Iced Coffee (Cheaper and Better than Starbucks!)

Enjoy this guest post.

Well, it's not really a guest post. If you want to read it -- you'll have to visit her website.

Not only that, she doesn't know who I am. She has no idea that I'm sending people to read her blog.

I think if she knew, I think she'd want to gussy up for your visit!

Not my image . . . I drink mine too fast to get a picture!

When I read her entry on "The Perfect Iced Coffee" I knew it was going to be a hit!

I've already made my batch of yummy coffee concentrate -- and in 2 days I've made 7 delicious drinks!

I'm not telling a lie when I say they weren't all for me!

For a great read and the recipe for the perfect iced coffee, go to http://www.thepioneerwoman.com/

Under the cooking tab, it's called "The Perfect Iced Coffee" from June 13. Also, the last time I checked, on her home page, on the right hand side was a quick link. Use that . . . so you can get to the facts faster and get your own brew made!

In case you want to make this delicious brew, but you don't want the large amount, the ratio is:

8 oz of ground coffee to 1 gallon of water

OR (for an even smaller amount):

4 oz of ground coffee to 8 cups of water

OR (for your own treat and nobody else):

2 oz of ground coffee to 4 cups of water

I also added some Torani coffee syrup in my drink. . . because I'm fancy that way! You can find these syrups at Wal-Mart, Target, or most grocery stores.

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

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice! Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup 3-4 chicken breasts; cooked and shredded (or whole chicken; cooked & shredded) olive oil 1 c onion, chopped 1 c bell pepper, chopped 1 c celery, chopped 1 c carrots, chopped 1/2 T minced garlic 2 t cumin 2 t coriander 1 t paprika 1 t red chili powder 1 T oregano 1/2 t cayenne (adjust to your taste) 1 28-oz can diced to

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK. Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity. It is a wonderful experience! And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant. It's delish! So back to the casserole. After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe! The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret! It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr. Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure! When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy! Especial
