So does anyone else have a board of "homemade Starbucks/Caribou/insert major chain here" on Pinterest? I know I do. It's actually called my "No More Soda Project" when I thought I was going to give up pop but let's be honest, that didn't last long.
So I finally made one of the recipes. You can find the link I used for the idea here. Iced Passion Tea Lemonade.
What I did was make some sun tea. Put four bags of your favorite tea in a container (this one was a Target clearance find) and put it out in the sun all day. Definitely one of my favorite things about summer. I used Passion tea which I would not recommend unless you are mixing it with something-- way too "flowery" tasting for me.
Then I put some in a glass with about 2/3 tea to 1/3 lemonade. I usually end up going through 2 containers of lemonade to the one container of tea. I wish I could have found the Minute Maid Light 15 calories tea but the local grocery store and Target did not have it... would have made it a lot less calories. I put some sugar in there too just to make it extra sweet. A delicious summery treat for half the price of Starbucks!
Another new recipe we tried was Chicken Parmesan Casserole. A very easy recipe to make and good flavor-- we threw in pepperonis for a little extra flavor. We did have to cut up and cook chicken breasts because I couldn't find any pre-cooked cubes at Target or it would have been even easier to make.
I love when my Pinterest ideas turn out good-- we have definitely had some fails in the past :)
