Orange Julius!!!!!!! MMMMMM


Ever since I can remember my brother Richard has been obsessed with finding THE Orange Julius recipe. We would buy the powdered Orange smoothie mix in hopes it would satisfy his fix, but it never did. The other day he came over so excited that FINALLY after about 14 years he has found THE perfect Orange Julius copy recipe. He was right it was fantastic!!! Especially with some alcohol in the evening, mmmm. The kids LOVED it, minus the vodka of course.
Anyway, just a warning... The recipe calls for 6oz of OJ concentrate but we bought the 12oz and used that, it came out pretty gross then we realized we used twice as much so we doubled the whole recipe it then was PERFECT.
Here you go.... Richards 14 year quest of finding the perfect Orange Julius has come to an end and all the work was done now you can just enjoy:

6 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
10 or so ice cubes

1. Combine all ingredients except ice cubes in blender.
2. Blend for about 1-2 minutes, adding ice cubes one at a time.

    Use 1/4 cup of sugar for a less intense OJ!

Funghi!!!

I LOVE me some Mushorooms!! Love Love Love!! and so when I saw gorgeous Shiitake mushrooms at Trader Joes... I said Oh Yeah Funghi Pasta for us. I know people either love em or hate em. I am in a crowd split in the middle with both lovers and haters, BUT the family loved this especially Owen who made me so proud because he too will be a Funghi lover.

Yummiest Meatballs

I have been on a search for the most delish meatball. I found it. It is the Rao's Meatball recipe that I had tweaked to my liking. You can can tweak yours to your liking like all Beef, or all turkey, you can do Half and half or really whatever you enjoy, this is what I found to be the perfect blend for the best meatball. Just so you know....... Rao's Marinara is THE best sauce EVER, so you can cheat and buy that sauce to simmer these in.  I make the sauce and meatballs every Sunday and they are always a fan favorite. Enjoy!!! 1 pound ground beef, ½ pound ground veal, l½ pound ground pork  3 large eggs 1 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese 1 ½ tablespoons chopped Italian parsley ½ small garlic clove, peeled and minced, optional 2 cups bread crumbs (see below+) 1.5 cups lukewarm water Salt (preferably Kosher or Sea Salt) and freshly ground pepper to taste 1 cup fine-quality olive oil Combine meats in a large bowl.
