• Cheryl’s Recipe Corner!

• One-Pot Ten-Minute Beef and Broccoli

• Description

• I admit, I’m all about finding a quick and easy meal… because there are some days that I just don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen cooking a meal.  And this is one of those, “Quick and Easy” meals, with an Asian flair.  And we love our Asian foods!  We’ve not tried this one yet, but it’s on our “to do” list.

• Ingredients

• 1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef

• 1 bag (12 oz) frozen chopped broccoli

• 1 bunch chopped green onions, greens and whites separated

• 3 cups cold cooked white rice

• 1 cup thick teriyaki marinade and sauce

• Directions

• In nonstick 5-quart Dutch oven, cook beef with salt to taste over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until brown. Do not drain. Meanwhile, make broccoli as directed on bag. Add whites of green onions to pan with beef, and cook 1 minute. Stir in rice and teriyaki sauce. Cook and stir about 2 minutes or until rice is heated through. Stir in broccoli. Top with green onion tops.

• Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner

• Tequila Sunrise

• Description

• Russ makes a tasty Tequila Sunrise, so I thought I’d share the recipe for this great summery drink!

• Ingredients

• 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) tequila

• 4 ounces (1/2 cup) orange juice

• 3/4 ounce (1-1/2 tablespoons) grenadine syrup

• Ice

• For the garnish: Cocktail cherry, orange slice

• Directions

• Fill a highball glass with ice. Pour in the tequila and orange juice and stir. Pour the grenadine into center of the drink and it will sink to the bottom. Stir gently for sunrise gradient effect. Garnish with an orange slice and cocktail cherry. This drink is sweetly straightforward. Add a squeeze of lime to add more of a tart flavor. A dash of orange liqueur like Cointreau can give it a little more complexity. You can also make a Tequila Sunset by substituting blackberry brandy for the grenadine. Make the drink with vodka for a Vodka Sunset, or try a Malibu Sunset using Malibu Coconut Rum.

• Bradshaw Kentucky Straight Bourbon

• Description

• Batch 0005. Four Super Bowl victories was no ordinary feat, but then Terry Bradshaw was no ordinary player. So it makes sense that Terry Bradshaw Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is anything but ordinary. Blended from the finest grains and aged in hand selected barrels, the 212 blend is worthy of a nod from a true champion. Bradshaw Bourbon is a collaboration between Bradshaw and Silver Screen Bottling Company, which is known for bottling several celebrity liquors. The bourbon is bottled at an ABV of 51.9% which is a nod to his career passing completion percentage. Batch 212 is a reference to his career TD passing total. Aged two years.
