Monday Mingle1. What is one food or drink you cannot live without?

Well a few years ago I would have said Mountain Dew! But since I’ve been pregnant and breastfeeding for what seems like forever, I’d have to say Juicy Juice!!

2. Are you a foodie? Do you like to cook or are you a food blogger?

Honestly, I’m not much of a cook. If you tell me exactly what to do I can make it but cooking is not a passion for me. My husband on the other hand loves to cook and does most of the cooking in our home!

3. What is your one easy family friendly recipe, or amazing supersecret recipe that you are known for?

With my husband’s recipe, I can make a mean lasagna and a terrific broccoli casserole. My husband makes a fantastic fettuccine alfredo and a marvelous sesame chicken!  Also, my sister makes yummy apple dumplings and if your looking for a delicious punch recipe, this is THE ONE! I promise, you’ll love it!

I got this recipe from my sister and she got it from allrecipes.com. I had to share it with you!! This is the BEST punch you will ever drink! 🙂 I think so anyways!
