Roasted Corn & Veggie Street Tacos

Pin to Pinterest

If you read the blog, you know our love of tacos. We love tacos so much, we had to start twisting up recipes to not eat the “same old” recipe all the time. This taco recipe is fun. With a simple twist of lime and a touch of roasted corn, it’s delicious and and an often shared recipe.

Be sure to take a look at our 52 Week of Taco Tuesday.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups canned corn (about 15 oz)
• 2 cups canned black beans (about 15 oz)
• 1 cup rice
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 tomato diced
• 1 avocado sliced
• shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• Dash of pepper
• 6 tortillas
• Lime wedges

Directions:

1. In a pot, bring 2 cups lightly salted water to boil.
2. Add the rice reduce to a simmer with the lid closed.
3. Let it simmer until all the water is gone or about 15 minutes.
4. Remove from the heat and let it it for 5 minutes.
5. Mince the garlic, and add it to a nonstick skillet with vegetable oil on medium-high heat.
6. Add corn; cook 8 to 10 minutes or until corn starts to brown, stirring occasionally (we made the mistake of not roasting until the brown edging appeared.)
7. Stir in chili powder, salt and pepper to the corn.
8. Evenly mix corn and rice together in a bowl.
9. Slice the avocado, and tomato. Set aside.
10. Warm the black beans in the microwave.
11. Prepare the tortillas with the rice, corn, black beans, tomato, avocado, garlic, and Parmesan cheese.
12. Top each individual taco with a touch of lime as needed.
13. Serve and enjoy.

Bunco Recipe Idea – Dice Cookies

Pin to Pinterest

Raise your hand if your bunco night is less about the dice and more about the food and time spent with friends? I don’t know about you, but when bunco night comes around and it’s my time to host, I am often struggling for the best recipe idea. These dice cookies can be used with a girls’ bunco night or have fun making them with the kids to celebrate a family game night!

Bunco: (also Bunko or Bonko) is a game played in teams with three dice. The game is played with two or more people often in teams of two. An ideal game has three tables of four people (12 people total), with two people at each table on a team for a total of six teams. The goal of the game is to get the Bunco (three matching dice) for a total of 21 points. The team with the most points wins.

What You Need:

• Decorating bags
• Parchment paper
• Square Cookie Cutter or use a knife

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup softened butter
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 2 cups + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• Tube black icing
• 16 oz creamy vanilla frosting

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325° and line a couple baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Use a hand mixer to beat your butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Mix in your vanilla and almond extract and egg.
4. Then mix your flour in and continue to mix until your ingredients start sticking together.
5. Roll your dough out onto a floured piece of parchment paper and use your square cookie cutters to cut out your dice shapes and place onto your lined baking sheets.
6. Bake for 8-10 minutes (depending on how thick your dough squares are) and let cool.
7. Fill one decorating bag with your black icing and one with your vanilla frosting and cut the tips off.
8. Frost a white outline on each square, fill in, and smooth your frosting out.
9. Now draw small circles onto the white squares for the dice numbers.

Brown Bear Cookies

Pin to Pinterest

I love this dessert because it has many uses. First, it’s a fun winter food craft for the kids. Second, we are huge Eric Carle Fans and it reminds me of the Brown Bear book. Finally, it fits perfectly for a bear theme party. Have fun making these cookies from scratch. The recipe yields about 36 cookies. If you are in a pinch for time, use a sugar cookie package mix.

Ingredients:

• 6 cups flour
• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 cup butter, softened to room temperature
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 cups sour cream
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract

Chocolate Frosting Ingredients:

• Wilton dark brown chocolate candy melts
• Wilton candy eyes
• Mini Nilla Wafers
• Brown M&M’s

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Combine the flour and baking powder and set aside.
3. In a large bowl combine the butter, sugar, egg, sour cream and vanilla. Slowly fold in the flour and baking powder mixture.
4. Scoop the cookie dough into 2″ balls and place about 2″ a part on a large baking sheet. Use a flat bottom glass to gently press (flatten) each dough ball to about 1/4″. Consider laying on parchment paper.
5. Bake 6-8 minutes.
6. Once the cookies have cooled, generously frost each one with chocolate frosting and set aside.
7. Place 2 chocolate candy melts on the cookie for the bears ears.
8. Give each cookie 2 eyes.
9. Place 1 mini Nilla Wafer on the bottom of the cookie for the bear’s snout.
10. Place a small dab of chocolate frosting on the brown M&M’s and give the bear a nose.

*Makes approximately 36 cookies
