Citrus Water {Punch}

This simple citrus drink is the perfect solution for pretty much any event.  Not overly sweet, but definitely stepping up a notch from your average water with lemon.  I view this as a somewhat mellow lemonade; perfect for kids and adults.

Citrus Water

Recipe from Mel's Kitchen Cafe

2 Tbsp. citric acid

5 quarts water

2 c. sugar

2 Tbsp. pure lemon extract

3 sliced lemons

3 sliced limes

crushed ice

In a large punch bowl, stir water, sugar, citric acid and lemon extract together.

Add sliced citrus and ice.

**Leaving the lemon and lime slices in the punch will make an overly sour, acidic taste.  If you have leftovers, remove them from the punch before storing.

Breakfast Stuffed Peppers

Breakfast for dinner is one of my favorites, and these colorful stuffed peppers are no exception.

I modified this recipe; adding potatoes, onions and cheese, and subbing swiss chard for spinach.  Feel free to switch around ingredients to suit your tastes.
