Raspberry Lime Rickey

Sweet and tangy, this drink is so refreshing and the perfect beverage for Summer! It does require a little bit of preparation before hand, but trust me...it's worth it!















Rasperry Lime Rickey
From: www.melskitchencafe.com

12 oz. package frozen raspberries ( I used fresh ones)
2 cups sugar
4 tsp grated lime zest
1/2 cup lime juice
club soda, chilled
Ice
Heat raspberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat until the raspberries begin to release their juices, about 5 minutes. Mash the berries with a potato masher until the berries break down, then stir in the lime zest and juice.
Pour the raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl, pressing on solids to extract the liquid. This works best done in batches so the seeds don't clog up the bottom of the mesh strainer. You should end up with about 2 1/2 cups of syrup. Discard the berry solids. Refrigerate the syrup until completely cool, at least 30 minutes or up to 1 week. To serve, combine 3/4 cup club soda and 3 TBSP syrup in ice-filled glasses.

Yummy! Does this kick our strawberry limeades to the curb, Kirsti?

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Bread Twists

These are my new go-to bread sticks for two reasons - taste and time. They have a wonderful buttery/garlic flavor and the kosher salt adds a delightful savory crunch.  The other thing I love about these is how quickly they come together.  It only takes one hour from start to finish.  One hour!  That's almost unheard of for a yeast bread.  Try these out next time you want some bread with your dinner but are short on time.
