Gingerbread Martinis

I LOVE the Gingerbread Martini from Outback and this year I had a huge craving for them at the holidays.  So, I went out and found a couple of recipes online that were supposed to be similar.  I took their suggestions and added a couple of my own to come up with this awesome drink.  I've tested it on a few people now and everyone asked for more!  See if you can fit this one into your holiday parties this year!

1/2 oz Gingerbread Kahlua (I'm sure you could use the regular too)
1 oz Bailey's Irish Cream
1 oz Sweet Cream Flavor Coffee Creamer
1/2 oz Gingerbread Syrup (In the coffee aisle or at a coffee shop)
Pepperidge Farm Gingerman Cookies

Mix the liquids together and shake over ice
Rim a martini glass with crushed gingerman cookies
Place one full gingerman cookie into the glass and pour the liquid over top.  YUM!

NOTE: To make it stronger you could up the kahlua to 1 ounce and you could also add 1 ounce of vodka.  Both work great!

Paleo Friendly Lettuce Wraps

I recently started the "Caveman Diet" and discovered this recipe on Cavegirl Cuisine.  I changed it up a little and came up with this.   I love mushrooms so I might add more mushrooms (including multiple varieties too) next time and less chicken.  This is a very tasty dish!

Any Ol' Chili

This is a very easy chili recipe that we enjoy on a nice cold winter day.  Top it off with some cheese, sour cream and maybe even some Fritos or just eat it plain!

Summer Pasta

I found a rendition of this on Pinterest a while back and last night, in a fight with myself over what I was  going to cook, I rediscovered it.  I changed a few things and also adapted it to a single serving since I was flying solo at the time.
This dish would be really easy to make for picky eaters. I have one in my family that doesn't eat tomatoes and one that doesn't eat feta.  So, you could make it like a pasta bar and let everyone pick what they want to include if you're in a similar situation!

Southwestern Turkey Soup

This soup is so easy to make, super quick and delicious.  Brown the turkey, add all of the rest of the ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes.  That's about it!  And at around 370 calories, it fits nicely into your diet too!  If the calories aren't all that important to you, try topping it with some crunchy tortilla strips and some sour cream.  Try it for yourself and let us know what you think!
