</div><div align="left"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We were out and about one Saturday afternoon and decided to stop for donuts. While we were inside ordering, we noticed a sign advertising these coolatta drinks. My husband decided to get the Mt. Dew Coolatta.</span></div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/food365bycrystal/?action=view&current=Mt--Dew-Coolatta-silo-image.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/food365bycrystal/Mt--Dew-Coolatta-silo-image.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">At first, I wasn't going to get one. But, I eventually decided to get the Tropicana Coolatta.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/food365bycrystal/?action=view&current=img-thing.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/food365bycrystal/img-thing.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">These beverages are nothing more than a flavored slushie. I first tasted the Tropicana one. It was absolutely wonderful. It really tasted just like a frozen orange juice. I then tasted the Mt Dew. It tasted nothing like a Mt. Dew. Well, it actually tasted like a flat Diet Mt Dew. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I definitely recommend the Tropicana Coolatta. I actually went back the next day to get another one. I cannot recommend the Mt Dew Coolatta. I did not like it at all.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">These drinks come in 3 sizes - Small (16 fl oz), Medium (24 fl oz) and Large (32 fl oz). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Anybody else try these?</span></div>~ Crystal ~http://www.blogger.com/profile/13571504679183061600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548982592433788839.post-12594845311271180222011-05-27T13:25:00.000-07:002011-05-27T13:25:02.777-07:00Meal Plan: May 20th - May 26th<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I'm going to try and start posting my weekly meal plans, plus how much I spent (or what I had on hand) and how much each meal was per person.

I usually use these for roast beef and veggies. I had on my menu plan this week for steak and cheese subs, but could not find a single box of the steak-umms in this city! So, I had to improvise and I must admit that my way is SO MUCH better! It got the vote of everyone. </span><br />

I had intended to share all my recipes with the blogging world. Well, I soon found myself repeating the same recipes over and over. Not really a good way to share. So, I am changing it up a little bit. I have given the blog a new name and a new purpose. I will still share my recipes with you, but I will also be posting about any and all food related topics. I also won't feel pressured to come up with new recipes each and every day just to have something to share. I hope you enjoy the new and improved, The Cookin' {Italian} Bella! </span>~ Crystal ~http://www.blogger.com/profile/13571504679183061600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548982592433788839.post-69844814437022383612010-09-28T22:09:00.000-07:002010-10-07T00:31:41.851-07:00Day 15: Chicken Noodle Soup<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Tonight was my first attempt at Chicken Noodle Soup. Sure, I'm a pro at popping a top off a can and heating soup up. I've been doing that for oh, about 20+ years now. This was my first attempt at home made, from scratch Chicken Noodle Soup. It wasn't that bad. The kids said it was even better than Campbell's. </span><br />

But, every now and then I need something quick and easy, requiring little work and that I know my family will eat. So, when I am not in the mood to cut and chop and oversee, I turn to a box mix. I usually buy Zatarain's for this and add ground beef, ground andouille sausage and extra Cajun seasoning. But, one day I found the <a href="http://shop.tonychachere.com/creole-dirty-rice-mix-8-oz-p-21686.html">Tony Chachere's brand of Dirty Rice</a> on sale for $1/box at Dollar General. I immediately bought all they had. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/food365bycrystal/?action=view¤t=Dirty-Rice-8oz-LG.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/food365bycrystal/Dirty-Rice-8oz-LG.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Tonight was one of those "Mama's tired and doesn't feel like cooking a large made from scratch meal" nights. So, I pulled out those boxes and decided to give it a try. I honestly liked it just as much as the Zatarain's. I usually spice it up extra on my own anyway. Of course, nothing compares to the real deal, but this boxed mix is just as good for a quick meal or a side. I would definitely purchase it again.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">This was a "off the top of my head" recipe. Overall, it wasn't too bad. The orange juice gave it a sweet flavor which was interesting with the salsa flavor. I served it with macaroni and cheese, but I think it would be much better with rice and maybe a "sweet" vegetable like peas or corn. Maybe a side salad as the vegetable.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Pork Mango Cubano</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 whole pork tenderloin, butterflied (about 1 1/2 pounds)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 lb chorizo sausage</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 Jar Chunky Salsa </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">3 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro leaves</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 ripe mango, seeded and chopped </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">¼ c packed brown sugar </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2 c orange juice </span></li>
</ul><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Directions:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1) Place the pork in the bottom of a slow cooker. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2) Meanwhile, in a skillet brown up the chorizo. Drain the grease.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">3) Put chorizo in slow cooker around pork. Pour salsa over meat. Sprinkle cilantro leaves on top. Add mango.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">4) Cook on high for 4-5 hrs. Pork should be done but not easily able to be shredded.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">5) After the pork is done, place on a plate for slicing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">6) In slow cooker add brown sugar and orange juice. Stir together and serve as “gravy” over pork.</span><br />

So, I had to look for another trusted recipe. I used to cook this one all the time. I have even done it in a slow-cooker on occasion. But, it is best on the stove. It is based on <a href="http://www.campbellskitchen.com/RecipeDetail.aspx?recipeId=26139">this recipe from Campbell's Kitchen</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Steak Italiano</span></strong><br />

She had requested a buffet but it was so late when we got moving (hubby works midnights Mon - Thurs), that we opted to splurge on Wendy's instead. So, back into my archives I had to go. I actually made this about a month ago back before I got the idea for this blog. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Hamburger Stroganoff</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Ingredients:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 med onion, chopped </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 clove Garlic, finely chopped ( I use mined garlic)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1/2 tsp Salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1/2 tsp pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">16 oz Sour cream</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1) Cook beef, onion and garlic in skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain off any fat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2) Stir in soup. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes stirring occasionally to keep soup from sticking to bottom of skillet. Stir in sour cream and cook until hot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I serve this with egg noodles. I also doubled this to make enough for my family of 8 (well 9 but one doesn't eat table food yet).</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I can share a picture of our dessert. The store didn't have the Mint Chocolate Chip Cake that she really wanted, so Daddy picked this one out instead. The first thing she said was "Yay, it has ALL my favorite colors!" (pink, purple and baby blue)</span><br />

I made some AWESOME Tilapia Sandwiches one time using this seasoning. I am also posting the simple and basic recipe for Garlic Butter that I use to make Garlic bread. Believe, it or not I make my garlic bread using ONLY A TOASTER and no one believes me! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Slow Cooker Hamburger Steak and Gravy</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><u>Ingredients:</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• 2 ½ lbs ground beef</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• Salt and pepper to taste</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• 2 eggs</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• 3 c. bread crumbs</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• 2 c. flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• 7 packets mushroom gravy mix</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• 4 ½ c. water</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• 1 onion, sliced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• 1 large can sliced mushrooms</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><u>Directions:</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1. In a large bowl, mix beef, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs and salt and pepper until well blended. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2. Form hamburger patties to your liking. Roll each patty in flour. Brown on each side in skillet. Place in bottom of slow cooker.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">3. In skillet (I used the same one as I browned the hamburgers in), mix water and mushroom gravy packets together. (**This is not how the packets directions say to mix it. But, I like it this way.**) Continue to let simmer until completely mixed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">4. Add the sliced onion and mushrooms to the slow cooker over the patties. Pour the gravy over the hamburger.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">5. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. If your gravy is too thin, add some cornstarch. If it’s too thick, add some water.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Mashed Potatoes</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><u>Ingredients:</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• About 8 large potatoes, cubed into small pieces</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• 2 ½ c. milk</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• 2 tbsp. sour cream</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• 2 tbsp. butter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• Salt and pepper to taste.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><u>Directions:</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1. Boil potatoes in large pot until soft. The smaller the pieces, the quicker they soften. Drain.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2. Add potatoes back to pot. Add milk, butter, sour cream, salt and pepper. Mix until desired consistency.</span><br />
