Mimosa
A wonderful concoction of non alcoholic sparkling wine or sparkling water with orange juice! That is all! I prefer orange juice with pulp, but cannot find any orange juice with pulp around here. Can you? If so, where? I guess that I need to search online. A frugal and delicious mocktail. I hope that you like it!…

5 Different Raspberry Mocktails
I love raspberries. The 5 recipes attached here are awesome! My favorite? The 4th recipe. Muddled raspberries with ginger ale and lemonade. The gentleman drained the raspberries, but personally, I am going to keep the raspberries included. The raspberries are the best part! Be sure to tell your favorite!

Dirty Dr. Pepper (any soft drink can work)
This is REALLY good! A little Dr. Pepper. A little lime juice. Half n Half (optional) but the main ingredient is often hard to find and that is coconut syrup... More than likely you need to find online. This past week, I ordered my coconut syrup on www.skinnymixes.com. $7.99 per bottle, but big bottles. I am going to use…

Coffee Orange Mocktail
This recipe seems so good! Enough to perk you up on a freezing winter's day or night to get you to think of summer. Instead of squeezing a lemon by hand, I would simply buy a carton of orange juice. Don't have honey in your pantry? Improvise! What is your favorite sweetener? If you would rather buy some honey, than do it!…

Favorite Cookbooks
Two (2) of my favorite cookbooks are written by JoAnna M. Lund. She lost 100 pounds by tweaking her own recipes! The cookbooks of her's that I own are called "Party Fare" (party food) and "A Potful of Recipes" (Crock-Pot recipes). Out of all, my favorite is Acapulco Tuna Salad out of "Party Fare". In a bowl, mix: a can of…

Grocery Shopping Lists
https://pin.it/3rkvozQ I grew up on the Mediterranean diet. I have attempted every diet that there is, but I always return to the Mediterranean diet. The attached Mediterranean diet grocery shopping list makes shopping much easier. One item not on the list is wine. Most Mediterranean diets include 2 glasses of wine each…

Hot Doctor Pepper
This recipe for Hot Doctor Pepper is mega frugal! All of the ingredients are simply Dr. Pepper and lemon slices. If you do not have lemons in your pantry or cannot afford fresh lemons, simply use lemon juice from a bottle or one of those little squeeze bottles found in the produce section of your local grocery store which…

New York Egg Cream
I prepare this mocktail recipe quite often. Tastes sooooooo good! That's how good! Recipes call for whole milk but I use skim and tastes fine. A little chocolate syrup. A little seltzer. A little milk. That's all! I like this mocktail especially when I want an alcoholic beverage but have none in my house. Satisfies the…

Low Calories
When you prepare a garden salad, I learned the hard way of pouring salad dressing. Instead of pouring a ton of ranch or Italian or French or whatever you like... Get out a bottle of oil and vinegar. Take the bottle caps off. Use 2 cap fulls of each sparingly. Very satisfying. Tastes just as good as a dressing but even…

Alleluia! I Think I Can Return
I got out my older laptop that was collecting dust. I think I may be able to return! So, far so good. I was able to find the "join" button, so that is a start, right? What have I been missing out on? Let's get this ball rolling! I may not be team leader anymore, but I have so much to talk about! Yay!
