My name is The Dough Queen. Well, I mean, not really. But since this is the world wide interweb, we will pretend. It’ll be fun. I’m a wife, daughter, sister and friend. I adore my family, and I love to laugh. I love my TiVo, the Green Bay Packers, the Cubbies, diet Mountain Dew, pedicures, scrapbooking, chick flicks, 80's rock, dogs, Harleys, golfing (ok, driving the cart) and reality tv.
I've been married to my best friend for 12 years and we have two very hairy, rambunctious yellow labs, Indy and Jo. Hubby and I own the U-Bake store in La Crosse, WI. I work pretty much 7 days a week but I love (almost) every second of it! It's really rewarding to make a difference in the lives of busy families!
In conclusion, I do not care for unicorns, ironing, self-righteousness, mushrooms or clowns. Never let your jello get warm and always remember its ok to eat M&M's off the floor.
U-Bake Bits and Pieces from The Queen with The Crooked Crown: Homemade Cocktail Sauce
Homemade Cocktail Sauce
OK peeps, I love cocktail sauce. I love to dip french fries in cocktail sauce too - actually I rotate between cocktail sauce and ranch dressing. Anyway, alot of store bought prepared cocktail sauces are on the sweet side. And sweets should be saved for desserts (which could be from the catsup) so Hubby and I were inspired to make our own homemade sauce. Tomato paste was the logical first ingredient and it added a pure, naturally sweet, concentrated tomato flavor that paired wonderfully with the other robustly flavored ingredients. The horseradish, Worcestershire, garlic and lemon make for a winning cocktail sauce without a hint of unnatural sweetness. Try it, but I warn you-there is no going back to bottled after one bite.
Ingredient: 3/4 cup tomato paste 1/2 cup prepared horseradish 1/4 cup white vinegar 2 cloves garlic 1/4 small onion 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon U-Bake salt 1/2 teaspoon U-Bake pepper juice of 1 lemon
Directions: Place the tomato paste, vinegar, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, onion, salt, pepper and lemon juice into a food processor or blender. Pulse until mostly smooth. Add the horseradish and pulse until evenly distributed. Refrigerate leftovers.
Call me promptly for dinner Kris
