Margarita Pie

July 27, 2011 By Taylor 6 Comments

I had you at Margarita right? If you know me at all you know how I feel about Margaritas.  Not only do I love Margaritas… I also love anything made with Greek Yogurt. So, I whipped up a pie. The recipe is from Oikos (the Greek Yogurt lid), I just added some Triple Sec :) 

Ingredients:

1 graham cracker crust
8 oz low fat cream cheese
1 cup  Vanilla Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Margarita Mix
3 Tbs. Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
1 Tbs. Triple Sec Liqueur 
 

Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, lime juice, margarita mix and Triple Sec and stir. Then, fold in the yogurt. Pour into a pie crust and freeze a few hours or until firm. I added sliced limes on top for funsies.

On the topic of cold food… anyone have any good recipes for “cold” dinners. I can’t think of anything to make lately because it is so hot here that a hot dinner sounds… hot. All I can think of is Greek Salad which we had tonight by the way. I can’t live of Greek Salad every night… ideas anyone?

Mexican Cheesecake

June 6, 2011 By Taylor 24 Comments

Disclaimer: do not blame me for how much you like this dessert because it is not low fat!
I like to take Mexican Cheesecake when I go somewhere and I know that I can’t eat more than one piece. In fact no one should even be allowed to have more than one piece because not only is it buttery and flaky, but the cream cheese makes it super rich. (I might know from personal experience that you will not feel good about yourself after two pieces). Anyway, I like it because it is very easy to make and its a crowd pleaser every time.
Ingredients:
2 (8oz) cans of Crescent Rolls
2 (8oz) Blocks of Cream Cheese – softened
2 cups Sugar (missed the cut for the pic?)
2 tsp Vanilla
1/2 cup Melted Butter
Cinnamon
Directions:
Spray a 9×13 pan with Pam and spread one of the cans of crescent rolls on the bottom of the pan.
Mix the 2 blocks of cream cheese, 1 cup of the sugar, and 1 tsp of vanilla until fluffy.
Spread the mixture on top of the crescent roll bottom. Roll out the other can of crescent rolls and place them on top of the other two layers. Press the edges to form a seal.
Melt the butter and remaining 1 cup of sugar together until sugar is dissolved. Add 1 tsp vanilla to the butter/sugar mixture. Pour that Mixture on top of cheesecake. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
Bake at 350 for 30 mins and enjoy

July 4th Trifle

July 4, 2010 By Taylor 1 Comment

I love my trifle dish so I use any excuse to break it out. In fact, I nominated myself to make the dessert for our 4th of July celebration at my Mom’s house. I stumbled across a recipe for a festive “cake” in my Parents Magazine. They have great recipes! I, of course had to modify it so I could use my trifle dish because I think a trifle looks so grown-up. It was super easy and is really beautiful!
Ingredients:
Angel Food Cake (baked with love from the grocery store)
16 oz strawberries
1 container of blueberries
Strawberry Ice Cream (I like Strawberries and Homemade Vanilla from Bluebell)
2 tbsp sugar
Directions:
-Set your Ice Cream out because it needs to be soft
-Wash and slice your strawberries and mix them with 1 tbsp sugar. Wash your blueberries and also mix with 1 tbsp sugar and let sit for about 20 minutes.
-Take your Angel food cake and slice it right down the middle horizontally.
-Then you layer in this order:
1/2 cake
strawberries
ice cream
blueberries
1/2 cake
(I had extra strawberries so I put them on top.)
-Place in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hrs and Enjoy.
