Refreshing and delicious, this Frozen Watermelon Daquiri from @stripedspatula is perfect for cooling off on a hot summer’s day or night! I’ve tried a few recipes, but this one from Amanda over at Striped Spatula was my favorite! I liked the addition of orange juice, which enhanced all the other flavors. 

For this recipe, I used my Deluxe Cooking Blender, and to freeze the watermelon, I used my Large Reusable Storage Bag:

Deluxe Cooking Blender

Best Blender for Smoothies—and Soup!

Blenders aren’t just for smoothies anymore. Our innovative blender has settings that heat up to 220˚F (104˚C), which means it doesn’t just blend—it cooks. With a cooking blender, you can make everything from smoothies and milkshakes to soups, jams, alternative milks, and nut butters. With eight preprogrammed settings and two custom settings, there’s no guesswork. The pitcher has a 6-cup capacity for hot food and 7-cup capacity for cold food, and comes with a tamper, dual-sided cleaning brush, strainer bag, boil-over guard, and a cooking guide with more than 60 recipes.

Roasted Cranberry Bourbon Crush – Take Two Tapas (Video)

This delicious Roasted Cranberry Bourbon Crush from Jennifer over @taketwotapas is delicious!  Roasting the cranberries in honey and a touch of balsamic vinegar adds a depth of flavor to this delicious cocktail, it’s a perfect drink to usher in the New Year!

Thank you, all of you, who stop by to check out my little blog!  As we end this year, I want to take this moment to say that I am grateful for each and every one of you.  May the coming year bring you an abundance of joy, laughter and, of course, great food!!

This, my final recipe of the year, comes from Jennifer over at Take Two Tapas.  You can learn more about Jennifer and her blog here.  While we enjoy cocktails with cranberry juice, this was the first time I ever tried roasting cranberries for a beverage – it was delicious!!  I adjusted the original recipe to suit our taste, but you could certainly add more (or less) of any of the ingredients to suit your preference.

I made my own cranberry juice, which is why it is such a vibrant cranberry red.  I used my Deluxe Cooking Blender, alternate milk setting, which only took 5 minutes.  Yum! To roast the cranberries, I used my Medium Stone Bar Pan:

Medium Stone Bar Pan

Perfect When Cooking for Two

This pan is just the right size for packaged brownie and bar cookie mixes, biscuits, delicious dinners for two, roasting vegetables, or reheating leftovers that are better than ever. Plus, it fits in most toaster ovens. Because the unglazed cooking surface draws moisture away, your baked goods, breads, and frozen foods turn out light and crispy every time. The new handle design makes it easy to take in and out of the oven.

Natural Clay Cookware

Our unglazed stoneware is made with our new StoneFusion material making it our strongest and most durable stoneware yet. You can pre-heat, broil, and even put it in the dishwasher. Each piece features a ribbon pattern, so you can easily distinguish it from your original unglazed stones. Like all our stones, you can use it to make your favorite baked goods, frozen foods, or reheated leftovers that are just as good or better than day one. And it only gets better with age. A nonstick seasoning will develop as you use it—the darker it looks, the better it cooks!
