White Grape Juice Peach Sangria
Yesterday I posted a recipe for a wine based sangria that I made over the weekend with rose wine and white peaches. My twins kept eyeing it in the refrigerator asking if they could try some “It looks so good Mom, can we try it?” Of course our answer was a big fat “NO!” It had an entire bottle of wine plus port, and definitely not for kids. But I did feel bad that I made such an enticing drink that the twins couldn’t have, and made a non-alcoholic version just for them! Am I good Mom or what?

Time spent with the family on an uneventful weekend for example. Or time spent with a friend over quiet conversation on a weekday. Moments such as these become extra special when accompanied by a warm cup of tea. So come along inside for a warm cup of tea. Continue reading Come Along Inside For A Warm Cup of Tea
Mint, Cardamom Ginger Tea & A Visit from my In-laws
Happy Tuesday!
Hope you had a good weekend and are looking forward to a fabulous week ahead. Today I would like to share another tea recipe that I recently learnt how to make from my brotherâs in-laws who visited us from Dallas, Texas last week. Darshana and Yogesh came on a fall-California road trip and headed up from LA to Northern California to visit with a friend of theirs and us. It was a quick 2-day visit during which time I took them around our beautiful hilly terrain and of course showed off my garden đ. Continue reading Mint, Cardamom Ginger Tea & A Visit from my In-laws
