Fun Party Drink...Arnold Palmer Jello Shots!


All you need is 1 package of Lemon Jell-O, Firefly Vodka, and 10 lemons. Make the Jell-O normally, replacing the 1 cup of cold water with the vodka.
For the lemon shells, simply halve the lemons, remove everything inside, and place them tightly into a cake pan. Then fill them with the Jell-O and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing. Use a very sharp knife.

Cook's Note: do not let these sit for more than 36 hours or so, or the lemon peels will cause the shots to become extremely lemon-y.

Enjoy!

Easy Meal: Buffalo Chicken Calzone

I pulled this promotional recipe offline and made a few changes to better fit my tastes. The original recipe calls for a can of Pillsbury pizza crust (stretched out and cut into 4ths), barbecue chicken, and mozzarella.
I went with grilled chicken in buffalo sauce, mozzarella, chopped celery, and ranch for dipping. They were D-licious! And perfect for a college kid or a mom on-the-go! I thought of a few other traditional recipes but you could really add anything you would like!

Traditional
Pizza sauce
Mozzarella
Pepperoni
Sausage (for Meatlovers)

Caprese
Mozzarella
Tomato
Basil
Chicken (optional)

Recipe:
1. Oven at 425. Spray cookie sheet with non-stick spray.
2. Unroll and stretch dough, then cut into 4 pieces.
3. Fill, fold, and fork the edges!
4. Pop into the oven for 9-12 minutes (or until light brown.)

Easy, right?
