Love Weekends

DSC_0959

DSC_0960table3One of our favorite things to do on weekends is to wake up late and fix a big, greasy breakfast. Today we had a sausage egg scramble and spicy fried potatoes with cheese! It’s been super cold all day. It might even snow tonight, so we needed something filling to stick to our ribs.

I think I might try to start doing these little slice of life post to help improve my photography and give ya’ll a glimpse into our everydays. What do you think?

Love Cocktails: Strawberry Grapefruit Mimosas

I love a classic mimosa, but for brunch on Sunday I wanted to try something a bit different. So, somehow I got the zany idea to substitute grapefruit juice for orange juice. Here’s what you’ll need to recreate this bright, delicious drink.

Ingredients:

  • 1 bottle of (cheap) champagne
  • 1 bottle of grapefruit juice
  • 1/2 cup of sugar (You could use less sugar if you like a tart drink)
  • approximately 1 dozen strawberries

Cut up the strawberries.

Add the sugar to the strawberries and mix.

Transfer strawberries to a pitcher or a glass and meddle with a spoon.

Fill the pitcher 1/2 way full of grapefruit juice.

Top the pitcher off with champagne. Stir. Enjoy. It’s too easy!

Mondays call for a cocktail, don’t you agree?
