A new twist to the beloved classic Roast Beef sandwich!

Arby’s is partnering with the iconic KING’S HAWAIIAN brand to introduce two irresistible new sandwiches to their menu, the Arby’s KING’S HAWAIIAN roast beef sandwich and Arby’s KING’S HAWAIIAN Roast Beef & Swiss sandwich. They are only available for a limited time! Have you tried them yet? If you haven’t tried one of them yet I suggest you do before they are gone! My husband has had the KING’S HAWAIIAN Roast Beef sandwich several times now really likes it.

The two new sandwiches that are made hot and fresh to order are:

Arby’s KING’S HAWAIIAN Roast Beef sandwich.
This sandwich comes with an extra helping of freshly sliced roast beef, piled high on a soft and slightly sweet KING’S HAWAIIAN bun.

Arby’s KING’S HAWAIIAN Roast Beef & Swiss sandwich.
Which has the same extra helping of roast beef and KING’S HAWAIIAN bun, but it is topped with Swiss cheese, crunchy pickles and creamy Dijon spread.

To celebrate these two new KING’S HAWAIIAN sandwiches, Arby’s is hosting a Hawaiian Getaway sweepstakes to offer customers the chance to surf in paradise!

DIY Craft: Hey America! What’s Your ID? Teacher’s Gift Craft Instructions

Crafts, Food and Drink, ,

I am a big fan of International Delight’s Cold Stone Creamery’s Sweet Cream Creamer.  It reminds me of warm summer days and making homemade ice cream with the kids.  I love summer.. warmer weather and ice cream!

With summer comes the end of school and with the end of school comes gifts for teachers.  Most years we make a craft for the kid’s teachers.  What better way to use the empty International Delight creamer bottles than to recycle them into a gift!

This year we decorated empty International Delight Creamer bottles and put dry ingredients for cookie mix inside them!
Yummy, right?

teacher's gift idea

How to make the craft:

  1. Remove the label from the bottle
  2. Wash the bottle with soap and water and let dry
  3. Once the bottle is dry paint,  the bottle any color you want. We had acrylic paint left over from another art project. It worked great for this project!
  4. Let the paint dry. You might have to apply more than one coat.  We had to apply two coats.
  5. Decorate the bottle any way you want. My son did not want anything else on the bottle.. as you can see in the photo. He’s a simple kind of guy.

Now it’s time to add your ingredients into the bottle!

  1. Decide what cookie recipe you are going to use
  2. Use a small funnel to add the ingredients one at a time
  3. You might need to tap the bottom of the bottle on the counter to pack down the ingredients.
  4. Once all the dry ingredients are in you can put the lid on.

Our bottle was big enough to put the ingredients of one sugar cookie recipe in it.

Next I printed the recipe on card stock, punched a hole in the top corner of the paper, put ribbon through it and tied it to the bottle.

This was an easy project and only took a couple of hours from start to finish.

The added bonus is that you get to drink your favorite International Delight creamer before you reuse the bottle!

LG Do March Right™ Tip-Off Recipe Contest and My NCAA Game Day Recipe | #LGDoMarchRight

Alicia's Corner, Food and Drink, ,

My 6-year-old daughter has recently become interested in basketball, thanks to my Dad.   After long days of playing in the lake, playing games, and walking down Park Avenue in Winter Park, my Dad sits in his leather chair and my daughter gets comfy on the sofa and they watch basketball.  They usually watch Orlando Magic play against whoever they are playing against but they’ll watch just about any team.. I think.   I love that she knows how many points each type of throw makes and what a foul is.  She knows more about basketball than I do!

LG is dedicated to creating a great game-time experience especially for your game-day parties! That’s why LG has created the LG Do March Right™ Tip Off Facebook Page to collect amazing game-day recipes to share with all NCAA fans.  I submitted one of my favorite game-day recipes.  Why don’t you?

Playoff excitement, great friends and awesome food go hand in hand. And there’s never been a better time to share your favorite game-time recipe. If it’s as terrific as you think, you’ll see it right on their Facebook page. And when the voting starts…that’s when The LG Do March Right™ Tip-Off really takes off!

This game-time recipe has been submitted for LG’s Do March Right Tip-Off Challenge.

This is one of my favorite ‘special occasion’ recipes that mom, dad, and kids  love!  You know how heated things can get while watching a good ball game.  This snack will ensure that you and your game-day guests stay cool, calm, and collected.  Well, maybe not calm and collected but cool at least!

Very Berry Rice Krispies Treats with Raspberry Sorbet

Very Berry Rice Krispies Treats With Sorbet

Ingredients

  • Rice Krispies
  • Butter
  • Marshmallows
  • Raspberry (or other flavor) Sorbet
  • Cool Whip
  • Fresh strawberries and blueberries

Instructions

  • Make Rice Krispies Treats as usual (see below)
    • Melt 2-3 tablespoons butter in large pan on low heat
    • Mix marshmallows in and stir constantly until completely melted
    • Remove from heat
    • Stir in 6 cups Rice Krispies
    • SPECIAL – Separate Rice Krispies Treats mix into two 13×9 inch pans to make two thin layers
  • Refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour – not necessary, but keeps the sorbet you are going to put on the soon to be cut out stars, from melting quickly
  • Once cool, cut Rice Krispies Treats into star shapes with a cookie cutter and put the individual stars on wax paper
  • Coat 1/2 of the cool Rice Krispies Treats stars with raspberry sorbet (substitute with your favorite flavor, ice cream, or frozen yogurt)
  • Place a star on top of the sorbet covered Rice Krispies Treats stars
  • Top with Cool Whip, strawberries, and blueberries
  • Garnish the plate with fresh fruit and enjoy immediately!

 

I hope you’ll try this recipe.  You and your kids will enjoy making it and I think you’ll love eating this tasty snack!
