I’m home from traveling for a bit and I must say it’s been nice. I love to explore new areas and that’s what I did last week! Keith and I went to Branson, MO and New Orleans, for some much needed alone time. I’ll be putting up several travel pieces over the coming weeks so…
Summer Drinks – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party 126
In my opinion, a tasty drink is always underrated. I don’t drink alcohol, but I sure appreciate a well-made beverage and think it could really steal the show at a BBQ, if done right. Bring on the special punch with scoops of sherbet in it, or the fizzy fruity goodness of soda and juice concoctions….
Breakfast Smoothie Recipes – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party 118
After the good eats from our long weekend, it’s time to get my eating back on track. I’ve decided smoothies are one of the easiest ways for me to get some of the nutrients I’ve been lacking. I add some spinach for my iron levels and then I play with a variety of breakfast smoothie…
Summer Strawberry Recipes – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party 116
I just had the most amazing chocolate dipped strawberries for Mother’s Day! I’ve purchased them at the store before and they just weren’t very good because oftentimes stores use unripe strawberries.

Strawberry Pina Colada: a Patriotic Mocktail
This post is sponsored by DOLE® Canned 100% Pineapple Juice. With the summer heat I’m longing to be on sandy beaches with the waves crashing onto shore, and a frozen drink in my hand. I’m so sensory oriented, and tastes and smells elicit fond memories for me. I knew I wanted to carry my memories of Hawaii…
Spring Moscow Mule Mocktail
As a Pinterest regular, I have noticed many varieties of Moscow Mules. Being the non-alcohol drinker I am, I first had to do some research about what a mule is other than a backless shoe or pack animal. I found out these popular drinks are named for the Moscow Mule, and because they look adorable…
