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.'"

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!  I hope each of you had an absolutely terrific and blessed day.  I did!  It wasn't exactly what I had planned but then when do all my plans really work out?? For Christmas Eve we had our traditional meal of meatloaf, red cabbage, mashed potatoes, sourdough bread and butter.  We had chocolate chip cookies and eggnog for dessert.  This year we added in sparkling grape juice because my daughter won it in a white elephant game the night before.  It was a perfect meal that we all enjoyed!   Christmas Morning started off slow with 3 of the household members sleeping in.  I started my day with R2D2 Coffee in my new A Christmas Story mug.  That mug held almost all of the glorious coffee that this french press made. My middling and I worked in the kitchen and got some of the appetizers for the day knocked out.  About 10 the rest of the house woke up and we got to business.  We made our annual Christmas Tre...

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 ja...

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas Eve is one of tradition.  It hardly varies year to year.  Even as the kids get older (re: adults), they look forward to Christmas Eve and our traditions. Christmas Movies--One of our Christmas Eve traditions is to watch Christmas movies.  This year I have a line up that just can't be beat.  Even though we are all 20 years of age or older, these still hit the spot!  There are some off beat movies this year but that is what makes it new each year. Berenstain Bears Christmas Tree Arthurs Perfect Christmas   Rudolph   Family Circus Christmas   Snoopy   Davey and Goliath   Polar Express   and of course... A Christmas Story  -- which happen to be on TBS for 24 hours straight starting at 7pm on Christmas Eve-just sayin' Supper--Christmas Eve supper is the same as it has been for many years.  It will hopefully be this way for the rest of my life.  It is tradition after all!  Recipes will be ...
