Valentine Day Fruit Punch Drink

Anyone out there who doesn't like Valentine's Day? I really love Valentines day with all the pink and red colors!  

I started a little tradition in our home which I call the 14 days of Valentines....I give you something from a treat to a note for each day. My kids LOVE it!

I had thought about not doing it this year but when the 13 year old asks...

Wilma {13 year old}: "Are you going to do the 14 days of Valentines?"
Me: {shrugged shoulders} "I don't know, aren't you too old?"
Wilma: {disapointed look} "OH NO! I love it!! It is a tradition!!"

Guess who will be doing the 14 days of Valentines? YEP! My dad always say's "Don't mess with tradition!" Then tradition it is my sweet Wilma girl!!!

I thought this would be a great drink to have with your Valentine dinner...y'all  know it's going to be so darn busy out there that you might as well fix a yummy dinner/drink to have with ALL your loved ones!!!

1 Pkg. Cherry Kool-aid
1 Pkg. Strawberry Kool-aid
2 Cup Sugar
1 Qt. Ginger ale
3 Qt. Water
1 {6 oz} can Orange juice {frozen}
1 {6 oz} can Lemonade {frozen}

Mix Kool-aid, sugar & water, add orange & lemonade. Mix until thawed. Add ginger ale before serving.

{don't remember where I got this recipe}

I'm on Strike!!!

As you may have seen, no recipes have been going out. This week the hubcap aka {JT} has been out of town and I've just been in survival mode. So let's break it down with the dinners that have been eaten by the children:

{Monday} Hubcap took me to dinner before he left town. Loved the mini date nigth and yummy Chili's soup/salad. Kids had tortellini...which neither of them really ate. :0(

{Tuesday} Oldest child wanted buttered noodles with cooked chicken. Hey!! atleast they got some protein in their diet. Youngest child only wanted chicken!!

{Wednesday} I decided to choose and they got Ramen noodles. Youngest child also got mini marshmellows and I finally ate a Lean Cuisine.

Hoping to find some energy, or something to fix my family a good healthy dinner for the next couple of days.  Now it's your turn to tell me what you've been fixin for your hubcap and family. :0)
