Organic Food In Your Backyard

    Choosing fresh organic food is a way of life.   One way to ensure that your food is organic is by growing it yourself.  At the beginning of summer I embarked on growing my own little food garden.  There has been some success, and some fails.  Overall, I’m writing it down as learning.  I have yet to get lemon seeds to grow into lush lemon trees.  I absolutely love lemons!  I always add them to a tall glass of ice cold  water.  Unfortunately, when I try planting the lemon seeds they never seem to want to grow, which is a shame.   My hope is that eventually, I will have a lemon tree in my backyard.  I have to admit limes are just not the same thing lol In the picture above, you can see that I have successfully grown mint from a packet of seeds.   I just love the fresh scent of mint.   Though I am not a fan of mojitos, mint is great for making some fun flavored mojitos …

4th of July Orange + Lemon Infused Water

    Happy 4th of July!!! Today is one of my favorite holidays!  Orange + Lemon infused water is a refreshing drink to serve your guests at your 4th of July BBQ, Brunch or Dinner party.  It’s a great way to use up your lemons and oranges.  The citrus flavor is delicious! Bonus- It’s 100% healthy and not only are you keeping yourself hydrated with water (a must during summer days) you are getting the added benefit of a Vitamin C boost to keep you energized for a day of fun in the sun and a spectacular show of fireworks. Ingredients 2 slices of oranges cut into pieces 2 slices of lemon spritz a little orange into water spritz a little lemon into water let it chill for an hour or so and then enjoy! p.s- the longer the oranges and lemons infuse into the water the strong the taste 🙂   When you have drank the last drop of your orange and lemon infused water, please don’t let the fruit pieces go to waste. …
