Herbal Iced Tea
I picked up the Barefoot Contessa cookbook from the library a week or two ago. There were several recipes that looked good, but this one was chosen to try first. I am not a big tea drinker -- at all! But Jeremiah likes tea and I do like to find beverages that I could have in my arsenal for guests as well. We gave this one a try and for me, it was just ok. But if you like tea, you may really enjoy this one. I will probably make it from time to time when we have guests come over who I know will enjoy it too. But I probably won't make it just for myself.
Herbal Iced Tea
from the Barefoot Contessa
4 Celestial Seasonings Red Zinger tea bags
4 Celestial Seasonings Lemon Zinger tea bags
4 cups pure apple juice (*She uses Martinelli's pure apple juice; I used the store brand :o) )
Steep the 8 tea bags in 4 cups of boiling water for about 10 minutes. Discard the tea bags. Combine the tea with the apple juice and refrigerate until cold. Serve over ice. Serves 6-8.
P.S. It is also caffeine free!
To life... full of fun, summery drinks!

April Wrap-Up
My verse: "The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps." Proverbs 16:9
Miles: 92.9! My highest average so far - 3.06 miles per day! Good weather really makes a difference!
This month I'm reflecting on change. I am so resistant to it. It scares me. It worries me. It stresses me out. This picture is a good visual representation for me:
Yet, life is full of change. I read a good post on "A Holy Experience" about change. One of the quotes she listed was from Dr. Seuss, "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." I tend to forget to be thankful for what I did get to experience and complain that it's ending; rather than be glad that it happened and excited for what's next. It is hard to change a mind (and heart!) that is set in its ways, but I believe it can be done. And I am praying that as we move forward to the next step in our life - moving to Colorado - that I will embrace the new adventure God is taking our family on.
To life... full of donkey-like stubbornness.
