The Apple Of My Eye

Let me start this by saying I am an apply crisp lover. However, now matter where you get it, it is bound to have a million gazillion calories. That doesn’t really work for me. What I have discovered, ladies, is the answer to my prayers. Dole Apply Cinnamon Fruit Crisp. Individual apple crisp serving that can travel with me wherever I may go. Low calorie, low fat, and delicious. A+ rating in my book.

Hump Day Happy Hour: Sweet Melissa

I have yet to try this drink, but I thought I would share it with y’all since it shares my name 🙂 Doesn’t it sound like it should involve a lounge chair, a pool, and the sun… and maybe even a paper umbrella? I can foresee all of these things in my future…

  • 1 1/2 oz. Rum, coconut
  • 1 1/2 oz. Vodka, vanilla
  • 1 splash Cranberry Juice
  • 1 part Orange Juice
  • 1 part Pineapple Juice
  • 1 wedge Lime

Add rum and vodka to a hurricane glass full of ice. Fill with desired amount of pineapple and orange juice, topping with a splash of cranberry. Squeeze a lime wedge over it and then drop it in. Enjoy!

Hump Day Happy Hour: Shower Edition

Everyone’s got a shower or two to plan or go to this season, right?  Who doesn’t love that cheesy sherbet punch at showers?  I can’t say that I have often imagined spiking the pink punch:)

Time to make this ol’ fav a lil’ tipsy.

  • 750ML Bottle of Champagne (more or less to taste, I say more)
  • Three Cups of Pineapple Juice
  • Half Gallon of Rainbow Sherbet
  • Cute ice cubes or an ice mold
