Chipotle Barbacoa
This chipotle barbacoa is as close to a certain big chain's version as I have ever made. It is full of intense flavors such as garlic, cayenne, and sweet, smoky chipotle. Make sure you scale down the cayenne and serrano if you can't handle the heat because this recipe is packin' lots of it! Serve on corn or flour tortillas garnished with cilantro and topped with lime cilantro rice (from this website), black beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, cheese, lettuce, and sour cream.
Coconut Cupcakes
A white cake recipe with a coconut twist. I had some coconut in my fridge that needed to be used, and this is what I came up with. If you want a more intense coconut flavor, add a teaspoon or two of coconut extract. Try putting your coconut in a food processor or blender if you prefer a smoother-textured cupcake. This is the first recipe I've come up with on my own, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Moose Milk
This moose milk recipe is great for New Year's Eve parties. Being a military brat, I've seen this delicious concoction with copious amounts of alcohol and ice cream offered at many parties. It's like an alcoholic milkshake, but be prepared for a hangover if you drink too much!
