I must admit I was doubtful about this one at first.. but it is the best iced coffee recipe I've tried and with some whipped cream and syrup it would taste just like the expensive ones.
1/3 C ground coffee (I used flavored coffee, decaf chocolate caramel!)
1 1/2 C water
Stir together and let rest at room temperature overnight or at least 12 hours. Strain.
In a tall glass filled with ice, mix equal parts coffee concentrate and water or to taste.
You won't have to worry about storage long, but the coffee concentrate will keep in the fridge for several days.
Jen's note: I added about a tablespoon of milk and a teaspoon of sugar free Torani chocolate flavored syrup and it was a perfect mocha latte.

Atomic Buffalo Turds
Sorry for the descriptive title.... another one that's not my recipe but will be served at family gatherings forever.
Cut off stems and split jalapeno peppers in half lenthwise and remove seeds. (Wear gloves!)
Spread in some cream cheese in each half of the jalapenos
Add a "lil smokie" in each one. ( a small pre-cooked sausage)
Wrap in bacon and use a toothpick to secure the bacon
Put under broiler or grill until the bacon cooks and the jalapeno is heated through.
Dave's tip: - I use turkey bacon because it holds it's shape better. I also cook the bacon in the pan about halfway before assembling the turds. So that when I put it on the grill, I only have to turn it once or twice for a total of 2-3 minutes and it's cooked all the way through.
You can thank me later.
