Refreshing mango punch

Refreshing mango punch

Today, I am making a pitcher of homemade mango punch. The drink is thick, sweet, and deliciously yummy. It can be served in a glass, with or without ice. The punch is truly refreshing. 

Note:

I use grapefruit juice as one of the ingredients. If you can't have grapefruit due to your medications, please leave it out of your punch. Add another tropical juice as a substitute.


Ingredients:

  • 4-6 mango's, peeled, pitted, and chopped

  • 1 cup of pineapple juice, store-bought, or fresh juiced

  • 1 grapefruit, juiced

  • 1 orange, juiced

  • ½ cup of sweetener, or sugar (I used Splenda)

  • 1 cup of cold water (optional)

Instructions:


First, prepare the fruit by washing it well. Peel and pit the mangos. Then chop the mango's flesh up into small pieces.


In a blender, add the mango's, pineapple juice, and the juice from a grapefruit and an orange. Blend until the mangoes are liquefied. 


The juice can be strained if you prefer, or the pulp can be left in the juice for added nourishment.



Then add the sweetener, water; combine well. (Water is optional. I prefer adding it just to thin the juice down.)


Next, pour the mango juice into a pitcher and refrigerate it until it's cold. Then serve and enjoy!

Note:

If you don't have a blender, use a potato masher, or a fork to mash the mangos to bits. Then add the other ingredients, and stir well. 


The punch can also be served on ice.


During the summer months and on special occasions, I like to make this recipe in a large punch bowl and add diet ginger-ale with scoops of rainbow sherbet to the punch. The juice is also really good, served over a scoop of vanilla ice cream in a bowl.

I tried Martha Stewart's slow-cooker triple chocolate brownies recipe- this is how they turned out

I tried Martha Stewart's slow-cooker triple chocolate brownies recipe- this is how they turned out There's one lady on this earth (besides mom) that I have always simply adored; Martha Stewart. Anyone who knows me knows that Martha has been my lifelong hero since I was a teenager. She's witty, beautiful, and exceptionally talented in so many various ways. Such as DIY home and land renovations to whipping up any tantalizing masterpiece in her kitchen.  Even though I have a multitude of recipes, I had never made  slow-cooker triple chocolate brownies  before. That's until I came across Martha Stewart's recipe for this delightfully delicious, gooey chocolate treat. I followed Martha's techniques and her recipe to the tee, and ooh-la-lah! Her slow-cooker triple chocolate brownies are sinfully exquisite. They are a chocolate lover's dream come true. Martha's slow-cooker brownie recipe takes 3-1/2 hours to bake. While some people may think that is too long to ...

American pokeweed

American pokeweed  American pokeweed is a perennial, and it's commonly known as a survivalist plant. The plant is often referred to as poke salad, poke sallet, pokeweed, poke, among a few others. During the first days of spring, purplish shoots of pokeweed emerge from the soil. The plant will often pop up as a volunteer, and depending on the location, pokeweed can grow anywhere from 6 feet to 20 feet tall. The stalks and stems of pokeweed are an attractive purplish plum color. The leaves are a beautiful green color, and they can grow as big as 14 inches long by 7 to 8 inches wide. The plant's leaves will be tapered at each end. By summer, pokeweed begins producing long clusters of green and white flowers. The flowers turn into green berries that then transition from a light pink to a dark plum color. Pokeweed grows flowers and berries often at the same time and will continue to grow until the first frost. I have never pulled a pokeweed plant up from its roots, but I...

Vegetables that contain protein

Vegetables that contain protein If food prices have you scrambling down the aisles of the grocery store trying to find something that's more affordable than meat but still has protein, know that you're not alone! Back in the days when my grandparents went through the Great Depression, it was really tough times, but they survived through the hardships by growing their own food. There are a lot of veggies that actually do contain protein, and they're packed full of additional nutrients that our bodies all need. Vegetables highest in protein: Vegetables high in protein include artichokes, asparagus, beans, bean sprouts, and beans in general: broccoli, Brussel sprouts, chickpeas, green peas, kale, mushrooms, mustard greens, spinach, sweet corn, and turnip greens. For a few examples: Black beans contain 15 grams of protein in just a 1-cup serving. In fact, a 1/2 cup of cooked beans provides close to 7 grams of protein, which is the same as eating one ounce of meat. As for collar...
