Pin to Pinterest

This S’mores milkshake is a drinkable version of everyone’s favorite dessert. First we roast (broil) our marshmallows and then blend them with ice cream, cream, milk, syrup, and graham crumbs. We have a feeling you won’t be sharing when you prepare this dessert. We also think Santa would appreciate it if you left him out one (wink!)

Ingredients:

• 16 Marshmallows
• 6 Scoops vanilla ice cream
• 4 Cups milk
• ½ Cup heavy cream
• ¼ Cup chocolate syrup
• Chocolate shavings
• Graham crumbs
• Mini marshmallows

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees with the broiler setting on. Place the 16 marshmallows in a baking pan and take to the oven.
2. Let them roast (about 8 minutes) and take out of the oven.
3. In a blender place ice cream, heavy cream and milk and pulse until combined.
4. Add the roasted marshmallows and the chocolate syrup and pulse until everything is mixed.
5. Pour into glasses and decorate with the mini marshmallows, graham crumbs and chocolate shavings. We added some nutmeg to ours.
6. Serve and enjoy.

Tips: You can substitute the chocolate syrup for 4 Tbsp cocoa powder + 2 Tbsp sugar.

Best Asian Pineapple Meatballs Recipe

Pin to Pinterest

I love a good savory meal. I am not sure there are many people who would not agree with me on that. I also love a meal that brings great flavors but doesn’t take many hours for me to make on a week night. The quicker the better.

Recently I worked with Cans Get You Cooking and was inspired by their “Cantry” pantry focus. How many times is your family ready for dinner and you have no idea where to begin? Did you know this fact? 60% of moms think that coming up with dinner ideas is more difficult than getting their children to go to bed on time. This is true for me! With canned food staples like canned fruits, veggies, broth and sauces on-hand, you can easily make it a Cantry night! Cans seal in foods’ natural goodness and nutrition so it’s there for you any time. Not only are they available and fresh, but they cut the prep process by a lot – that speaks volumes to me!

This Asian Dinner Entree is a big hit. Using 4 canned ingredients, meatballs, and brown sugar and sauce this meal is basically a dump, heat, and eat dinner recipe. It’s simple and will become part of the regular dinner routine.

Best Asian Pineapple Meatballs Recipe

Ingredients:

• 14 oz can Jellied Cranberry Sauce
• 2 cups Light Brown Sugar
• 13.5 oz Jar Chili Sauce
• 2 lbs Frozen Meatballs
• 1 lb 4 oz Canned Pineapple Chunks or Tidbits
• 15 oz Canned Whole Spear Baby Corn
• 8 oz  Canned Water Chestnuts

Directions:

1. In a large pot stovetop on medium heat, add 2 lbs frozen meatballs.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together your cranberry sauce, chili sauce, and brown sugar.
3. Pour your sauce mix on top of your frozen meatballs and stir.
4. Cook on medium heat for 20 minutes.
5. Now mix in your pineapple chunks, baby corn, and water chestnuts and stir.
6. Cook for a remaining 10-15 minutes
7. Serve over a bed of white rice and enjoy!

Serves: 8 people

Canned foods can be a hallmark of a healthy diet. An analysis of NPD data shows that adults and children who ate 6+ canned food items over two weeks were more likely to meet or exceed their recommended daily allowance for 17 essential nutrients than those who ate 1-2 canned food items over the same two-week period. To me, it can be as easy as eating a healthy rounded diet at home or resorting to takeout or go out to eat because I don’t have the ingredients on-hand to make dinner! If I didn’t have the above ingredients at home, it would only be a quick 15 minute run to the store and plenty of money saved in the store over running to my nearest restaurant trying to fill an entire family’s likes and tastes. That adds up, on both calories and price!
