Cheryl's Recipe Corner!
One-Pot Enchilada Rigatoni
Description
Winter is the time of year where I love casseroles and hearty meals. But, sometimes it gets boring when it's an Italian themed item. This recipe is in my "to try" list, because it sounds fantastic with an added spin on it that takes the Italian away from it!
Ingredients
1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1 can (19 oz) Mild enchilada sauce
1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
1 lb uncooked rigatoni pasta
1 can (11 oz) whole kernel corn with red and green bell peppers
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (8 oz)
Directions
In nonstick 5-quart Dutch oven, cook beef with salt to taste over high heat, stirring frequently, until brown. Do not drain. Add enchilada sauce, evaporated milk, 4 cups hot water, the pasta and corn. Heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 15 minutes, stirring occasionally; do not drain. Remove from heat; stir in cheese. Serve topped with crushed tortilla chips, cilantro and chopped green onions, if desired.

A tasty addition to your dessert table for your holiday dinner... or anytime you're wanting a delicious cake! Rich, K0EB, requested a rum cake.
Ingredients (Cake)
1 box (about 18 oz.) yellow cake mix
1 package (3.5 oz.) instant vanilla pudding mix
4 whole eggs
1/2 c. cold water
1/2 c. canola oil
1/2 c. rum (dark or light is fine... but dark is better!)
1 c. chopped pecans
brown sugar (optional)
Ingredients (Glaze)
1 1/2 sticks of butter
1/4 c. water
1 1/2 c. granulated sugar
3/4 c. rum
Directions (Cake)
Preheat oven to 325F. Grease and flour a bundt cake pan (you can cheat and use "Bakers Joy", if you like!). Sprinkle nuts over bottom of pan. If desired, sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar over the nuts (extra yum). Mix all cake ingredients together. Pour batter into pan over nuts. Smooth out ’til the top is even. Bake for 1 hour, or a little less if the pan is black. Do not overbake.
Directions (Glaze)
When cake has ten minutes left to bake, make the glaze. Melt butter in saucepan. Stir in water and sugar. Boil for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Turn off flame and pour in rum. Stir to combine and reheat for 30 seconds. Remove cake from oven. Immediately drizzle 1/3 of the glaze on the bottom (top) of the cake. Allow to sit for five minutes. Invert the cake onto a serving plate. Thoroughly (and gently!) prick surface of cake with a fork. Slowly drizzle remaining rum glaze all over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Cool to room temperature before serving to ensure glaze has soaked in.

Cheryl's Recipe Corner!
White Christmas Pie
Description
20 years ago Russ and I attended a cooking demonstration where a locally owned restaurant demonstrated one of their top selling pies around the Christmas season. One bite and we were hooked. Sadly, I completely forgot about this recipe until a few days ago... so I decided to pull it out and dust it off!
Ingredients
2 baked (8”) pie shells (graham cracker crust also works well)
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup coconut
1/2 cup chopped nuts (pecans are my personal favorite)
Combine milk, lemon juice, coconut, nuts, pineapple and pineapple flavoring. Stir in whipped topping and pour mixture into pie shells. Chill for 4 hours. 12-16 servings. Note: One 10” pie crust may be substituted for the two 8”. For Christmas, it's especially festive when you dollop some cherry pie filling on each piece.

Hot Buttered Rum
Description
I've always been a Hot Buttered Rum fan, thanks to my dad. While Russ and were vacationing in New England over the last 2 weeks, I decided to try the Hot Buttered Rum at Maine Craft Distilling in Portland, ME on a very cold day! It was perfect! I'm not sure if Russ liked it, though (he's not a huge fan of hot drinks)... but I was very happy!
Ingredients (4 Drinks)
6 tablespoons salted butter, softened
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
Ingredients (1 Drink)
1-1/2 tablespoons spiced butter
2 ounces rum
6 ounces boiling water*
Directions (Cocktail)
Make the spiced butter: Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice to your softened butter. Use a spatula to mix the butter together with the sugar and spices until everything is incorporated well. Use immediately or refrigerate until making the drinks. To make the drinks: Add 1-1/2 tablespoons of the spiced butter to each glass. Add rum and boiling water and stir until combined. If you like a sweeter drink, top with whipped cream. Note: *Some recipes use apple cider for a sweeter spin. We prefer drinks that are lightly sweet and boiling water is most traditional.

Breckenridge Bourbon Whiskey (A Blend)
Description
The Breckenridge Distillery is the “World’s Highest Distillery”. Founded in 2008, the Breckenridge Distillery is most widely known for its blended bourbon whiskey, a high-rye mash American-style whiskey. Since coming online in 2008 and releasing its first vodka and bourbon three years later, Breckenridge Distillery has quickly become an award-winning producer of fine spirits, being designated one of the top three bourbons in the U.S. How it all came to be, however, stems from a mix of just the right ingredients, a hint of luck and a deep love for quality whiskey. Our award-winning, high-rye Bourbon Whiskey is aged for a minimum of three years, in charred, new American oak barrels, and blended to reveal the unique qualities of the Bourbon Whiskey. Deep, honey-amber hue with pronounced aromas of butterscotch, candied orange and apple; dry cacao and brown sugar envelop the tongue as the spirit lingers with notes of vanilla and white pepper.
