Coffee Punch

This might not look so pretty in a stainless steel bowl, but the flavor is outstanding!  Tasted kind of like a cappuccino.  If I was at home, I would have served it in a pretty punch bowl, but in the Catskills we had to improvise!
We did have some lovely cups to serve it in and .......
.... some MANLY men to taste it!!
Hmmmmmm, you bet!  That is really tasty!!

Brownie Ganache with Berry Sauce

This recipe sounds like it would be difficult, but far from it.  If you want to impress your guests, whip this up!!  It starts with a store bought walmnut brownie mix, let them cool and then cut them into 20 squares.  Pour the homemade ganache over them and put them in the freezer to set.  You can leave them in the freezer until you are ready to serve them.
The berry sauce is also homemade, but extremely easy to do.  It tastes good on ice cream too!!  I left them frozen and took them to the Catskills trip.  They traveled well and so did the berry sauce.....just put them in a cooler with ice.  This dessert is so rich.....if you love chocolate and fruit......you are going to love this.

Stuffed Pepper Dip

I thought I would follow up the Stuffed Banana Peppers with something a little more simple and just as tasty as the suffed peppers.   Can you tell this one travels well?  I needed to take a dip along to the Catskills and I didn't want a whole lot of dishes leftover.  This was a throw away pan.  I served this with the stuffed peppers and the consensis was............they were both delicious!
This dip was a little easier to eat....all you needed were some chips and some hungry men!  (Thanks for posing Stephen and Tanner!!  (Thanks for the recipe Marissa!)

Stuffed Banana Peppers

I have enjoyed these at Julie Starr's house on a number of occasions!  We are so lucky that she has shared her recipe with us.  I couldn't believe it when the recipe called for 20 top 24 banana peppers.  I thought.....who is going to eat all these peppers??  Not to worry, they went like hot cakes!
I took some of them with us to the Catskills and I could have used more!  They really are delicious.  Too bad there wasn't a camera to watch me stuffing them with my cookie press.  I definitely could have used a few more hands.  I think next time I will use my Fun Gun....and yes that is an actual kitchen tool!

Grandma Carol's Chicken Wings

This is such a simple recipe!  It only has 4 ingredients.....however, it cooks for 3 hours in the oven so leave yourself some time!  Carol used to make these at our family get togethers, the plate was always empty by the end of the night.  My boys LOVE these!
They have a soy sauce base, so if you like Chinese, YOU will like these!
