Hey mommas! Happy Friday to you girls! Hope you all are having a great summer so far! It's been a super busy one for me! We have been out of town for basically all of summer so far, and now that we are finally back home it feels so good! I am so excited to get some time with my kiddos at the pool and just catching up on lost time during the school year.
This week, the kids and I headed to our local farmer's market to stock up on all sorts of yummy fruits and veggies. We had the greatest time talking to all the farmers. :) Also, my kids tend to eat better when they get a say on what I buy. One of the things they insisted that we load up on was all of the yummy fresh peaches. Oh my goodness, I am sooooo glad we did. I love fresh peaches in the summertime. Is there anything better? So with our large bushel of delicious peaches, I have been trying to make myself utilize them in some recipes instead of just devouring them whole...although truth be told, I love to do that too. Peaches are wonderful in so many desserts, but did you know they are also fabulous in cocktails? It's true. The sweetness with just a bit of tart makes for a perfect summer drink. So first up on peach cocktail making is of course....the mojito. Peach Mojitos are juicy and refreshing. I highly recommend trying one this weekend girls and enjoy the fruits of summer! Cheers and see you next week!
