I made jerk chicken wings last night at midnight.

They were delish.

I've been on a salad kick lately. I can't get enough. It feels good to eat healthy. 

So I ventured to DC the other day to try out a new restaurant with a friend, and I must say I'm SO glad I did. The destination of choice was Cuba Libre restaurant and Rum bar. From the food to the decor... the whole evening was a welcome change from the usual. After way too much time skimming the menu the waitress suggested the 'Churrasco a la Cubana', and anyone who goes there I highly recommend it! Best food I've had in years. And don't even get me started on their happy hour. A great night was had by all, and I will definitely be adding this one to my 'going out' list. 

come out and play.

 It's the little things.

I've included the recipe and a simple picture tutorial after the jump.

Strawberry Jell-O shots

(credit)

Here is what you will need:

• 24 Strawberries (the bigger the better)
• 1 box of Strawberry Jell-o
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup chilled tequila
• 1/4 cup sugar or salt
• 2 or 3 Limes

Before you make the jell-o you’ll need to prep the strawberries so they are ready to be filled. Start by snipping off the bottom ends of the strawberries so they will have a flat base to stand up. Make sure to not cut off too much of the bottom end or you will have a hole and your jell-o will run out the bottom. Try slicing off very thin pieces and to make sure the strawberry can stand on it own without tipping over while still not cutting through and making a hole. Once the strawberries can stand on their own, use a pairing knife or a melon baller and carve out the middle flesh of the strawberry to make a nice cavity. This is where you will be pouring your Jell-o so make it a nice sized hole.

Now that your strawberries are prepped, you can start making the Jell-o mixture. Boil the cup of water and then whisk in the Jell-o mix. Once the Jell-o is all dissolved, pour in your tequila. Continue to stir it all together until you are satisfied it is properly mixed. The chilled tequila should cool down the mixture to the point you can pour the Jell-o into your strawberries. You can garnish with a thin lime wedge and let set overnight in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, just roll the top edges of the strawberries in sugar or salt depending on your preference and serve.

Think I'll attempt these for Cinco de Mayo!

UPDATE:

Used oranges instead. Super easy and they looked and tasted great!
