Dear Sis,
I like to make a special treat and cook out on Memorial Day. It was a perfect opportunity to test another recipe for Evelyn’s birthday picnic next month:)
- 3 T salted butter
- 4 c mini marshmallows
- green food coloring
- 4 c crisp rice cereal
- 3 T salted butter
- 5 c mini marshmallows
- red food coloring
- 5 c crisp rice cereal
- mini semi sweet chocolate chips
- Grease two round cake pans with butter.
- For rind, melt butter and marshmallows in a microwave safe bowl for 60 seconds. Stir until smooth. Stir in color. Stir in cereal. Press half mixture around outer edge of each cake pan.
- For watermelon, melt butter and marshmallows in a microwave safe bowl for 60 seconds. Stir until smooth. Stir in color. Stir in cereal. Press half mixture into center of each cake pan. Sprinkle each watermelon center with chocolate chips and press them in. Stand until set.
- Turn each pan out on a board and slice into 6 pieces, just before serving.
I’ve finally got my burger recipe perfected, so I guess it is time to share it:)
- 3 lb. ground beef
- 3 c shredded Cheddar Jack
- 1/2 c fresh parsley, minced
- 1/4 c fresh chives, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 t hickory salt
- 1 t ground pepper
- Combine all ingredients until well mixed.
- Press into a dozen burger patties.
- Grill, panfry, or layer between waxed paper and freezer for later. Thaw in fridge before cooking.
- Serve with buns, cheese slices, and all your favorite burger fixings.
Love,
