Our new favorite summer drink

I have a confession to make---I love cookbooks.  Totally love them.  I collect them.  It must be a girl thing--some girls have tons of shoes, some have tons of clothes,  I have tons of cookbooks, and I am okay with that.  I got this new cookbook about a month ago, and we love it!

This is Our Best Bites:  Mormon Moms in the Kitchen by Sara Wells and Kate Jones.  And did you notice what my 9 year old did to it?  Did you notice all the little torn yellow post-it notes sticking out?  I think my daughter is taking after me.  I think she marked every other recipe.  She was just as excited as I was when it came in the mail.  Train up a child when they are young. . .

Anyway, we have tried several recipes from it in the last month, but one recipe has definitely stood out--their Brazilian Lemonade  It is amazing!  Check out the link and be prepared to LOVE it!  It is our new favorite summer drink.

Anyone else out there have a cookbook problem like me? :)

Things I love

I love lots of things, but these are things I especially love this week. . .

Dairy Queen! We love DQ and especially this week since their blizzards are on sale buy one get one for $.25!!! We have gone several times this week :) Yum! Cookie dough is my favorite.
I love playing in the yard on a late spring evening and my Ben teaching the kids how to swing a bat and play ball!

I love, and am probably addicted to, Bath and Body works lotion. Is there such thing as LLA (lotion lovers anonymous)? I could probably found it if there isn't. But I love the stuff! Especially their new summer vanillas. Oh. my. Have you smelled them?

I also love this cookbook. Ben got it for me for my birthday. Have you heard of Pioneer Woman? She is great! Her cookbook is awesome! I have made lots of the recipes, and they are all good! Check her out at Pioneer Woman

What are you loving this week????
