Need Recipes from Vegas Bash, Please!!



Recommended Posts

Hello fellow vegas bash bandsters. My friend Brigid has a hankering for the chips and margaritas that Lisa and Carol made for the bash...

Lisa- how did you make those DELICIOUS chips?

Carol- is the margarita mix a secret or can you share it? They were FANTASTIC!!!

Thanks in advance...

Megan

I believe Carol is currently in Vegas, So I hope I can help with the margarita's :D

I did this a couple of times and they turned out good.

3 parts tequila

1 part triple sec

6 parts margarita mix

Mix together and put into container (or baggies) place in freezer over night.

Alchohol does not freeze but the mix does, thus makes a slush.

Carol concur on this when you can.

Have fun

OK - here's the easy but delicious margarita recipe (I still have some in the freezer if anyone wants some).

3 large bottles of Jose Cuervo Margarita Mix

1 large bottle of Jose Cuervo dark tequila

1 and 1/2 cups of triple sec

lemon or lime juice (optional -- only if you like tart margaritas)

Stir together and either leave in large container with a lid (I use a 12 quart container) or use smaller containers. Quart size freezer bags work very well and then the fit in a cooler to take with you. (also stack better in the freezer, just DO NOT overfill, allow room for expansion).

When serving, leave out a few minutes, stir well, and ENJOY!!

Also, if anyone needs the crab dip recipe, let me know.

Carol’s Crab Dip Recipe

1 lb of cleaned and cracked crab meat (I buy it at a fish market)

1 block of cream cheese (room temperature)

4-6 stalks of celery (chopped fine)

6-8 stalks of green onion (sliced very fine)

1 cup Mayonnaise

6-8 shakes of Tabasco

1 pkg Gelatin

1 tbsp Water

1 can cream of mushroom Soup

garlic powder to taste (optional)

Heat can of mushroom Soup just till boiling. Remove from heat and add Gelatin (already mixed with 1 tbsp water). Cool slightly.

In a mixer beat cream cheese and mayonnaise together. Add all other ingredients except crab. Mix in soup mix and then add crab.

Put in mold or container. Should cool overnight or at least most of the day.

Serve with crackers (triscuit or wheat thins are best) or with sliced baguette. (or for bandsters plain with a fork is great).

Thanks all. I make the crab dip probably once a month. It is such a bandster friendly food. And the margaritas are always in the freezer, but I very seldom drink any. It just seems that when friends visit, they know they are there and ask for them. I guess all I know are a bunch of lushes.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
