Berries and More Berries for #SundaySupper
One of the best parts of Summer to me is the fresh fruits and vegetables. Madison and I had so much fun hitting the Farm stands every week, she would help me put everything into the bags (sometimes a little too much) and of course their is blueberry and strawberry picking each year too! Nothing like being outdoors in the beautiful weather picking something you can go home and bake or cook with! This weeks theme is all about the Berries!! This group has got some creative dishes, condiments and drinks for you all!! I swore last week was going to be the last week I took part in #SundaySupper for awhile so I can spend some time getting ready for my son, however it’s Berries people!!! This event is being hosted by one of the lovely ladies that I’ve looked up to since I began blogging. I also Featured her last Summer too!!! Nicole over at Daily Dishes you are a true inspiration to the blogging world, thank you for hosting another fabulous event for us! Now let’s talk Berries!
I chose a Berry Berry Smoothie for a few reasons, one it’s easy, I’m not going to lie I took the easy route out to be a part of this awesome theme, however I didn’t skimp. Before I got pregnant last fall I was on a health kick and started back at the gym and eating healthy again, yes I’ve done this 3 times in my life and two out of three I’ve gotten pregnant shortly their after…hmmmm……Well I was addicted to these protein shakes. I was destined to find a shake that was yummy, healthy and filling. So when the Berry theme came up and I realized it was going to be 90 degrees out I decided to make it fun for my daughter and have a fun “shake” while playing outside!! It was so hot we needed the break and came inside to enjoy them! You can feel free to leave out the protein powder if you’d like, I like it after a workout, but I decided it wouldn’t hurt us this time either!!
I can’t believe my daughter loved it!! I sucked mine down in a matter of 5 minutes, we picked the perfect day to have these shakes. I used the magic bullet to make mine, it’s a mini blender that really grinds things, I used this to make my own homemade baby food when my daughter was young so I knew this would make awesome smoothies! It also comes with the individual serving cups and a mini one which was perfect for her! Look at that face!
You can change them up by adding the fruits you enjoy, or ice even, I’m not a big on ice in my shakes, I’d rather it be thick with milk or ice cream vs. chunky with ice. I kept it healthy by using Frozen Yogurt, Reduced fat milk, and Greek yogurt! Change it up by using different flavors of ice cream or yogurt if you’d like!
Ingredients
- 1 banana, chopped
- 2-3 tbsp. of non-fat strawberry Greek yogurt
- 2-3 tbsp of strawberry frozen yogurt
- 1/4 cup of fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup of reduced fat milk
- 1/2 scoop of vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- Add the contents to a blender (or magic bullet) blend until you get to the consistency that you desire.
- Add more fruit or milk if needed.
- Serve with a toothpick of your favorite fruits.

I decided to make a drink, as I was searching for what to make, I drooled over the holiday alcoholic ones, I then thought maybe I’m better off making an appetizer because I can’t have alcohol this holiday season because of my little bambino, but there is always next year! Then I came across this awesome recipe for Raspberry Hot Cocoa, I knew this would be something my husband and I would enjoy some cold wintry night!

Our normal 7PM tweet chat has been canceled for this evening. I’d like to use this moment to say a special prayer for the victims of such a horrific tragedy that took place in CT on Friday, December 14th. A special thank you to the hero’s who risked their lives for those innocent children. I bow my head for those missing at their own Sunday Supper Dinner Table
We’d also love to feature your recipe for holiday parties on our #SundaySupper Pinterest board to share them with all of our followers, too.
Watermelon Martini
Of course this Momma is going to be leaving you with one more Summer (or as I say Summa) time drink”e”poo!!! I made these one night for my girlfriend and I……let’s just say we only had one 
What you’ll need:
1/4th of a watermelon (I bough a half of a half)
4 oz of Citrus Vokda (any kind would really work)
2 tbsp of simple suger
Juice of one lime.
What to do:
I ran the watermelon through my small food processor then I added all of the ingredients into a shaker with ice, stirred and poured! That’s about it! Garnish with a small piece of watermelon if you choose!
End of Summer Sangria
I got this recipe from a friend of mine. We were going to their house for a little cookout one week night and she asked if I wanted to try a Sangria that was currently being served in the restaurant she works at. Heck, who am I to say no!! Wine, Juice, Ice on a hot night, Uhm Ya!! As Madison says “Peeeease!” So she did her
Now let me explain how this is made, my friend was a bartender so she knows how to make a drink. When a recipe calls for a “count” it means you pour according to the number. For example if it calls for a “Two Count” it means you pour and count to two then stop. Easy enough right. Ok then without further delay, here it is!
Ingredients:
4 count of Sutter Home Sweet Red Wine (Or any kind of Sweet Red Wine)
2 count of Peachtree liquor
1 count of Triple Sec
2 count of Pineapple Juice
1 count of Cranberry Juice
1 count of Orange Juice
1 count of Sprite
What to do:
Mix it all up, shake and pour!! Easy as that, you won’t be disappointed even when if you do more of one thing and less of another, OMG she served these in large Mason Jar. It went down like juice! Most of it is the red wine so don’t drink too fast friends!!
Enjoy the rest of the summer!! You will if you try this!!
Strawberry Beer Cocktail
I know what your thinking……..Weird…….how can you combine liquor and beer?? Well guess what you can! And I did! And I loved it! This recipe is adapted from A Taste of Home, I changed it a bit because I couldn’t find the fruit or the juice they recommended.
What you need:
4 cans of light beer
1 cup of vodka
1 can of frozen pink lemonade (I think regular lemonade would be great too)
Handful of strawberries
1 lemon
What to do:
You really can use any light beer, I used Bud Light because, well it’s my hubby’s beer, I think it’s best to be drank all in one night, often a Sangria is better the next day, but the carbonation of the beer really offsets the sourness of the juice so I found it VERY refreshing the night I made it!!
Combine all ingredients. Serve with fresh fruit!
Hypnotic Raspberry Lemonade
YES their is alcohol in here folks……….the best alcohol you will ever have! Adapted from T-Bones.
Ahhhh yes my healthified version of the Rasberry Lemonade drink that I sucked down in literally 5 min. oops did I say that?? Whoopsy!! Hey I said I was kiddo free would you expect anything less!
I lightened it up, unfortunatley it’s not as good when you do that but the restaurants recipe is as follows:
Hypnotiq Raspberry Lemonade- A mix of Hypnotiq, Raspberry Smirnoff and lemonade…..don’t forget the rocks!
My version is pretty simple:
Hypnotiq Rasberry Lemonade – A mix of Hypnotiq, Raspberry Smirnoff and Zero Vitamin Lemonade Water…..on the rocks!
Momma’s Sangria
I wanted to make a Sangria one night while we were on vacation but didn’t really want to follow a recipe, I wanted to go with what I had in my mind and just play with it until I got the taste I liked, I’m so glad I did because it was SOOO good. I happened to visit the vineyard where my husband and I got married 3 years ago, they have a lot of flavored wine their. I’m not sure if other wines come in flavors like these but the next time I made this I’m simply going to use a bottle of white Zin with some pineapple juice and a bottle of chardonnay with a little cranberry juice, use your judgement, taste it………make it yours!
What you need:
1 Orange, sliced
1 Green apple, sliced
1 Lime, sliced
1 750 ml bottle of pineapple wine (if you can’t find this flavor try a white zin with some pineapple juice)
1 750 ml bottle of cranberry wine (if you can’t find this flavor try a chardonnay with some cranberry juice)
1 liter of Diet Rasberry Soda Water
1 liter of Sprite zero
What to do:
Poor the wine, soda water, sprite (and juice if adding) into a pitcher. Drop in sliced fruit (I added some ice) and sipped on it and add sprite, soda water or other to get it to the taste you like. I refrigerated it for 6 hours
Awesome refreshing drink on a hot summer night.
I also drank some two days later too
