Ahhhhhh……back
into a routine again. The second week of
school has whizzed by and the pan of back-to-school cookie bars I made so my
kids could have some warm just-out-of-the-oven-homemade-we-have-the-most-awesome-mom-cookies….are
long gone.
Now that I
have a little more free time, I am able to spend all of my husband’s hard
earned money….erm…..volunteer at our local Thrift Shop a lot more.
(Total score!!! Who in their right mind would donate Polish
Pottery! Whoever you are, thank you for
supporting the scholarship program!)
Then, I got
my new Erin Condren planner yesterday in the mail. It was one of the happiest days of my
life. Now I am SURE I will become the
organized person I have always wanted to be. (Insert husband’s eye roll here.)
But most of
all, the best thing I like about school starting again, is that I have a lot of
extra time to cook and bake. I try and
make something new almost every night. Sometimes
it’s a main dish, sometimes it’s a side.
Tonight I am getting all sorts of crazy and making a drink! (Don’t tell anyone but I actually already
tried this out yesterday and they are insanely delicious!)
Back To School Cherry
Cokes
Printable Recipe (HERE)
Ingredients:
-24 oz of
coca-cola (real cola…not diet)
-4
Tablespoons grenadine syrup
-Maraschino
Cherries for garnish
-Ice
Optional :
Spiced rum for the big kids
First off,
put something on the grill. These drinks
definitely have a summer grilling picnicky feel to them. I’m making Bacon Wrapped Pineapple ChickenSkewers. Next, pour cola into a big pitcher.
Add grenadine. Stir. Serve over lots of ice and garnish with
Maraschino cherries.
That’s
it! A perfect ending to a busy,
productive, and don’t forget organized,
school week! Enjoy!
