Based off my mint tea punch recipe, this is a quick and easy way to make an adult pitcher drink that is wonderful for those hot summer nights! The mint and rum make this cocktail reminiscent of a mojito, but the tea and juices give it an added twist! Add more rum to make it stronger, or reduce the kick by adding less rum and more cold water. It's a versatile, refreshing, and above all, easy drink to make. Serve over ice, and garnish each glass with orange and lemon slices and a sprig of mint. Enjoy!

Bread Machine Almond Bread
I created this bread machine recipe with almond flour because I wanted bread with some extra protein for breakfast. This is an excellent, very faintly sweet breakfast bread with an unusual but satisfyingly bready texture. The crust has a great flaky-chewy consistency while remaining soft. It is dense but not heavy, and the extra protein from the almond flour keeps the mid-morning munchies away. It is very good with a slice of cheese and some fruit on the side.
