3 Sisters, 3 Cards ...

I designed this card back in December for one of my “Create With Kathe” craft classes.
Originally I made it with the “Bermuda Bay” and “Coastal Cabana”, but having 3 birthdays this month, all sisters, I made it is 3 different colour combos.
 
For my Auntie Dawn (my Mom’s twin sister), whose favourite colour is purple, I made it in “Wisteria Wonder” and “Concord Crush” ...
 


 
For my Auntie Janne (my Mom’s younger sister), who loves bright colours, I used “Calypso Coral” and “Tangerine Tango” ...
 


 
 
And for my Mom, she received the gorgeous “Bermuda Bay” and “Coastal Cabana” card …
 


 
 
As a wee treat, each of my Auntie's were also given a gorgeous "Lindt Excellence Passion Fruit Intense" block of chocolate with yummy pieces of Almonds ... mmmmmmmm!!!

Kathe's Kitchen: "Homemade Lem♥onade"

I was recently given a recipe for Lemonade from my good friend Sally.
Well, I have adapted and added my own twist, and here it is ...

Kathe's "Homemade Lem♥onade"

 
Kathe's "Homemade Lem♥onade"
Zest of 3 Lemons
Juice of 8 Lemons
3 cups of Water
3 cups of Sugar  {next time I may reduce the Sugar!!!!}
1 teaspoon Citric Acid
1 teaspoon Tartaric Acid
1/4 teaspoon Epsom Salts

After juicing the Lemons, I then strained the juice to get rid of any stray seeds etc.
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan, bring to the boil and then simmer for 1 minute.
Leave to cool before bottling.
 


 
 
                         Bottle is shaken here,                         Bottle is NOT shaken here
                      note the Zest floating ... 

This recipe is very strong, so you only need to add a fraction of syrup to a glass {approx. 1cm in depth} before topping with carbonated water i.e. Soda Stream {but without the flavour added} .
An xtra cool and refreshing drink, which any spirit can be added to, Vodka, Tequila, Gin ... yum!!!
 

I just had to add a video of the drink bubbling away, the spray of the bubbles were jumping so high that they actually touched the camera!

Recipe:
“Yonanas Banana, Boysenberry, and Orange Dream”
2 frozen Bananas
6 frozen Boysenberries

My Biggest hint is to pull apart and disassemble your "Yonanas" machine after use, as there is allot of the dessert mixture left behind in the different parts, as you can see from this piccie!!!

Kathe's Kitchen: “Yonanas Banana, Apricot and Orange Dream”

I recently redeemed my FlyBuys points for a “YonanasFruit Ice-Cream Maker.
Being Summer here in New Zealand, I have been having fun making up different recipes to try out in my new Yonanas!

My BIGgest  hint is to pull apart and disassemble your Yonanas machine after use, as there is allot of the dessert mixture left behind in the different parts, as you can see from my piccies!!!






My first recipe combines 3 frozen bananas, 2 frozen Juicies and a pottle of Apricot Yoghurt, which I popped in the freezer overnight {once frozen divide the frozen yoghurt up into 1/4s}, + a touch of Cinnamon to taste.



Recipe:
“Yonanas Banana, Apricot and Orange Dream”
3 frozen bananas
2 frozen Orange Juicies
1 Pottle of frozen Apricot Yoghurt
Cinnamon to taste

I combined the ingredients as follows, down the Yonanas shoot:
Banana
Yoghurt
Juicies
Yoghurt
Banana
Yoghurt
Juicies
Yoghurt
Banana


Mmmmmmm … a nice refreshing and cooling desert on such a hot Summers day!
