Summer Sippers...

Summer brings sun, fun, relaxation &...

most of the time, a good cocktail!  

I heart to have a nice glass of Sangria in the summer.

Here are 4 of my favorite summer sipper recipes!

I hope you Enjoy!

What you need:

• 4 oranges, 2 juiced, 2 halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
• 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup brandy
• 1 bottle dry red wine, chilled
• 2 lemons, thinly sliced
• 2 cups seltzer or club soda
• Ice cubes, for serving

How to make it:

1. In a large pitcher, combine orange juice, sugar, and brandy; stir well to dissolve sugar. Add wine, orange slices, lemon slices, and seltzer; stir to combine. Fill glasses with ice before serving.

Great way to start the morning:

This cereal has become my breakfast of choice since I have started running again.  

A small bowl with soy milk gets me through right to lunch!

I heart the berries in it!  

You should try it.

I get mine at Walmart.

Upcycling

Upcycling is my new favorite term...

How amazing to take an object that has already been created (for one purpose) and re-think it

 to create something new using the initial concept 

in a completely different way!

I heart  

THE NEW YORK TIMES - ARTS Section.

This article about The Museum of Arts and Design 

caught my eye

reminding me how much I heart the concept of 

Creation = Art.

It is:

USING OLD MATERIALS TO PUT A NEW FACE ON A MUSEUM

"Together the works broadcast loud and clear the museum’s ambition to upgrade its profile and segue from its previous concentration on craft to a hipper, more wide-ranging program"
