Orange Juice Punch Recipe

Orange Juice Punch Recipe


Orange Juice Punch Recipe

This is the best punch ever.
The past 2 years we have made it for Christmas and Easter morning 
but I crave it every day in between. 

Its called orange juice punch but it is really a mouth full of slushie, tropical goodness.
It makes your taste buds dance when you drink it. 

So grab some cute helpers and lets get started. 

Ingredients: (this makes 2 big batches of punch)
2- 12 ounce cans orange juice concentrate (thawed a bit)
1- 12 ounce can lemonade concentrate (thawed a bit)
1- 46 ounce can Dole pineapple juice
6 cups water
2 cups sugar
6 ripe bananas  
2- 2 liter bottles of 7 up (add when ready to serve)

 Directions-
In a food processor, blend bananas, sugar and one cup water.
In a large bowl, add remaining ingredients with the mixture from the food processor (except 7 up) and stir until mixed together well.
Place a double zip lock bag (gallon size) in a bowl to hold its shape, fill bag with mixture to the top and zip back up.
Place bowl with mixture in freezer and when frozen take mixture out of bowl (in the ziplock bag). 
This recipe should make 2 full ziplock bags of punch mix.
This mixture can be made days or weeks before you need it for your party and stored in your freezer.

When you are ready to make your punch...
Take one bag of frozen mixture out of the freezer and put it in a serving bowl to defrost for one hour.
When ready to serve, pour a bottle of 7 up over frozen (kind of defrosted) mixture and stir/break up chunks of frozen mixture until the whole thing becomes a big, delicious slushie.
Enjoy!!

Nutella Drop Cookies Novembers Secret Recipe Club

Nutella Drop Cookies Novembers Secret Recipe Club


 For the month of November I had the honor of meeting Sally from Bewitching Kitchen through the Secret Recipe Club.  I have often seen her gorgeous food throughout my travels in food blogging and have admired her adventure and passion that she shares with her food and her stories on her blog.  She is originally from Brazil but has had the opportunity to live in Paris, France along with the U.S. in California so her exposure to delicious foods has a very wide range.  You can see this clearly in her recipes that she shares with all of her tasty Brazillian recipes to her gorgeous breads - many of which came inspired from her life in France. 

Unfortunately, my time was limited in the kitchen today.  If I had had more time I would have made Sallys gorgeous Cinnamon Wreath bread.  Instead I made her delicious and very simple Nutella Drop Cookies.
 
 
 
 
 
In a jiffy these cookies came to life with just a few ingredients.  And as my oldest daughter exclaimed so well, "my goodness those cookies look like scoops of ice cream!"  As they did!  They held their "ice cream" shape perfectly even after they were baked.
 
 
 
 
A batch of these cookies would go perfectly with a hot cup of tea on a cold Winter night.  Tender in texture and sweet on the tongue.  I know you will enjoy this recipe just as much as I did!
 
 
 
 
Nutella Drop Cookies  
(recipe from Bewitching Kitchen)
 
Ingredients:
 
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1/2 cup Nutella, at room temperature
powdered sugar for dusting
 
Directions:
 
1. Preheat oven to 350.  Line cookie sheets with parchement paper and set aside.
 
2. Cream together butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy - about 3-4 mintues.  Add in vanilla extract and mix to combine.
 
3. Gradually add in flour until combined and then the Nutella.
 
4. Scoop cookie dough by the tablespoon or a small cookie scoop onto prepared cookie sheets.  Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookie edges start to flatten slightly. Cool cookies 5 minutes before removing from sheets.  Once cookies are completely cooled dust with powdered sugar if you wish.  Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
 
Enjoy!
 
 
 
Happy Nutella Drop Cookie Baking!
