Mocha Frappuccino

(This is DELISH! I decided to try to find something similar to Starbucks frappuccino. Those happen to be my weakness!! Now, I always add an espresso shot, so I like mine strong. This recipe does the trick and saves me MONEY!)

Brew a pot of double strength dark roast coffee, the darker, the better. (I actually brewed a full pot and then poured it into a glass jar and stored it in my refrigerator so that it’s already chilled and I don’t have to brew a fresh pot every day.)

Chill the coffee in the refrigerator, since frappuccinos are typically served cold.

Blend ½ cup coffee, ½ cup of milk, 2 tbsp of sugar and 2 tbsp of chocolate syrup in a blender until mixed. (I use a personal sized blender and had to tweak this down a little because once I added the ice, it wouldn’t all fit. I used 3 ounces of each.)

Add ice to fill cup and blend with the mixture until smooth.

Pour into a serving cup. Top with whipped topping and chocolate syrup.

Tuna Melt

(I found this online here (with many other yummy recipes) and made it for lunch. I loved it. I was fantastic. It was quick to prepare and the sour cream spread with the melted cheese was creamy and added an exciting combination.)

2 tbsp light sour cream

¼ tsp garlic salt

2 slices of wheat bread

3 oz tuna, drained

1 tbsp light mayo

Shredded cheese, to liking

1 tbsp butter

Combine sour cream with garlic salt; spread on one side of each slice of bread. In a small bowl; combine tuna and mayo, top one slice of bread. Top with cheese and cover with remaining slice of bread. Melt butter, add sandwich and cook until bread is browned and cheese is melted.

Cheddar Biscuits

(A friend on Facebook posted this delishiously similar recipe to Red Lobsters Cheese and Garlic Biscuits. They are surprisingly very close and simple to make. My family LOVED these, especially my husband!)

2 cups Bisquick

2/3 cup milk

½ cup shredded cheddar

¼ cup butter

¼ cups garlic powder

Mix Bisquick and cheese; add milk. Spoon on a greased cookie sheet, bake at 425 for 8 to 10 minutes.  Brush with melted butter and garlic powder. Makes about 10.
