Culinary Favorites From A to Z, The Blog

The first class of Rocket Moms is preparing to graduate in the next couple of weeks. They have been busy cooking up a storm…how is that for a segue into this week’s great recipe and food finds from the group Culinary Favorites From A to Z?

Well, I have to be fair and say that a recipe lens was only one of six assignments that the Rocket Moms have been working on.  However, it is one that has created a host of wonderful new recipe submissions to the Culinary Favorites group.  Today I’m going to share five of the many great Rocket Moms recipes that have joined the group (plus one of my own Rocket Mom recipes.)  I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did.

Jen, who writes on Squidoo as Wysiwigs, shared her recipe for 7 Layer Bars. She claims that the recipe for this square is ‘easy as pie’ and her excellent step-by-step pictures just might prove that true!  That’s one thing that some of the members of this first crop of Rocket Moms is doing extremely well  – using lots of their own pictures.

Achiote-Roasted Pork Tacos with Pickled Red Onions by NanLT is a delicious Mexican recipe that can be eaten with a fork!  Perfect for when you are having company, like Nan’s inlaws and my sister who really do prefer not to eat ‘messy’ food.

Bundt Cake Recipes, by Alison who writes as EverythingMouse, is a nicely focused lens with a number of recipes for your bundt pan.  Alison says these “really popular cakes are easy to make with just a little time.” I’m going to have to rescue my Grandmother’s bundt cake pan from obscurity in the basement.

Paula, who writes as lakeerieartists, crafted Mexican Avocado Soup and a Side of Corn Bread which is a chilled avocado soup that sounds perfect for a summer meal although I have to admit I’ve never tried a cold soup. She’s even managed to find the a perfect avocado-shaped bowl to serve it in!

The EASY Way To Make Iced Tea is Shelby’s secret way to make iced tea.  It is a ‘cheat’ of sorts that allows you to save the time required to make traditional iced tea.  Her lens is really a great product review of Lipton Cold Brew. If you like iced tea and love the idea of saving a bit of time, check out this page. Shelby writes as TwinsMama.

One of my own Rocket Moms recipe pages is my humorous The Best-Ever Hawaiian Punch Recipe. It wasn’t meant to be funny but, in the end it was and no, I wasn’t drinking any rum-based drinks while I was writing it.

There is a complete list of Rocket Mom recipe lens at Showing off the RocketMoms “Recipe” Lenses if you are interested in seeing the entire collection. The recipe pages from this class are top notch and deserve an A+ from the teacher!

Enjoy!!!
