Happy Father’s Day to all. This week I am giving Craig the weekend off since it is Father’s Day! I am focusing on one of our latest discoveries. If you like chocolate and peanut butter, this is a mac daddy of desserts. When you mix cream cheese, oreos, peanut butter, caramel and little bit of peanut butter whiskey, you have hit the pinnacle of summer desserts. Right?

We originally found this yummy recipe in an August 2016 issue of Living magazine. We have been sitting on this gold mine for far too long, and now it’s out of the bag. This dessert is rich, rich, rich, but don’t be intimidated. It is incredibly easy to make, so you will not be spending hours in a hot kitchen prepping this for your favorite father figure.

To make this delectable dessert you need: a pie crust, heavy cream, peanut butter, vanilla, cream cheese, sugar, crushed oreos and your favorite peanut butter whiskey. (We used Screwball Peanut Butter Whiskey.)

To start you will need to bake the pie crust. We used a Pillsbury refrigerated crust. Next beat together the cream, peanut butter and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Then add in the peanut butter whiskey until well combined. Add the cream cheese and sugar beating until completely combined.

Fold in some of the crushed Oreos into the cream cheese mixture. Add the mixture to the cooled pie crust. Cover and refrigerate.

Before serving sprinkle with remaining Oreos and drizzle with caramel sauce. Yummy. Yummy. Yummy!

This dessert was a huge hit in the Blind Pig household. Due to the rich flavors, we quickly noticed that small slices are best. Craig liked this dessert so much that it just might take the place of the coveted PBIF Pie that he loves so much. How about making Peanut Butter Oreo Cheesecake for your dad this Father’s Day?

Summer has definitely arrived in Texas. We hit over 100 degrees yesterday and there is no sign that it will be cooling off before late September. Each summer we designate a drink of summer and this summer Ranch Water has chosen us. We know that it may seem like we are late to the party. Ranch Water is not a new drink; it’s been around since the 1960s. However, this light and refreshing combination of mineral water, lime and tequila create the perfect, simple combination for a summer that has been blazing hot right out of the gate.

There are many choices for over-the-counter Ranch Water, and if that floats your tube, then great for you. We prefer to make our own, and use some flavor combinations that add some variety to the beverage.

We make our Ranch Water with a few simple ingredients: Blanco tequila, squeeze of fresh lime juice from half a lime, top off with Topo Chico and a lime wheel for garnish (salt on the rim optional). You can throw these ingredients together and belly flopping into the pool in no time. Not only is Ranch Water simple and refreshing it is about 80 calories per serving, so you don’t need to worry about keeping your body bathing suit ready.

Ranch Water has a low flavor profile and Topo Chico has a variety of flavors, so you can get creative with different flavors and variations in your Ranch Water. Stick with the original Topo Chico or add more lime flavor with Twist of Lime. Add a splash of orange juice and top off with an orange or tangerine slice with a Twist of Tangerine. If you like the taste of grapefruit, you can use a Twist of Grapefruit for more sparkling refreshment. A sprig of mint or a few berries added to the glass make a colorful summer presentation.

Here is a list of some of our drinks of summer in the past. Try these out or let us know what drinks you think we should add to the list.
