Notes

-To make 1/2 cup simple syrup: Boil 1/2 cup water and add 1/2 cup granulated white sugar. Turn heat down, simmer, and stir until dissolved. Turn the heat off and let it cool. -Use fresh fruit for this recipe - frozen doesn't taste as well, in my opinion. -If you want to make the pineapple into start shaped pieces, cut long and wide pieces of pineapple and use a star cutter to cut the shape out!

Nothing Gets Between Me and My ITO EN Green Tea Review & Giveaway

admin — Sun, 20 May 2012 13:46:41 +0000

~ This Review & Giveaway is done by SaraLee’s Deals Steals & Giveaways ~

Hubby is the Tea drinker in our house and was excited to try the Teas’ Tea we got to review. For lunch Friday hubby took the low calorie Teas’ Tea slightly sweetened Blueberry green tea and loved it. After working on a machine in a hot factory hubby said the Blueberry green tea was very refreshing. Then today after mowing the lawn hubby came in and had the Teas’ Tea Unsweetened Jasmine Green Tea. He said it was a good cool down drink. We will definitely be buying more.

Product Description

A little more of a story: Yoga + Green Tea = the perfect marriage

When we realized that Beth Shaw, founder ofYogaFit, was purchasing our Teas’ Tea 2Liter bottles of Jasmine Green tea by the case, and Beth always carries around a 2L Jasmine Green Tea,
it was clear that we could not ask for a better brand ambassador. The holistic lifestyle of yoga including the awareness of how you care for yourself body, mind and soul – and the health benefits and wellness of Green Tea is truly in perfect alignment.

“Like YogaFit, ITO EN is a leader in their category. ITO EN teas are natural, committed to health and top quality. I LOVE Ito En green tea because it is truly the only beverage that is anti aging, good for weight management and gives me just the right amount of energy to get through my busy life. I drink it every day,” explains Beth Shaw enthusiastically, “Nothing Gets Between Me and My Ito En Jasmine Green.”

Teas’
Tea Jasmine Green Tea: Authentically brewed, naturally high in tea antioxidants, entirely unsweetened / zero calories, and containing 100% or more of daily value of vitamin C – no wonder Teas’ Tea Jasmine Green Tea is Beth Shaw’s daily healthy habit choice. The Jasmine Green tea is infused with the scent of Jasmine flowers by alternating several layers of the
flower within the green tea leaves prior to brewing. It provides a refreshing taste and soothing fragrance.

Spotlight Saturday – Barbara from Atlanta’s Frugal Mom!

admin — Sat, 12 May 2012 16:00:01 +0000

Barbara resides in Atlanta, with her husband, two red-headed kids, and sweet dog. When she’s not busy stuffing veggies in to her meals, Barbara enjoys blogging as Atlanta’s Frugal Mom, reading, writing, swimming, and getting down with her little ones. Actually, after all that, she enjoys nothing more than a good night’s sleep, a rare luxury these days.

Call me Popeye. What can I say? I love to cook with spinach. Up until recently, it’s been in just about any dish I made with chicken or ground turkey. However, I crossed the line the other morning when I (deliberately) baked spinach in to my pancakes.

My three-year-old daughter comes from a long line of picky eaters, so I’m always looking for ways to stuff extra veggies in to her diet. And since, in our house, she’s regarded as The Pancake Kid, it seemed only natural to try to stuff some veggies in to her pancakes. We’ve done bananas and we’ve done applesauce in our pancakes, but I really wanted to push the envelope. After all, my kid needs iron! So, she and I traipsed in to the kitchen a few mornings ago, and made our pancakes as usual, but with one special ingredient. She looked at me curiously as I finely chopped up about a cup of fresh (not frozen) spinach. We stirred it in to the batter, and she watched in amazement as it tinged the batter a slightly green color. We prepared them as usual, and things went off without a hitch. Drenched with just the right amount of syrup, she gobbled them up!

Next up, we may experiment with something perhaps a bit more tame, like squash. But for now, I’ve found a way to not only give my daughter an extra boost of iron, but also a way to spend quality time baking and bonding. :o)
