BLUE MOON ICE CREAM

Steps:

• 1. ****** FYI: JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS.....PLEASE UNDERSTAND that this ice cream is NOT supposed to mimic ANY blue raspberry/raspberry treats that you've had at or from any other establishment! There is not going to be a strong raspberry flavor to this ice cream either. The flavor is VERY FAINT. If you read my previous comments, you will see that this ice cream originated in Milwaukee, WI and can only be found in Wisconsin and Michigan. The flavor is like no other and many WI and MI residents, that actually grew up eating it, are STILL trying to figure out just WHAT the flavor is actually supposed to be! However...WE STILL LOVE IT AS IT BRINGS BACK SUCH WONDERFUL CHILDHOOD MEMORIES!! :-D ******
• 2. In a medium saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat to scalding. Add the sugar and salt, stir until completely dissolved.
• 3. Add the heavy cream and vanilla pudding mix; stir until pudding mix has been blended.
• 4. Remove from the heat. Add in the vanilla, raspberry, and lemon extracts. Add the blue food coloring; stir to blend well and get a consistent blue color. *You want the color to be as shown in the picture, as that's the TRUE color of this ice cream.
• 5. Transfer the mixture to a container and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 - 3 hours.
• 6. Once cold, pour mixture into your ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions.
• 7. **I'm even more happy now than before!! I found a website where I can order the actual blue moon ice cream that I grew up on (from the actual dairy/creamery in Wisconsin)!! They also still make the blue moon ice cream sandwiches. YEA!!!! I'm still going to continue making this recipe as well though, as it's a very good copy cat recipe and you can never have too much blue moon ice cream (at least I cant)!

OPEN-FACE BLUE MOON BURGERS WITH 'SHROOMS

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the ground sirloin, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped shallot. Mix thoroughly. Score the meat with your hand, marking 4 equal portions. Form each portion into a large 1-inch-thick patty. Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the patties liberally with some salt and pepper and then drizzle the patties with a little EVOO and place in the hot skillet. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the patties are firm to the touch and cooked through.
• Preheat the broiler.
• While the burgers are cooking, preheat a second large skillet over medium-high heat with the 2 tablespoons of EVOO, twice around the pan, and the butter. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and spread them out in an even layer, resisting the temptation to stir for a few minutes to let the mushrooms start to brown. Once brown, go ahead and stir, continuing to cook for 2 minutes, then add the onions and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring every now and then, for about 3 minutes, or until the onions start to look tender. Add the chicken stock, bring it up to a bubble, and simmer for about 2 minutes. Add the parsley and stir to combine; taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
• While the burgers and the mushrooms are working, toast the bread slices under the broiler until they are golden on both sides.
• Coarsely chop the basil and arugula.
• Place a piece of toast on each serving plate. Top each piece of toast with 1 slice of red tomato and 1 slice of yellow tomato and season the tomatoes with a little salt and pepper. Sprinkle the tomatoes with the arugula-basil mixture and put a cooked burger on top of that. Add the blue cheese crumbles of the mushrooms, stir to combine, and top each burger with the mushroom-blue mixture. Grab a fork and a knife and dig in.

BLUE MOON CROCK POT ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Set 5 quart crock pot to Low temp. Remove neck, & innards from inside chicken. Rinse chicken well with cold water. Place quartered onion, 2 whole garlic cloves, & bay leaves inside chicken & set inside crock pot, timer up. This allows the garlic, onion and bay leaves to infuse from the inside & throughout the meat.
• 2. Melt butter. Drizzle over chicken & rub into skin with fingers. I call it massaging the meat (a lil kitchen humor). In a small bowl, add rosemary, parsley, oregano, basil, thyme, salt, & pepper. Mix together. I use fresh when available, but dried is just as good! You can adjust seasonings to your taste. Sprinkle mixed seasonings over chicken. Chicken will be covered well.
• 3. Pour beer around chicken, not over. Place sliced onion on top of and around chicken.
• 4. Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or until timer indicates chicken is done. Cook times will vary depending on weight of chicken. Side note: I periodically "baste" the chicken if I'm home to do so.
• 5. When chicken is done, it will be very tender, and fall apart when removing from crock pot, I use 2 large slotted spoons, one at each end of the chicken to gently remove from crock pot to keep chicken together. Don't fret if it falls apart..... allow to stand for 10 minutes to allow juices to soak in, cut & serve. Strain juices in crock pot and use to prepare gravy or your favorite home made chicken soup!

BLUE MOON PANCAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients and stir until lumps are gone. Ladle onto a hot (350 degrees) griddle coated with vegetable oil or clarified butter. If you would like to add extra ingredients, such as chocolate chips or berries, sprinkle them on the wet side of the pancake now, while the underside cooks. Look for bubbles on the wet surface (a sign that the air is cooking out of the pancakes), or use a spatula to peek underneath, making sure the pancake is golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with syrup, whipped cream and more berries or chocolate chips.
