Frozen Strawberry Margaritas
"I had the best margarita ever when I was visiting my brother in Boston. Shortly after I arrived home, I had a Southern Living magazine that had a mix very similar to the base of the strawberry margarita I had just a little ways from Harvard. Of course, I had to tweak things to make it just the way I like it--I hope that you enjoy this as much as I do. My favorite way to have this is using Cointreau for the orange liqueur and a nice silver tequila. Everyone who has had one of my margaritas generally keeps coming back for more. :)"

I made my neighbor buddy post this recipe before she left for vacation because I would be terribly sad to go a week without one. If you are one of those people who thinks tequila smells like monkey's butt (me too), then you have to try a silver tequila. You can tell the difference just sniffing the cork and it is so smooth going down. It will cost you more but it is worth it. Then you can treat yourself to these fine margaritas. It is hard to stop at one, two, and even three! -
Very good, used Cointreau also and Cuervo Especial. Made for TexMex Photo Challenge.

I am originally from the Pacific Northwest but was transplanted to the east coast when my hubby went back to school to get his Ph.D. My husband and I are parents to two boys that we fondly refer to as "Search & Destroy" and our golden retriever, Sydney. I'm a stay-at-home mom and have just started homeschooling our children.
I L-O-V-E to cook and bake. Honestly, I think I pretty much always have--it is something I inherited from my mom. :) She is the one who taught me to not be afraid to make a recipe, and when I'm not sure what a term means, to look it up (or ask someone who knows to talk me through it). My friends Lisa, Sharon and Shannon have also taught me a lot too (you'll see a few recipes that I've posted that I have received from these lovely ladies). And, I'd say that my experience as a prep cook for a brew pub in college taught me quite a bit too. :)
I also like to make jam, to bake my own fresh loaves of whole wheat bread from flour that I have ground myself, and to preserve fruits and vegetables like my Grams taught me. Gardening is a new-found hobby of mine, and preparing foods with fresh fruits that I have harvested is so rewarding!
I love my Oregon Ducks and am a proud alumnae of the University of Oregon.
When we have a ladies' event at my church, I'm generally involved in the food aspect, in one way or another. The recipes I'm best-known for are my dessert recipes.
