Best Strawberry Daiquiri
It's officially happy hour with these easy strawberry daiquiris made with either frozen or fresh, sweet, in-season strawberries if you can find them. A little citrus juice really kicks the strawberry flavor up a notch and a bit of lemon-lime soda adds a hint of effervescence. Double or triple this recipe for a party and you'll never buy daiquiri mixes or canned, ready-made daiquiris again. Leave out the rum for a batch of the best strawberry-citrus mocktails around!
Christmas Pomegranate Salad
I love mixing up cheese and fruit in salads! This salad is not only tasty, it is full of great nutrients and antioxidants from the pomegranate seeds.
Miso Ramen Stir Fry
For these 15-minute miso ramen noodles with asparagus and mushrooms, discard that seasoning packet and amp up your instant ramen with fresh veggies and miso, which adds an umami flavor bomb. Instant ramen will never be the same. Try adding a hard boiled egg on top.
