Blueberry Mango Smoothie

I love this because its sooo quick, easy, and healthy for you. I get so busy in the morning getting ready for work that I rarely eat breakfast but now that I have to take pills in the morning I get really sick if I dont eat something so this is great to whip up real fast and take to work. I wanted to do blackberries but they are so expensive and I couldnt find fresh ones at my grocery store so i figured i would use blueberries instead. I must say I really liked it. Its a bit tart but I like drinks like that so if you dont like tart things then I would add another fruit rather than blueberries. Hope you enjoy this drink and if you make it please comment below and tell me what you think :)
Ingredients:
1 cup of blueberries
1 cup of Mangos
1 cup non-fat yogurt
1 cup crushed ice

Combine in blender and blend until smooth.

It's that easy!

If you try this out please let me know how you liked it, if you made any changes and how it turned out!

Best Crockpot Pulled Pork

I'm going to be honest... I was sooo scared to make this because I didnt think it was going to turn out good AT ALL! I wouldnt even taste it at first, I made my Husband do it. Haha! Boy, was I wrong. It came out so good. It was so moist and very tasty. I'm definately making this again. If you didnt know already, i'm from Kansas City and KC is known for their BBQ so my family eats it a lot and they know whats good. If they loved it I know this recipe is something to brag about.

Ingredients

1/2 onion, chopped

6 garlic cloves, peeled

2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped (My grocery store was out so I bought a can of already chopped up jalapenos and used those)

4 teaspoons of chile powder

2 tablespoon tomato paste

4 tablespoons of dijon mustard

1 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar

2 teaspoons paprika

2/3 cup ketchup

4 teaspoons worcestershire sauce

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 bay leaf

pinch of salt

6 lbs of pork butt shoulder roast, trimmed of excess fat

Hamburger buns

BBQ Sauce

Directions

Puree all of the ingredients (except the bay leaf, vinegar, pork, and buns) in a blender until smooth. If you want you can marinate the pork in the sauce overnight before cooking.

Put sauce, bay leaf, vinegar, and pork into crockpot and add 1 quart of water. Cook appox for 8-10 hours. For the first 2 hours cook on high. You will know its done when it easily pulls apart with a fork. Drain all the sauce out (including the bay leaf) and pull pork apart with fork. Lastly add your favorite BBQ sauce and ENJOY!!!

Cupcake Cookies

I made them this way because I was impatient LOL! I was craving chocolate chip cookies but I didnt want to put the cookie dough in the refrigerator to let them harden then roll them into balls so I put them in cupcake liners. I actually liked it better like that.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 egg

1 egg yolk

2 cups chocolate chips

Directions

Prehead oven to 325 degrees F. Line cupcake pan with liners.

Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside

In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon.

Spoon into cupcake liners. Bake until golden brown or inserted toothpick comes out clean. Transfer to wire rack to cool.

ENJOY!!!

White Chicken Chili

This is pefect for a cold fall/winter day. I usually start making it around noon and let it sit all day so the flavours are really strong, and the chicken is tender and juicy. Please leave a comment and let me know how you like it or if you added anything different.

3 lbs chicken breast

8 cans northern beans

1 can rotel

2 (64oz) can chicken broth

1 can corn

3 pkgs white chicken chili seasoning

Cook chicken in large skillet (I use 1 pkg of chili seasoning and cook it with the chicken to flavour it better)meanwhile in large cooking pot add drained corn, beans (you can drain the beans if you want. If you don't your chili will be thicker.), rotel, chicken broth, and chili seasoning. When chicken is done add that into the cooking pot. Stir occasionally. Cook until heated.

ENJOY!!!

**This makes A LOT!! You will definitely have left overs. If you don't eat a lot i would suggest cutting the recipe in half.

Fudge Cake!!

2 years ago when I was planning my wedding, I went to a bridal show and fell in love with this cake that tasted almost exactly like fudge so I've been trying to find recipes for it and I finally found one and made it and it turned out amazing! If you're a chocolate lover, you will LOVE this!! Its very rich and also very moist! Hope you guys give it a try and let me know how you like it!

350grams Chocolate chips
2 1/4 sticks of butter
2 cups Water
2 cups of Caster (Superfine) Sugar (If you can't find caster sugar, just use regular sugar and put it in the blender).
2 cups of Self-Raising Flour
4 eggs
You will need a round bundt cake pan. (You can use just a round cake pan or square just make sure its deep)

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees
Gather the chocolates, butter and water and put it in a medium size saucepan. Stir frequently over low heat until all chocolates and butter are melted and looking very smooth. Set aside to cool.
Lightly beat eggs in a large bowl. Slowly pour the chocolate mixture into the eggs.
Add sugar and flour into the chocolate mixture, and continue mixing until well-blended.
Make sure to use baking paper (wax paper) so that it won't stick on the bottom and sides of your pan. (I used a silicon pan so I wouldn't have to use wax paper. See pic. below)

Bake for about 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into the center of cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool, before adding the frosting.

Chocolate frosting
300 grams Chocolate chips
2 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
Melt chocolate chips, butter and heavy cream over low heat, make sure to stir frequently until melted and very smooth. You can add more cream if you think the mixture is too thick.
ENJOY!!!

**This cake can be frozen for 4-6months.

** You can also make this cake with different flavours, just substitute the chocolate chips with chips of your choice.

Suggestions- After your frost the cake, I set it in the frig. for a few hours. If you eat it when its still warm its kind of gooey, which I didn't like. When its cold it seems to harden to the right consistency its suppose to be.
