As we continue on our month-long celebration of state fair foods and beverages, today we are enjoying some blackberry lemonade. There's is nothing like going to the Minnesota State Fair and enjoying some fresh lemonade. It's one of our favorite things to do. Today, we are taking a little twist on the traditional lemonade and adding in some fresh blackberries. The blackberry lemonade tastes best if it sits overnight so the flavors can all meld together. And it's best-served ice cold over a ...

State Fair Lemonade
What is the one beverage that every state fair has across the country? Actually every fair usually has this. Lemonade! Fresh squeezed lemonade. Peyton always has to have at least one big giant sipper of Minnesota State Fair Lemonade when we go. It's one of the first things she'll hunt down as soon as we get through the gate. And since there is no Minnesota State Fair this year I decided to make her a whole pitcher of State Fair Lemonade! I knew making fresh-squeezed lemonade would be easy ...

Starting the Day with Sugar Babies Cocoa
Wow, the weather sure did cool off quickly! When we head out the door for school the temperatures have been in the 40s. They are even talking snow next week! It's just too early for this cold weather. We should be in the 60s and 70s, not 40s and 50s. So now I'm looking for a warm drink to send Peyton off to school with. This month, we were sent Sugar Babies Cocoa. Now, I must confess I like to put Sugar Babies in my freshly popped popcorn and munch on it while I watch movies. I can only imagine ...
Blended Tootsie Roll Cocoa
We've been back in school for a few weeks now and I'm starting to finally get our morning routine down. Every morning when I make my coffee, I make Peyton a beverage too. It can be anything from a hot cider or cocoa to a smoothie. Well, this morning she wanted hot cocoa but she didn't want it hot. So I decided to make it blended cocoa! Plus I have this new cocoa we are trying out, Tootsie Roll Cocoa K-cups. Doesn't that just sound fun? I love Tootsie Rolls and we frequently have them around the ...
Blended Mint Chocolate Chip Coffee
I love mint chocolate anything so when I found out that Friendly's made a Mint Chocolate Chip coffee I knew I had to try it! This month, we were sent a 40 count pack of Friendly's Mint Chocolate Chip k-cups to try out. And we did try it out! Usually, I would just brew my coffee and add a little creamer and sugar, but it's been really muggy lately. I don't like to drink hot beverages when I'm hot, it's not enjoyable for me. So I decided to turn this Mint Chocolate Chip Coffee into an nice iced ...
