Recipe 53: Chocolate Cherry Coffee Frappe

Made the banana coffee frappe recipe for the Magic Bullet using frozen cherries instead of bananas. I filled the bullet up about 3/4 with the cherries and used only 1/2 cup of chocolate almond milk. I also did it with half banana and half cherries yesterday, but I think it was better as all cherries (or all banana).

Recipe 52: Savory Corn Spoon Bread

I used the recipe on the back of the corn bread stuffing mix. It was okay.

Recipe 51: Peanut Butter S'mores Cookie Bars

I used this recipe.

Recipe 50: Lemon Pepper Pasta and Asparagus

I used this recipe. I skipped the bell peppers. I didn't really pay attention to how much asparagus I used and used the zest and juice from one large lemon. I made a whole 16oz box of pasta and originally was going to go just use part of the cooked pasta, but found that it was enough asparagus and beans to mix in with the whole pot.

Recipe 49: Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade Slush

I used this recipe. I made the strawberry slushy part by filling the bullet about halfway with frozen strawberries, a little bit of lemon juice, and water and skipped the freezing for four hours part. Instead of using lemonade concentrate, I used Canada Dry Ginger Ale and Lemonade.

Recipe 48: Sparkling Raspberry Tea

I used this recipe. Instead of using juice, though, I just used raspberry tea. Nice refreshing twist on tea.

Recipe 47: Copycat Pineapple Dole Whip

I used this recipe. I did it as approximately a half recipe to work in the bullet. Turned out good, although the vanilla came through a little too much.

Recipe 46: Pina Colada Mango Smoothie

I used this recipe. I only used about 1/2 cup of coconut water as that's all that would fit in the bullet. The flavor might have been better with more, but the texture would have been too thin. If I make again, I'd probably to 1/2 a cup of all ingredients and use frozen pineapple.

Recipe 45: Peach Pie Smoothie

I used this recipe. I skipped the honey as I prefer not to add any sweetener to smoothies, although since this is a peach pie one, I would've tried it with agave nectar if I wasn't out. I also ended up doing it without ginger because I didn't realize I was out until I started to make it. I don't know if that dash makes much of a difference, but even without it and the honey, it was a good smoothie with the hint of spice to seem like pie rather than just a fruit smoothie.

Recipe 44: Grilled Chocolate Banana Foil Pack

I used this recipe. Instead of the cereal, I used graham crackers. Totally disappointed in this recipe. The first one I tried to do ended up in several pieces and couldn't really figure out how to slightly open and stuff. The second one I just cut in half (still ended up in two pieces, but that didn't bother me) and then push together when wrapping, which worked out good. However, too much work to then unwrap and try to not end up with the marshmallow all stuck on the foil. Worst of all was they ended up tasting like metal.
