Blueberry Strawberry Swirl Sherbet #SundaySupper

Blueberry Strawberry Swirl Sherbet
Four ingredients make this Blueberry Strawberry Swirl Sherbet so easy and so good! Wild blueberries, strawberry preserves, vanilla and sweetened condensed milk seal the deal. Add a dollop of whipped cream and you have sweet, Red, White and Blue treat.

Blueberry Strawberry Swirl Sherbet

Years ago when my daughter was just starting out on her own, her stepdad and I would throw parties outside for family and friends. Every warm weather holiday from Memorial Day through Labor Day consisted of a picnic of sorts. I’d make massive mounds of potato salad and macaroni salad. Cole slaw, watermelon and assorted beers, wine, soda, iced tea and iced coffee made their was to table.
Picnics and bbqs at our house were a must. A day of fun with volleyball, beanbags, music and just hanging out.
Everyone comes and goes as they want. Food was always available. You eat what you want.
Most times the evening ended in backyard fireworks.

Well, maybe not that spectacular! 😉

Desserts back then were cookies painted with red, white and blue icing. Sometimes a cake would appear with red, white and blue frosting. Rocket ice pops were popular as an ice cold treat for kids and adults.

Nowadays the large backyard picnics are over. But I still enjoy to celebrate with a bit of Red, White and Blue.
Blueberry Strawberry Swirl Sherbet takes the goodness of wild blueberries and sweetened condensed milk and makes a smooth, creamy sherbet.

Don’t forget to add some white. A large squirt of whipped cream is just the thing!

Red, White and Blueberry Bars #FillTheCookieJar

Red, White and Blueberry Bars_

Welcome to another Fill The Cookie Jar Event!

Every month our #FillTheCookieJar cookie loving group meets to share our best cookies and bars to fit the theme. This month we will be sharing cookies that show your Red, White and Blue and summer holiday spirit!



Thank you Cynthia Landrie from  Feeding Big at http://FeedingBig.com for hosting this fun event!

Red, White and Blueberry Bars stack wild, dried blueberry shortbread with a layer of ripe strawberry preserves and topped with creamy vanilla frosting!

This was definitely a tough theme to tackle for a cookie or bar. Shortbread dotted with specks of blue reminded me of a flag. Shortbread tends to be dry, so I need a moist gooey layer. A jar of strawberry preserves in the fridge fit the bill!
A nice thick layer worked perfectly!

Oh yeah, I needed a layer of white. Meringue was too much work. I wanted to dig into these bars! Frosting added just the right amount of sweet, smooth texture.
The cool thing is this party recipe is so easy! You now have July 4th, Labor Day, Flag Day and Memorial Day potlucks covered.
No need to thank me, just send cookies!

Barbecue Beef Skillet Cornbread #SundaySupper #RootsInBoots

This week Sunday Supper takes LIVE out to the Blythe Angus Ranch, Wichita, Kansas in search of some good ‘ole Cowboy Cooking. We’ll be joining Certified Angus Beef® brand for some fun, Cowboy style!

Debbie Lyons-Blythe is our Blythe Angus Ranch hostess. You can learn more about living on the ranch at her blog, Kids, Cows and Grass

Here are some important things to know about Certified Angus Beef® brand and their farmers and ranchers:

● Ranching isn’t just a profession; it’s a way of life. America’s farmers and ranchers take
great pride in caring for their cattle and guiding the next generation. Ranchers care for
their cattle 24/7 and holidays, too!
● Sustainability is a top priority for farmers and ranchers across the country. They care for
cattle, water and land. They want to leave the ranch better than when they found it.
● #CertifiedAngusBeef quality begins at the ranch, continues to the restaurant or retailer
and finally, to your dinner table.
● The #CertifiedAngusBeef story is one of community – from farmers and ranchers to the
folks who bring it to your dinner table.

So what is Cowboy Cooking you ask? (and I’m glad you did) According to Cowboy Kent Rollins (THE modern day authority on Cowboy cooking) it’s hearty food, not fancy!

Kent and Shannon Rollins facebook photo

Kent and his wife Shannon carry on the tradition of cooking on a Chuckwagon as they make their way across the country feeding hungry cowboys and cowgirls with recipes like Chicken Fried Steak, Sparkly Taters (add beef!), and Green Pepper Frito Pie.
I’m so excited to have had Kent and Shannon cook us a traditional Chuck Wagon meal!

The recipes do not have to be made over a campfire (but they can be)! Oven recipes are acceptable as well as grilled recipes and recipes made in cast iron!

I’m hosting this fun event and ready to hit the trail! Let’s go!

Out in the open prairie you are limited to food supplies, cooking options and of course refrigeration.

Certified Angus Beef® brand ranch families spend a lot of time moving cattle from one grazing area to another. How they raise their cattle while sustaining the last wild grass prairies is amazing!
One thing is for sure. Cowboys and Cowgirls work up an appetite!
Simple wholesome food is a win win all the way around.
Don’t forget the beans! Throw a ham hock or bacon and some onions in the pot and simmer.

I made my cornbread in a cast iron skillet.

Home cooks can bake this in the oven or on the grill. If you got skills, you can make it on a charcoal pit fire. I leave that kind of direct cooking to the cowhands.
For the Beef Barbecue I used Certified Angus Beef® brand mock tender steaks.

These chuck cuts can be cooked low and slow so it shreds easily. You can make the beef in a crockpot, or skillet. Add some beef broth and simmer.
Homemade barbecue sauce is so easy to make. I included a base recipe you can add what you need to make it your own. A few drops of hot sauce, maybe extra honey or hickory smoke.

Put it all together and dig in!
