Sweet Life featured on Tiki Tiki

I am happy to be featured on Tiki Tiki sharing one of my favorite fruit treats! Mango Paletas Please stop by and share your thoughts! Comments Closed

Pina y Pepino Margarita

Sipping Saturday  This week’s margarita is inspired from my weekly grocery runs.  Located directly between the fresh fruit and vegetables a stall devoted to agua frescas (fresh water made from fruit) greets me every week.  Vitroleros (huge, beehive shaped glass jars) line the stall bursting at the seam with a rainbow of colors that make me weak in the knees.  Instantly my tunnel vision sets in and I make my way over attempting to select my agua fresca from the endless selection. This week I spotted pina and pepino (pineapple and cucumber). I couldn’t resist.  A cooling, cleansing flavor with a hint of lemon.  I shopped, sipped and loaded my truck enjoying my agua.  Enjoy!  

Lavender Citrus Cooler

  Happy Friday!! As citrus season winds down I couldn’t help but share one more refreshing idea.  As the days pass the once 18lb bags of oranges stacked ready to be swooped up are replaced with  single citrus by the dollar.  Citrus season is one of my favorite seasons, but with the end of one season another quickly blesses us.  A simple syrup is infused with lavender buds, allow to cool and swirl in fresh orange juice for a colorful glass of citrus shine! Enjoy!   

Papaya Margarita

 Sipping Saturday The temperatures are rising in my little corner of the world.  Light meals followed by refreshing beverages are currently on our menu.  Fresh fruit for breakfast, agua fresca and paletas are what we crave.  Lucky me, our endless supply of fruit continues to fuel my margarita obsession.  Today I share with you a papaya margarita.  Enjoy!

Sweet or Savory Avocado Breakfast Sauce

 Busy mornings call for quick, tasty, colorful meals.  Fruit salad and tostadas are a two of my favorite go to breakfast meals.  Both offer endless combinations of flavors.  Throw into the mix a creamy avocado breakfast sauce and breakfast is served!

Cantaloupe Margarita

   Sipping Saturday I made a tasty fruit salad for my girls on Wednesday.  I couldn’t help but save a few slices for a bright melon margarita.  The color reminds me of summer weekends spent at the beach with family.  With our feet in the hot sand we would snack on cold melon. Have a wonderful weekend! Sweet Life

Pamper. Protect. Please. Piquin. My hubby had a horrible week at work. Tense, long days of struggle and endless question.  My hubby is not one to bring home his troubles, but I as his wife knows him best.  This is when I do the following.
