two googly eyes onto the front of your blue bottle.
