St. Lucy’s Eyes

 

The credit goes to my good friend, Sarah G., on this recipe.  I couldn’t get enough of them at our All Saint’s Day Party!  So, in her words, here is the recipe … one you should try, in my opinion. 

ST. LUCY’S EYES

Yield: 4 dozen

Ingredients:

5 oz sliced olives (I used green)

1 pkg cream cheese (go crazy and use full fat! :)

16 slices deli roast beef ( I used roast beef salami)

8 (6-7 in.) flour tortillas

 

Directions:

Mix cream cheese with olives and spread on a tortilla. Top with 2 beef slices, overlapping slightly. Roll up tortillas, jelly-roll fashion. Trim off ends and slice each tortilla roll into 6 (3/4 in) slices. Lay them down and add a bit of cream cheese to the top for the whites of the eyes and add an olive with pimento to the top. Easy and yummy!! The kids made these all by themselves.

St. John the Baptist Brew

 

Another All Saints Day favorite from Sarah G.  We weren’t sure about how it would taste after leaving it in the frig, but it was GREAT.  We both has a few cups and could’ve sipped all afternoon with our feet up, if we’d have had the time!

ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST BREW

Yield: 4 (8oz.) servings

Ingredients:

2 cups apple cider

2 cups vanilla ice cream

2 tablespoons honey (don't add the locusts! ;)

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

 

Directions:

Blend all ingredients together and top with additional nutmeg. Serve immediately (or don't. We waited a few hours with it in the fridge and it was SOOOO good!) I also doubled the batch and will for sure triple it for Thanksgiving. Makes a great after dinner drink!!
