Cake Balls

Have you ever heard of cake balls? I hadn't until back in July when I went to my Best Friends Baby Shower. Her Shower was catered and one of the items were decadent little Cake Balls. I have been dreaming of them ever since. I haven't found a place locally to buy them, but online you can buy them at The Cake Ball Company. But you'll be hurting financially after buying some there, 36 cost $80! So, either tomorrow or Tuesday I'm going to try my hand at making some. And I'll blog my recipe and experience so you don't have to spend your whole grocery budget on one little treat! I bought the ingredients tonight at our local Walmart for a total of $6.33. That is a whole lot cheaper than $80 for pre-made ones!

I'm So Happy

I finally found a quick and easy way to make Rice Milk! The last time I tried to make rice milk I blew my blender up! This recipe is even better for you because it is raw! You don't even have to cook the rice! So this is how I did it!

Rice Milk

Ingredients

• 1 cup brown rice
• 4 cups water
• stevia to taste

Instructions

1. Pour rice and water in a bowl with lid, refrigerate overnight.
2. Blend the rice and water on high with a stick blender for about two minutes or in a regular blender for about one minute.
3. Strain through a cheese cloth, blend in some stevia to taste.
4. Store in a glass jar in the refrigerator.

Friday In the Kitchen

This was this past Friday in the kitchen, this completes one week in my kitchen.
Sorry I'm three days late with this post.
Friday was very simple.
We had left over Chicken and Rice Soup for Lunch.

And for Dinner we had Potato Chip Chicken Casserole with green beans.

Thursday (not) In the Kitchen

Today was my Husband's and my Anniversary
and we spent our day visiting Huntington, West Virginia.
Therefor, I wasn't at home to cook.
I wanted to take him out to his favorite place!
Red Lobster!
He ordered the Ultimate Feast!

And I ordered the Cajun Chicken Linguine Alfredo.

It was really late on our way home
so we stopped by a Dairy Queen
and picked up a Cheeseburger and a Treat.

Wednesday In the Kitchen

Today for Lunch we had left over Chicken Tacos.

And for dinner we had BBQ Chicken Bacon Cheese Fries.
First I peeled and cut up the potatoes and got them going in the oven.
Boiled the Chicken, Fried the Bacon, Shredded the Chicken, Crumbled the Bacon.
When the fires where ready I poured half a bottle of BBQ sauce on them,
then added the Chicken and poured on the rest.
Sprinkled on one cup of Mozzarella Cheese and then the Bacon.
Put it back in the oven to heat.

Delicious!

Tuesday In the Kitchen

Today we had Chicken Quesadillas for Lunch!

And I used up the rest of the Chicken saved back from the
Whole Chicken by making Chicken Tacos!
We still have plenty of Chicken and Rice Soup left over too!
That whole Chicken has been very economical for us!!!

My Husband's favorite is Hard Shells and Mine is Soft!

Monday In the Kitchen

Today for lunch I had a BBQ Chicken Pizza made on a tortilla crust and Watermelon on the side, sorry I forgot to take pictures.

And for Dinner we had Crisp Yummy Chicken Quesadillas!

Banana Cake

I finally got around to making my husband a Birthday Cake.

His Birthday was this past week.

I would have to say that this was the best cake I have ever made.

It was so moist.

The candles where from last year's Birthday.

Twenty Six!

All the candles wouldn't light.

The candles always leave wax behind.
I wonder if its bad for us?

I was trying to get a good picture of the speckles inside the cake.

Chili

I got up early this morning and cooked chili. They are having a chili cook off at my husbands work place today. This is the first time I entered, my Husband asked me to! They even have judges, judging the chili! They should be judging it anytime now! I should have took pictures! lol I'll let you know how it goes!
