This WITCHES BREW KID-FRIENDLY HALLOWEEN  PUNCH is so yummy and fun. Kids and adults alike will love it.

My daughter is having a Halloween costume party for adults. Leaving gramma with all of the kids. Decided I would have a little party for the kids.  We will serve punch and snacks and have the kids wear their costumes. Will probably play some games if I can keep them away from video games and youtube long enough to, make that happen.

There are few things as fun as picking out costumes and getting the grandkids ready for Halloween.

Soon as we’re done with Halloween we are on to Thanksgiving and Christmas and the end of the year. Where does time go? Seems like every year flies by quicker. My grandkids are growing so fast just as my own kids did.

If you are having a Halloween Party for your little ones, this punch is so fun and easy to make. I first went to the dollar tree and got a big Halloween bowl, some gummy monsters, and worms some candy eyes, a ladle and some creepy plastic bugs and spiders. (make sure they are non-toxic) . You will also need Hawaiian Punch Green Berry Rush, sprite or other lemon-lime soda, rainbow or lime sherbet and green food coloring.

How to make WITCHES BREW KID-FRIENDLY HALLOWEEN PUNCH: In the Halloween Bowl or punch bowl -dump Hawaiin Punch, soda, sherbet add food coloring and drop the plastic toys in so they float and add eyes to the scoops of sherbet. 

If you need other treats for your party, let me suggest  Frankenstein Rice Krispy Treats! and CANDY CORN POKE CAKE! or go to https://thekeeledeal.com/the-best-halloween-recipes and find a great round-up of  Halloween treats.

Who needs Star Bucks when you can make your own Pumpkin Spice Latte at home. Easy to throw together at home in just a few minutes.

PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE

With it being 90 outside all week, it’s hard to get in fall mode. However, as promised I have a lot of pumpkin and apple recipes to share. If you didn’t check out Pumpkin Spice No-Churn Ice Cream, Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Cookies  PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE MUFFINS  or  Cinnamon Apple Turnovers please try them they are fantastic.

I’m not a huge coffee drinker, I drink it occasionally, mostly if I’m visiting my mother. All of my family gathers at my mother’s kitchen table and drinks coffee any chance they get.  It is kind of a family tradition. When fall comes around and all the pumpkin creamers come out and Star Bucks releases their Pumpkin Spice Latte, I usually start drinking a lot more coffee because I love the pumpkin spice. I don’t, however, like making a trip to Star Bucks to get it or paying 4 or 5 bucks for a beverage.

Making your own homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte at home is so simple. You most likely already have most of the ingredients in your cabinet. Just be sure to stock up on Pumpkin during the holiday season when you find it on sale. There are so many great recipes to make over the holidays that call for pumpkin puree. Do you know how many Pumpkin Spice Lattes I can make for the price of one Starbucks Latte!? I don’t know, but f you have the answer, please let me know. In addition to saving money and time running to Star Bucks, you will also have control over what goes into your latte. The pumpkin spice craze takes over between August and November and by now every recipe has a pumpkin spice version. Whether you want it or not.

All you need to make Pumpkin Spice Latte at home is milk, pumpkin puree (not pie filling), maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract (pure is best but go with what you have) espresso or coffee and whipped cream for garnish.

So follow these easy directions to make your own latte at home. Stop back and comment let us know how it came out and if you made any changes.

Summertime Brazilian Lemonade 

Summertime Brazilian Lemonade is a Creamy Refreshing summertime drink.

So don’t know who suggested fall was just around the corner? Clearly, summer is still in full swing.

After being shamed on my post for Easy Country Chicken Noodle Soup for saying fall was just around the corner. It was brought to my attention that we still had hot summer days in our near future.

So after deciding, they were right and I better enjoy summer well we got it. Here in Ohio, it was late getting here, it seems it didn’t arrive until the end of June. Hoping it will take its time leaving as well.  Now I was on a mission to find a cool refreshing summertime drink to serve my girlfriends on Friday at the pool.

Now I was on a mission looking at Pinterest and Facebook for fun drinks that I could make.  There were several great looking recipes that I found interesting and different. Something kept bringing me back to the Brazilian Lemonade.  There were several different versions, however, they all had one thing in common, none of them were made with lemons? This seemed so strange to me. Why was it called lemonade but it was made with limes.  This baffled me so I did some research.

Turns out the answer is quite simple:

No matter what variety (yellow or green, etc), the Portuguese word for lime or lemon is “limão”. Limonada is a drink made with the juice of a limão.  So there you have it – In Portugal they call both a lime or limao.

Making Summertime Brazilian Lemonade is quite simple. You will need fresh limes, lime juice, lime zest, granulated sugar, cold water sweetened condensed milk, Marchiano cherries (optional for garnish)and Ice for serving.
