Slow Cooker Huli Huli Chicken

Description

Crockpot huli huli chicken is a dinner you can set and forget, then come back to and enjoy in all of its tropical goodness! Each bite of fork-tender chicken is flavored with the best sauce made of ginger, garlic, ketchup, brown sugar, and pineapple juice. It’s the perfect mix of sweet, tangy, and savory!

Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup ketchup

2 teaspoons fresh ginger root grated

1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic

4 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs -OR- chicken breasts

2 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions

In a medium bowl, whisk together your pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, ginger, and garlic. Place your chicken thighs into a crock pot and pour your sauce mixture over the top of them, and cook on low for 5-7 hours. Remove the chicken from the crock pot and whisk in your cornstarch to thicken the sauce. At this point you can either enjoy your chicken in the whole thigh pieces with the sauce, or shred the chicken and add the shredded chicken back to the crock pot and stir it into the sauce. Shredding the chicken makes it an ideal sandwich filler, or topping on rice!

Stellum Rye (Barrel Proof/Pick)

Description

The identity of Stellum Rye is rooted in a tried and true 95% Rye Indiana mash bill.

This brings a full, round mouthfeel and flashes of buttery sweetness to an otherwise spicy and tightly focused Rye Whiskey.

Mashbill: 95% rye, 5% malted barley

Proof: 116.36 (58.18% ABV)

Region: Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana

Color: Deep copper

Nose: Stewed apples, peach, pears, nutmeg, clove, light mint and licorice

Taste: Anise, cardamom, coriander lemon zest, sour orange, green apple, spearmint, light sweetness

Finish: Star anise, white pepper, mint, honey, green tea

Price: $60 (750ml)

Rating: 93

Nikka Miyagikyo Single Malt Japanese Whiskey

Description

Miyagikyo Single Malt is a range of single malt expressions from the Miyagikyo Distillery. Nikka’s founder Masataka Taketsuru chose a valley in the Miyagi prefecture as the site for his second distillery, and started its operation in 1969. He aimed to make a complete contrast between the two distilleries, Miyagikyo and Yoichi, with different natural environments and production methods. Miyagikyo malts are described as elegant and fruity. Made from light peated and non-peated malted barley, whiskies distilled in pot stills heated by indirect steam express a signature fruitiness and delicate mouthfeel. This no-age-statement version was released in 2016 as a permanent product that showcases the elegant style of Miyagikyo malts, when all age-statements were discontinued. This bottling has estery aromas generated by carefully selected yeast strains along with distinctive Sherry cask influence.

Details

Mashbill: 100% Malted barley

Proof: 90 (45% ABV)

Region: Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan

Color: Light, spun gold

Nose: Vanilla, cinnamon, honey, pear, clove, baked biscuits, plantain

Taste: Orange, toasted bread, chocolate, honey, vanilla, oak, toasted grains, pear, green grapes, light pepper

Finish: Green grape, vanilla, hints of dark berries and citrus, light pepper

Price: $85 (750ml)

Rating: 96

The blend of three whiskies (American and Canadian rye), three mash bills and three age statements add up to RY3, a sumptuous and heavenly honeycombed mouthful of peach nectar and maple bran.

Carrot Cake Cheesecake Bars

Description

In this life, I have 3 desserts that rock my world.  #1 is carrot cake, #2 is Cheesecake… and #3 is Key Lime pie.  This dessert, which is perfect for your Easter meal, scratches my top 2 favorite desserts off that list in one tasty little dessert!

Ingredients

1 cup and 2 tbsp. flour

2 cups sugar, divided

1 1/2 tsp. Ground Cinnamon

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. Ground Nutmeg

1/4 tsp. salt

2/3 cup vegetable oil

4 eggs (divided)

2 tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract

1 1/2 cups finely grated carrots

3 (8 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup milk

1 tsp. Pure Lemon Extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Mix 1 cup each of the flour and sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg and salt in large bowl. Add oil, 2 of the eggs, vanilla extract and carrots; mix well. Spread 1/2 of the batter into greased and floured 13x9-inch baking pan. Reserve remaining batter. Set aside. Beat cream cheese and remaining 1 cup sugar in another large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add milk, remaining 2 tablespoons flour and lemon extract; beat until well blended. Add remaining 2 eggs, 1 at a time, beating on low speed after each addition just until blended. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture and reserved carrot cake batter, alternately, over the carrot cake batter in pan. Cut through several times with knife for marble effect. Bake 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack.

Cadbury Creme Egg Shots

Description

Continuing on with the Easter theme… how about turning a Cadbury Creme Egg into a Shot Glass?  Russ loves the Cadbury Creme Eggs (I’m not a fan), but I might change my mind using this recipe!

Ingredients

6 large Cadbury eggs (NOT the Caramel ones!)

2oz Irish cream

2oz White Creme de cacao (dark will work in a pinch)

2oz Heavy Cream (milk will work in a pinch)

Directions

Unwrap the Cadbury eggs at least halfway (or take the foil wrapping completely off) and place on a cutting board. Boil some water and stick the blade of a serrated knife into the water, giving the blade time to get very hot.  Dry the blade off quickly and use it to cut the top off the Cadbury Egg (you’ll want to cut just a little over 1/3 of the top of the egg off, leaving enough room to scoop out the contents).  Be careful when using a “sawing motion” to cut off the top of the egg, or the egg may crack, rendering it unusable. Scoop out the creamy center of each egg and place in a small bowl.  Pour the Irish cream, White Creme de Cacao and Heavy Cream into a cocktail shaker.  Add the creamy center mixture from the Cadbury eggs into the shaker. Secure with a lid and shake, shake, shake! Pour into the hollowed out chocolate eggs and ENJOY! Strawberry or Caramel Irish Cream bumps this up to the next level of yum!

Kirk and Sweeney Gran Reserva Rum

Description

Handcrafted in the Dominican Republic, this rum adheres to the very strict regulations to be called “Dominican Rum”. The process begins with hand harvested, high quality sugarcane that is pure. The byproduct of the sugarcane, “Blackstrap Molasses” is then carefully fermented and distilled. The rum is then aged in a variety of American and French oak barrels, with the distiller conducting various steps of dumping, blending and re-barreling through the years. The final blend is a selection of variously aged rums between 5 and 20 years, painstakingly hand selected, this is indeed a rum well worth pursuing. It delivers an intriguing range of aromas, from intense vanillas to faint notes of sherry and raisins–all built upon a notable undercurrent of roasted cane sugars.

Details

Mashbill: 100% Sugar

Proof: 80 (40% ABV)

Region: Dominican Republic

Color: Reddish Amber

Nose: This full-bodied rum delivers an intriguing range of aromas, from intense vanillas to faint notes of sherry and raisins–all built upon a notable undercurrent of roasted cane sugars.

Taste: Expert blending comes to life with the first taste, revealing a deep vanilla flavor, followed by dried fruits, nutmeg, cinnamon spices and a hint of oak.

Finish: Immensely smooth all the way through, this rum unwinds with a gently wavering sensation of oak, sherry and raisin.

Price: $50 (750ml)

Rating: 81
