My Mexican Vanilla Quest

I can't remember which happened first; if Jack and Marsha brought back this incredible vanilla or if I asked them to bring me back a bottle of vanilla.  Either way, I ended up with this giant bottle of clear vanilla and it didn't take long that when I knew they were headed to Mexico I always asked them to stock me up!  Now that my supplier and I don't live close to one another, I've had to try to find it myself!  The quest has been long and disappointing!  I've looked in more Mexican markets than I care to realize, I've looked in up-scale kitchen stores, and I've asked friends!  WHOA!  I finally found Amy; she knew exactly what I was talking about -- it was her favorite too!  The Danncy Clear Mexican Vanilla is perfect -- not only is the vanilla great, but it also has just a smidge of  a cinnamon undertone and it is wonderful in everything you can think of!  Even during the heat of summer I like to put a teensy, teensy drop of the vanilla in my ice cold water for a little change of taste!

Finding it in stores is impossible.  So, if you are making a trip to Mexico you need to be sure to drop a bottle or two of this in your bag to bring home.  The only thing you'll be sorry about is that you didn't bring more!  But, if a Mexican get-a-way isn't in your future, gather up some friends and order some Danncy Clear Vanilla.  (Last time I ordered, I could do single bottles.  When I did a quick glance it appears as thought you can only order a case of 12.) 

Ole!
Nothing fancy about Danncy!  It looks like a water bottle!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
