Caribbean Beach Bread and Coconut Pineapple Ice Cream

I made Tastefully Simple's Caribbean Beach Bread last night for the first time and it was amazing, especially served with coconut pineapple ice cream. The warm cake with the cold ice cream and the tropical flavors were a hit!

I prepared the bread mix as directed on the box: cake mix with 8 oz of crushed pineapple (in juice) and 3/4 cup of water. I baked it for 45 minutes at 350 degrees and let it cool for 15. Then I served it with Dreyer's Slow Churned Coconut Pineapple ice cream.



It's light and fluffy and not too sweet. Perfect for breakfast or a light dessert. It was so easy to make and absolutely DELICIOUS! I will definitely be making this again very soon.



Caribbean Beach Bread is only available until July 31, 2011 as part of this season's Returning Favorites Collection. Buy just the bread for $6.99 or get the whole collection for $39.25 and receive a Cool 'n' Creamy Cucumber Dip FREE with your collection.

Valentine's Day Wine Baskets


Samba Sangria Wine Baskets make a great Valentine's Day gift for just about anyone--teachers, co-workers, family, spouse, children (21+ of course), and mothers especially =)

Each basket includes a Tastefully Simple Samba Sangria Slush drink bucket, 2 bottles of wine, 2 wine glasses, and a recipe card with serving suggestions all wrapped in a beautifully decorated basket for $25. Place an order by emailing tspartymama@gmail.com. Be sure to specify if you prefer white wine, otherwise your basket will contain red wine.

Sangria Slushies can be made with either red or white wine, or even vodka, rum, or tequila. It is super easy to make! Simply add your favorite wine and water and put in the freezer to freeze. Because they contain alcohol, Tastefully Simple frozen drink buckets stay slushy in the freezer. Just open the freezer and scoop it into your glass for a delicious, super simple treat! Great for easy and elegant entertaining--just serve with either crackers, French bread, Brie cheese and/or grapes. All Tastefully Simple drink buckets sell individually for only $9.99, and each bucket makes about 10 8oz glass servings. That's only $1 per drink. Try finding frozen drinks this good at any bar for that price (even during happy hour!).

Here are some serving suggestions:



• Garnish with sliced oranges, lemons or limes.
• Excellent served with:
Fiesta Party Dip Mix
Bacon Bacon Dip
Cheese and crackers
Sliced deli meats and French bread
Red or green grapes
• Best prepared with a dry red wine such as Merlot, Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon.
• Use white wine for a sweeter pink sangria slush.
• Mix with vodka instead of wine for a Samba Sangrini, with rum for a Samba
Daiquiri, or with tequila for a Samba Sangarita.
• Serve in lowball glasses or wine glasses.
• Look for more recipes online.
