My second blog this week is about a very refreshing drink recipe that is light and easy to make. It has a healthy anti oxidant twist with a hint of Compliments Lime and fizz from carbonated lime mineral water along with Compliments Acai sour cherry four juice blend.

Summer is here and it is hot on the East Coast! We had amazing weather all of last week, clear blue skies and hot sunny weather hovering around 30°C in the heat of the day. During the week, the kids and I have been spending our mornings on the beach while the temperature is still bearable, heading up to the house for lunch and a little quiet time, and then heading back to the beach for the afternoon when the sun isn’t as strong.

Is this what we wait for all winter long? I think it’s what helps me through those cold days and nights. I just closing my eyes and picturing snow induced mirages of sitting on a patio and eating recipes from my BBQ (or someone else’s BBQ ☺) and sipping virgin or laced drinks!

I can’t say it enough and you are probably thinking, “I know, I know you have said it before” but WOW the weather is fantastic and we are all having a super time enjoying the out doors so far this year and it has been truly amazing!

I was in Sobeys yesterday picking up a few ingredients for a day at the beach when I was distracted by some real beauties! Local strawberries have made their way into the Sobeys stores in my area and I couldn’t be happier! The local strawberry season is something that everyone waits for with anticipation, and when it is here, you need to act fast. The season is only a couple of weeks long, and everyone in town is out to get their hands on some!
