STRAWBERRY, MINT, LEMON WATER

SO AS YOU ALL KNOW BY NOW I'M A PINTEREST JUNKY...

With that being said I stumbled onto this "detox water recipe" and tweaked it a little to suit my tastes and decided to share it with y'all!

This recipe is simple and super tasty! 

Makes 2 Liters

• 1 lemon, thinly sliced
• 15 strawberries quartered
• 5 mint leaves
• 2 cups of ice
• Water

In a large pitcher, add the lemon and strawberries. Over the pitcher squeeze and slightly twist the mint, do not tear apart you only want to gently release the oils, add the mint leaves to the fruit. Top with ice and water. Let the pitcher sit in the fridge for 1 hour before serving.

When the water is down to 1/4 full in the pitcher, refill with water and place back in the fridge. You can do this several times. Store Strawberry, Mint, and Lemon Water in the fridge up to 24 hours.

SOUR PATCH GRAPES

So it's no surprise... i love candy!

I'm always looking for healthy alternatives to my favorite candies. Pinterest has become my very best friend when it comes to sharing recipes! 

So today, when I was at the Wilco gas station, I probably stood there for five minutes trying to rationalize buying and eating a box of sour patch kids. I tried everything way possible to talk myself into it. "You have earned it, You are 10lbs below what your goal weight was go for it, Your gonna workout when you get home anyway you'll burn it off". 

Fast forward 2hrs. later, I did get my workout in but I'm still craving those little sour beasts! The biggest thing I have learned in this weight loss journey is you CANNOT out work a bad diet. This realization was a hard pill to swallow but I know it to be true! 

THANK THE GOOD LORD ABOVE FOR PINTEREST! 

So now I'm aimlessly plugging in to Pinterest when BAM! I find the coolest recipe in the whole world! It was exactly what I needed so I definitely wanted to share it with everyone! THIS IS GENIUS!

MY NEW FAVORITE DRINK!

OK SO IT'S COLD OUTSIDE, THE WIND IS BLOWING SO HARD IT SOUNDS LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN IS MOWING DOWN MY HOUSE AND WE ARE EXPECTING SNOW! 

WITH THAT BEING SAID, YOU WOULD THINK I WOULD WANT SOMETHING WARM AND SOOTHING...WELL THE WATER FREAK IN ME SAYS NO, THEREFORE I HAVE LOOKED AND LOOKED FOR A NEW WATER RECIPE THAT WOULD GIVE ME A YUMMY CHANGE OF PACE ALL DAY! 

THIS IS WHAT I FOUND! COOLING PEACH AND MINT INFUSED WATER! OH MY, THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE DRINK!

Makes 1 pitcher of Cooling Peach and Mint Infused Water, refill up to 8 times.

Ingredients:

• 1 long sprig of Mint, or a handful of leaves you can tie together with kitchen twine
• 10 frozen Peach Slices, plus more to garnish (optional)
• Water and Ice

Get started:

Drop peaches in your pitcher, then the mint, top with ice and water and place in fridge for 4 hours or overnight. Serve in a wine glass*, garnish with a frozen peach slice (also acts as a ice cube) you can refill the pitcher up to 8 times, or until the flavor dissipates. I found that leaving the mint leaves on the sprig was easier and I got less debris in my drink that way too.
