Welcome to this week’s Foodie Friends Friday Noodle Linky Party! This week we are asking you to use your noodle. In a recipe of course! But I think a macaroni craft is equally welcomed.
But before we start let’s congratulate last week’s winners!
HOST FAVORITES
NOW ON TO THE PARTY!
Chili is one of those dishes many of us have on our go to list. Quick and easy. I keep the basics on hand, tomato paste, spices, canned tomatoes and beans. Sometimes the meat gets switched up or left out. Beans maybe, maybe not. You know that’s the thing about chili. It is comfort food anyway you like it.
How you like it is what this week’s Sunday Supper Chili Cook-Off is all about! The winner gets a free ticket to the fabulous Food and Wine Conference coming July 18th through 20th and a $25 visa card! I attended last year and had a blast! Great food, sponsors and speakers. I met members face to face and learned so much! I’d love to go again this year. A free ticket ($275 value) would helpa lot!
My entry is a mild chicken chili made with ground chicken and hearty black beans. Its served over homemade fries. I use both with Idaho russet potatoes and sweetpotatoes. I like the way sweetpotatoes, black beans and tomatoes compliment each other.

Today is National Margarita Day and a few of my blogger friends are sharing some great recipes with you!
When Heather from girlichef.com invited me to join a Margarita party to celebrate National Margarita Day, I froze. She’s a great cook and cocktail creator. Stop by and check out her site.
I’ve never had tequila or a margarita but I have had a nonalcoholic version of this drink. I was totally lost at the idea of creating a drink. I decided I better stick to food.
This was going to be a fun recipe development. All I needed was a food I could feature with a lime and citrus profile.
It did take me a while to pick something. I ran the gamut of dishes I heard of before but never tried. I gave each a try minus tequila. When I went to add my recipe idea chicken was taken. Shrimp too.
Then it hit me. Something light would work. I adapted my Raspberry Mousse recipe for citrus and I think you’ll enjoy the refreshing taste. Lime, lemon and orange blend.
I served the chilled ones in sugar rimmed glasses. I thought it would be fun to eat them. Bite off some sugar from the rim. Eat a spoon of mousse. It really works. Fun fun!
The frozen ones I did not garnish. The texture is somewhere between ice cream and meringue.
Enjoy!

If there ever was a winter for a good hot drink, this is it. We’re experiencing a whirlwind winter here in PA. Record snow and ice and just crazy cold. Streets become ice skating rinks within minutes and the snow is piled 8 feet high in places. Tomorrow they are calling for “Freezing fog”. What the heck is that? I’m picturing the air as thick as cotton candy only wetter.
The Recipe ReDux challenged the group to come up with healthier versions of a new hot beverage or revised favorite belly warmer drink.
I’ve been on a cinnamon kick lately so mine had to include that warm spice for sure. Almond milk was next on the list, I’ve done a soy drink version that tasted like an oatmeal cookie. That drink was good in its own right and didn’t need any lightening up.
To the almond milk and cinnamon I added a little brandy and a hint of orange. I didn’t want a sugary drink so a bit of Monk Fruit in the Raw worked perfectly!
If you’re wondering why I would add whipped cream I have a surprise for you. That fluffy stuff is whipped almond milk with a bit of Monk Fruit in the Raw beaten in. It takes a while and a really cold bowl to get that effect but it is worth it. Think smooth, foamy cappuccino but without the coffee.
Hi and welcome to Cindy's Recipes and Writings! Relax and stay a while.
