Grape GGMS

My FAVORITE flavor of GGMS is grape. Oh, how I love grape.  I honestly think my love of grape stems from my childhood.  Growing up my mother bought orange juice, not grape juice.  Also she would serve strawberry jam, not grape jelly.  She also wouldn't buy purple grapes, just green.  I love my mother but I  think I harbor a resentment of some sort deep down.  Yes, I love my mother but I also love grape. 

 Making grape GGMS isn't hard but it also isn't the healthiest option out there. I have yet to find a tea that is grape flavored or another drink mix that doesn't have maltodextrin or dextrose  in it.  Great Value is stevia sweetened but also has sugar and is a little higher in the carb range but I only drink it once or twice a week and that is fine with me.

 1 package Great Value Grape flavored drink mix (make sure you get the right one-see picture)the single serve size (this is a personal choice as it does have off plan ingredients)
1 tablespoon baobab powder
2 tablespoons ACV

 Pour the drink mix, ACV and Baobab powder in a 1 liter bottle.   And then...Shake, shake, shake senora and drink, it all the time!

OK, who can resist the urge to shake when they hear this?

Quote of the Day:
"My favorite fruit is grapes.  Because with grapes, you always get another chance.  'Cause you know, if you have a crappy apple or a peach, you're stuck with that crappy piece of fruit.  But if you have a crappy grape, no problem.  Just move onto the next.  'Grapes: the fruit of hope.'"

Good Girl Moonshine (GGMS)

Image
GGMS or Good Girl Moonshine.  A drink made of apple cider vinegar, water and sweetener.  Pearl and Serene of Trim Healthy Mama coined the phrase Good Girl Moonshine  as an all day sipper and made it popular, but drinks with apple cider vinegar and ginger date back to at least the Laura Ingalls Wilder days. In those days Laura called it Ginger Water.   In the first chapter of  "The Long Winter", Laura talks about Ma sending them ginger water to drink.  A little Prairie Moonshine if you will! If you are adventurous, you can try the "ginger water" recipe below that was in one one of my kids workbooks back in the day. I love my moonshine but I think that the 2 cups of vinegar called for in that recipe might be a little strong. You could also try one of the recipes  here or here  or here .  I have never tried a version with  brown sugar but it is on my to-do list. Let's talk about the vessel for GGMS. Glass quart canning jars are the preferred vehicle for ho

Morning Chocolate Craving

Image
So metimes I just feel like having chocolate.  There is no rhyme or reason, chocolate just sounds good.  Unfortunately, I can't blame my love of chocolate on my mother like I did  all things grape.   Well, I can but not for depriving me of chocolate...more for giving me chocolate!  My favorite chocolate thing ever is Chocolate Flavored Pudding Cake.  My mom would make one of those and she and I would finish it off in a night and a day.  My dad's favorite flavor was lemon flavored pudding cake.  I didn't learn to appreciate that flavor until later in life.  However, I still have my love of chocolate.  I have tried several "low carb" chocolate foods.  Sadly, most are pretty terrible in my opinion.  Just being real.  But, there are some that I can pallet and a very few that I really like.  Breakfast this morning were my two favorite low carb chocolate favorites.  First off is Briana's Superfood Brownie Single.  It is made with okra of all things.  But it so goo

I Am 50

Image
OK, ok, in 3 years I'll be 50.  But that's like half a century.  Half. A. Century.   Seriously, when did I get this old?  In my head I am still in high school rocking out to Whitesnake, Meatloaf and Bon Jovi, singing to Billy Joel and Dan Fogelberg songs, dreaming that one day I will meet Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton and knowing someday I will be a roady for Van Halen.  In real life I am a wife of 22 years, a mother of three grown children, I own a house, have two jobs and, in case anyone is interested, I am not nor have I ever been, a roady for Van Halen.   I am not going to dwell on this but we have had a rough few years.  At the end of 2015 we said 2016 would be a great year.  Nope.  That was a misnomer.  At the end of 2016 we said 2017 would be a great year.  NOPE!  January 11 of 2017 rocked our world and to say the least, it has not been a great year.  I can only hope 2018 will be better. However, the information I have at present is leading me to believe it wont be.  Bu
