Cherry Chia Smoothie

August 21, 2018 by Debbie Leave a Comment

This Cherry Chia Smoothie is smooth, creamy and full of yummy goodness. Cherries are one of my favorite fruits and the chia seeds adds flavor and nuttiness. I like to base my fruit smoothies with a Greek yogurt , it is sort of tangy and goes with the sweetness of fruit. I started experimenting with smoothies a few years ago when my teenagers discovered the local smoothie shop. If they had an unlimited budget they would be there everyday but $7-9 a pop they would rather me make them at home and save their money for more important things.

Liquid Sunshine Punch

May 20, 2018 by Debbie Leave a Comment

I always thought it was a cliche that in a blink of an eye your children will be grown. I am not speaking of my actual child but my sweet niece , she graduated from college this past week. It seems like yesterday she was running and playing with her long blonde hair in pigtails getting dirty with all her cousins , much to her mother’s dismay. She adored her Granny and always seemed to be with her when we went to visit hanging on every word we said. She was an adorable child that we all loved to be around and has transformed into fine young lady. At her graduation party I was feeling pretty old sitting with the young college aged girls until I tasted this punch they threw together. It was really something they just sort of made up and it was perfect to sip on sitting in the heat by the pool. This was happiness in a cup and made me feel much better.

My husband and three teenage boys are suckers for anything peanut butter and chocolate. I have a ton of recipes in my personal arsenal of recipes that has this combination, I will get around to sharing them all someday. My oldest son just wrapped up his sophomore year of high school wrestling and in usual fashion it’s time to eat all of his favorite things. For the past 4 months he has been eating high protein , no refined sugar and no sodas at all. He is pretty strict and his wrestling coach has spies… he pays the football players with pizza if they spot a wrestler eating or drinking something they shouldn’t, LOL. Today we got home from his final tournament for the year and I decided to make everyone a little treat.

Mango Key Lime Margaritas

I am so excited about this recipe !! Have you ever had a margarita made in an ice cream maker ? Well, I am here to tell you that you won’t want them any other way. Freezing these frosty beverages like this makes them a slushy perfection. Another reason I am excited is I got to use my cute parrot margarita glasses I got 75% off at Pier One last year. They are adorable and I just love them.

During the holidays all the coffee shops sell the perfect warm concoction that just oozes the taste of Christmas. The first time a Peppermint Mocha every passed my lips it was like the skies opened up and I heard angels sing ..I WAS HOOKED!! These coffee shop beverages are so good but not too friendly to the pocket book. When I was coming up with this I wanted something that was everyday affordable and easy.
