Showing posts with the label summer

I call it the Koala Cocktail...

This will be a very short straight to point blog, about one thing only. I'm in the middle of finals, hopefully about to graduate...Therefore I don't have much time to blog. But I really, really wanted to share this with you. Recently I started expanding my taste buds and trying out new drinks.  Normally I like to have a beer or a glass of champagne, but both are pretty high carbonated and make me bloated. So when I'm at the pool that's a NO NO! So I decided to come up with my own cocktail, with ingredients that I love. In addition these ingredients are very refreshing.  So here it is: The Koala Cocktail : Muddle mint in the shaker,  Add ice.  1 oz of cucumber vodka (or regular vodka works too) 1/2 oz of St Germain Liqueur  Shake! Shake! Shake! Pour that beautiful creation in a martini glass Drum Rolls please!  Top off with Champagne! Wait! Another Drum Roll! Garnish with a few slices of baby cucumbers This is one refreshing, delicious...

Antioxidants!!!!

Before you know it summer will be here! Start early this year and get in shape now! I love food, and I love to cook. And if you must know I don't really eat that healthy due to not liking a lot of veggies and fruits! However!!!! I have been working on making myself eat healthier and include fruits and veggies I never ate before. I usually just cook/blend them so I don't taste them as much and once I'm used to the taste a little, I try it raw. Anyway I just wanted to share my list of antioxidants: *Cranberries *Papaya seeds *GARLIC- I cook a lot of stuff with garlic *Lemon and/or  Lime juice *Raspberries *Blueberries *Beets Since I'm very picky those are my antioxidants, but there are plenty more that you may eat for the same effect, for example: Broccoli, Red Kidney Beans, Artichoke, Prunes,  Raisins, Spinach, Brussels Sprouts and many more. Also if your a lover of concentrated juice and you want to loose weight, avoid: Concentrated Orange ...
