Lavender Lemonade

So, I've been having some terrible spring fever. (hence the new layout) One of my favorite spring & summer time drinks is Lavender Lemonade. It's a delicious combo. Very light and refreshing. I recommend EVERYONE to try it! Yes, even you! :)

                                                                                                                          Lavender Lemonade

4 fresh lavender buds
1 c. boiling water
6 c. lemonade
  • Place lavender buds in a 2-cup measuring glass.
  • Add one cup boiling water to measuring glass.
  • Cover; let steep for 5 mins. (or longer if you want a stronger lavender smell/flavor.)
  • Discard lavender buds.
  • Combine lavender water with lemonade in a pitcher.
  • Cover and chill for several hours.
  • Garnish with a lemon slice, a spring of mint, or a fresh sprig of Lavender.
Served best REALLY cold.

BBQ chicken wraps...
A delicious knock off of Red Robins Whisky River BBQ chicken wrap.



INGREDIENTS:- Garden spinach herb tortillas
- Ranch
- shredded cheese
- Favorite BBQ sauce
- Chicken
- Shredded lettuce
- Tortilla Chips (If you want an extra crunch)

Cook chicken with no seasonings. Then cool chicken while prepping the wraps.
On one tortilla spread ranch enough to cover entire thing. Then sprinkle cheese over ranch. Mix your chicken in BBQ sauce until evenly coated. Spread down the middle of the tortilla. Top with lettuce and wrap up and cut in the middle.
Serve with fries or a salad
Enjoy!

Viva Las Vegas!

Hey there!
Long time no see. How have you been? Good? Oh that's wonderful! I hope your holidays were great! Like I said before, I was going to Vegas shortly before Christmas and let me tell you it was FANTASTIC! I loved it.
Here is a few pictures with a little story/facts with it. Enjoy :)

Welcome! This sign is the most famous sign in Vegas. Promise.

Vegas is beautiful at night. I loved it.


This is the Bellagio Fountains. It's capable of firing water 460 feet into the air. The lake and the fountains in it, including more than 1,200 water jets, were built at a cost of more than $40 million. That's just crazy.

The view from this at night is breath taking :)

Mini NY :)


Italy anyone? Okay... Maybe just Vegas.

So, those are just a few of some of my favorite memories in Vegas!
My goal this year is to blog at least once a week! Lets see if I can do it..
Until next time..
Ciao!
