Into my kitchen..... & Mudslides!

So tonight I took a chance in the kitchen on something that I am not quite used to.... Alcoholic beverages. I don't think I have EVER posted anything about cooking, however it is not a new skill of mine. I love to cook and bake and just about anything else in the kitchen (except cleaning it and washing the dishes!) But tonight I decided maybe I ought to share this with you!

I found this recipe on Allrecipes.com for mudslides the other day. Now I don't happen to have a whole lot of alcohol in the house and I don't particularly want to run to the liquor store to get any specialty drinks either. So I wondered if maybe I could improvise. Sure enough, I found 2 more recipes for the flavored liqueurs needed for the mudslides. The mudslide recipe calls for Irish cream Liqueur and Coffee flavored Liqueur, both of which I was able to improvise slightly with the type of alcohol I had in my house.
In the picture you can see that I used Jose Cuervo Tequila for the coffee liqueur and Crown Royal for the Irish cream (neither one is recommended by the recipes.. however it did nicely). I made these last night, but since we had other things to do I didn't get a chance to test them until tonight. My hubby is a big fan of mudslides and he approves!


So in whatever adventure you choose to purse, please be safe, have fun, and take a chance! If it doesn't work, try to learn from the negatives. Happy Homesteading!
