* image These past few months have been busy for our family, especially since our oldest joined a local swim team. Between juggling our work schedules and balancing school with practices... we're all pretty wiped out. Although it's a lot of work, I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving. Preparing the holiday meal for our family fills my heart with joy, and I can't wait to get started. To make things easier for me, I don't deviate much from our first Thanksgiving as a family. The dishes I make are familiar ones, and the recipes for them live at my fingertips. Keeping the same menu year after year means I don't have to spend time researching recipes or planning a new one. Here are my tried-and-true Thanksgiving recipes, as well as my prep timeline for the big day!
I was provided with a product sample of Zulka Morena® Pure Cane Sugar at no cost to me. I did not accept monetary compensation for writing about the product or about my experiences while using it. All opinions expressed are my own.
To ease us all into another work week (I do not have Columbus Day off), I'm going to share another mocktail recipe you featuring Zulka Morena® Pure Cane Sugar. Of all their mocktail recipes that I tested, this one was, by far, my favorite.
You're going to want to start by muddling some mint and lime juice together in a tall glass with a wooden spoon. Bruising the mint leaves will help release their natural oils and extract the most flavor from them.
Then add some Zulka sugar and some ice.
Finish the drink off with some ginger ale and club soda, and that's it! All you need to do is give everything a quick stir, and you're good to go. If you're feeling extra festive, then garnish with a wedge of lime.
