Great Snack/Beverage = No Alcohol-Bloody Mary Mix




My older daughter recently tried a version of Homemade Bloody Mary Mix that knocked her socks off!  She loves the stuff and actually prefers it without the alchohol!  Her friend who makes it, adds a little of this and a little of that but she was bound and determined to try to find a recipe that she could make "at Home her way" (smiling Momma here..) 

While Rebecca was describing this drink to me, I told her that I thought what she was drinking sounded like a great savory breakfast or snack beverage.  What are all those spinach and juice green smoothies after all, but a bunch of juice and veges blended up together?  Bloody Mary Mix is typically made with lots of tomato juice which is high in antioxidants anyway.  Add in some seasonings, lemon juice, lime juice, hot sauce, and you've got a spicy drink that is a great alternative for someone who is trying to avoid sugary drinks and snacks.  Add in a stalk of celery or a pickle and you have a real treat! 

Bloody Mary Mix has a crazy name, but the ingredients that make it up are really no different than spicy V-8 juice, right?  I had never really thought about making my own spicy vegetable juice, but what better way of sneaking in a couple of extra vegetables into your day?

Here's how we made No Alcohol - Bloody Mary Mix AT HOME MY WAY:

No-Alcohol Bloody Mary Mix
 
 
  • 3 cups tomato juice
  • 1 1/2 oz lemon juice (since 2 oz = 1/4 cup, we used a little less than 1/4 cup)
  • 1 1/2 oz lime juice
  • 1 Tablespoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 to 1 teasp. horseradish (we used 1/2 t. because our jar said "extra hot")
  • 3/4 teaspoon table salt
  • 1-2 teasp. Louisiana Hot Sauce (we used 1 teasp. and it wasn't hot at all)
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black ground pepper (the kind in  your pepper shaker)

Directions:  Blend all together well with spoon or whisk.  Refrigerate a few hours or overnight before serving over ice or very cold.

Best Dill Pickles EVER! (Just like Claussen) (Easy - no canning!)

Do you want to make the best, easiest homemade dill pickles in the world?   I found a recipe for dill pickles that tastes JUST LIKE Claussen refrigerator pickles.  Those are the best anyway, right?  That crunch, the dill and the garlic... and oh yea , the crunch!  This recipe is super easy because you  don't have to process these pickles which means there is no canning needed.   You just fill a gallon jar (we use an old pickle jar) with fresh cucumbers and dill heads, and then pour over the cooled liquids/seasonings.   Let it sit on the counter for three days, and then refrigerate.  After that, the pickle eating begins. They are supposed to keep for one year like that in the fridge, without canning.  (We let them sit for the 3 days, then refrigerated them overnight before opening the jar for the much anticipated first taste. Did they taste like Claussen?  YOU BET YOUR PRETTY PICKLE THEY DID!  We were all SO ex...

Buttermilk Biscuits - Just like Cracker Barrel!

RECIPES AT THE TOP - CHIT CHAT AT THE BOTTOM! Here's how we make Buttermilk Biscuits AT HOME MY WAY: Buttermilk Biscuits (just like Cracker Barrel) (Makes about 8 biscuits.) PRINTABLE RECIPE HERE Ingredients: 2 cups SELF RISING flour  (self rising flour gives the perfect taste to homemade biscuits) 1/3 cup shortening  (cold real butter also works here) 1 1/4 cup buttermilk*  *NOTE:  (If using regular milk combined with lemon juice vinegar referenced below, you only need 1 cup of milk because thinner regular milk uses less by volume than the thick real buttermilk.) Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. (Make sure your flour is "fluffed" not straight from the bag;  Dump it in a larger container and stir using up and down motion to fluff it up a little bit-THEN measure out 2 cups).  Measure 2 cups SELF RISING flour into a mixing bowl.  Add shortening and cut it until small and crumbly. A fork works fine for this purpose ...
