Root Beer Barrel Ice Cream #FoodieExtravaganza

Posted on July 1, 2015 by Cindy Kerschner

Root Beer Barrel Ice Cream

During this first full month of summer Foodie Extravaganza is all about ice cream. We’re coming up with creative ice cream flavors for traditional ice cream, gelato, semi-freddo, and even popsicles!

We’ve been on a root beer kick lately with floats, shakes and Black Cow Cupcakes . Root beer barrels sneak into my purse and his pocket. Hmm, how did those get there?

Root Beer is a great flavor to enjoy as a cold ice cream treat. Crush a few root beer barrels and mix in and sprinkle on top for even more root beer goodness!

No cook and no eggs makes this a quicker version of creamy deliciousness!

Ice cream hint: whole milk or 2 percent added to the cream helps cut down on grainy texture. Skim milk produces more of an ice milk texture.

Chicken Sloppy Joe Pitas

Chicken Sloppy Joe Pitas

July at Weekday Supper is time to focus on Summer Vacation Recipes!

We may have time off to enjoy summer fun but we still need to eat. Squeezing meals in between swimming, biking, day trips, sun bathing, gardening and just being outside can be a challenge.

What do Vacation Meals mean to you?

  • Recipes that remind you of a summer vacation.
  • Meals to make while the kids are out of school.
  • Meals to make while vacationing at a place with a kitchen (great for those on tight budgets).

All these ideas probably apply at one time or another. Chicken Sloppy Joe Pitas cook up fast and fit into your busy schedule. One pan meal that’s ready in about 20 minutes. You can chop the celery and onion a day ahead to save time.

Smoky Potato Pie Cups #SundaySupper

Posted on June 28, 2015 by Cindy Kerschner

This post is sponsored by the Idaho Potato Commission in conjunction with a social media campaign through Sunday Supper LLC. All opinions are my own.

When Idaho® potatoes throws a party, everyone is invited! Hi Spuddy Buddy!

We all know how great Idaho® potatoes are for you. One Idaho® potato provides 45% of your Daily Vitamin C needs. These tubers are high in potassium and good source of Vitamin B6, fiber, phytochemicals and antioxidants. A fat free, cholesterol free, heart healthy, low calorie way to more nutritional meals.

Today Sunday Supper is bringing you appetizers made with delicious Idaho® potatoes!

I made Smoky Potato Pie Cups for everyone. This recipe makes 24 bite-sized cups. I added a smoked almond to each cup just for fun!

Smoky Potato Pie Cups with almonds

These cups are easy to make with a few simple ingredients. A mini muffin pan provides the perfect size to bake the shells.

I used a Linzer cookie cutter to get the scalloped edges but any small glass or cookie cutter will do. Poke a few holes in the bottom and sides of each cup to keep the pie dough in place. Holes also stop bubbles and uneven baking.

These cups bake fast and are ready to fill with delicious cheesy potato filling.

Not all potatoes are the same. Look for the genuine  Idaho® potatoes seal on your next shopping trip. This seal assures you those russets, reds, fingerlings and golds were grown in Idaho’s rich soil and experienced the perfect potato growing climate.
