Monday Menu: Sparkling Fruit Refresher

glass with straw filled with fruit drink

I was on the phone with a friend and he was going through a coffeeshop drive-thru. He said he had ordered a mango-strawberry lemonade. As it was ridiculously hot here, it sounded perfect.

Only thing is, I’m not fond of paying $5 for a small drink. I’m funny like that, LOL. So I decided I needed to make my own.

I’m not a fan of really sweet drinks, so I modified it to be more fruity, less sugary. You can adapt easily. Substitute lemonade or orange juice for the sparkling lemon water.

Monday Menu: Experimenting With Ingredients

Chicken breasts on a blue plate Someone gave me a jar of Guava Fruit Spread and I’ve been playing with ways to use it. I started with thumb print cookies. This weekend I decided to try it on grilled chicken breasts and with some experimentation, decided it paired well with citrus and chipotles in adobo sauce. I always have a jar on hand and try to find different ways to use it, too. Guava Chipotles Chicken Breast
