Crispy Marshmallow Lemon Pie

So, all I blog about is food right now. Sorry, but it is just what is on my mind! And food is one of my favorite things in the whole world.

Today, I'm going to share one of the EASIEST dessert recipes I've ever made. The key is that it has to set so be sure to make the night before or at least 2 hours before the event you want to bring it to!

The hardest part is the crust, so I took lots of pictures to break it down for you! It is super yummy and I will continue to make this recipe.

Steps:

Follow the directions underneath each picture and you'll get a yummy pie! :)

1. Microwave butter in a large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 30 seconds or until melted.

2. Grease your pie pan with some butter or cooking spray or else the crust will stick!

3. Add the dry gelatin mix, marshmallows, and butter together. Toss everything together to coat. 

4. Microwave 1 minute or until marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is blended, stirring after 45 seconds.

5. Add the cereal to the mixture and mix well.

7. Press the cereal mixture into the bottom and upside of your 9-inch greased pie plate.

Beer-Battered Halibut & Fixins

So, I've got another recipe for ya! Being in Alaska, we have a freezer FULL of Halibut. I have never really been a fish person, but halibut is the best. And however you make it, it is so good- grilled, fried, in pasta or lasagna or chowder. 

I can say with certainty, though, that this recipe is my hands down favorite. Beer battered halibut is AMAZING. You should come to Alaska, come fishing with us, and get your own halibut to fry!

I am in no way recommending this as a healthy recipe, so Mom, forgive me for the fried food. :)

  

So, this is your end product. Beer Battered Halibut with fixins on homemade tortillas. You can check out my homemade tortilla recipe here.
We loved it with as tacos but it is good just eating the beer battered halibut on its own with tartar sauce.

Beer Battered Halibut

Ingredients:
1 cup dark beer
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1- 1/2 pounds halibut
1 quart (or close to it) vegetable oil, for frying
Flour or Corn Tortillas, or make your own!
Shredded Cabbage
Mayonnaise
Salsa
1 Lime

Directions:

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beer, flour, and salt.
Step 2: Rinse the fish and pat it dry. Cut into 2-3 inch strips.
Step 3: Fill a large saucepan up with about 1 inch of oil. Heat the oil until it reaches 360 degrees, or hot enough until if you drop a small bit of water it will sizzle.
Step 4: Using a fork, coat the fish in the batter.
Step 5: Slide the fish into the hot oil in batches and make sure to adjust the heat to maintain oil temperature.
Step 6: Fry the fish until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Lift out with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on paper towels. Repeat to remaining fish.
Step 7: Stack fish on tortillas. Garnish with cabbage, mayonnaise, salsa, and a squeeze of lime.

Special Sauce:
We also made a special sauce with a mix of a little bit of the following ingredients (use your judgement as to how spicy you would want it):
Sour Cream, Mayonnaise, Salsa, Tiny Bit of Tabasco Sauce, Cumin, Garlic Powder, Salt, and a little Cilantro

We LOVE Guacomole and Chips with just about every meal. Tony has an amazing way of making Guacomole, so maybe someday he will share!

If you haven't bought the "Hint of Lime" Tostitos, you are missing out! They are so good. And especially good with this meal. 

Don't forget the salsa. It's a must- for eating with chips, for a dipping sauce, or to garnish the tacos.

For us, we like to cook with beer that we could actually drink.

We used Fire Rock Pale Ale by Kona Brewing Company.

Some other suggestions for good beer for this recipe could be:

Samuel Adams Brown Ale

Samuel Adams Scotch Ale

Anderson Valley Oatmeal Stout

Or any Pale Ale

Margaritas would have also been good with this meal.

Enjoy! :)
