Company Iced Tea



We were having a weekend of guests.

Not over-night guests; just a weekend with a variety of guests.

Breakfast guests.

Hang-out-after-church- guests.

Neighbor guests.

That got me thinking.

"What can I serve to drink besides the regular stuff?"

Which that got me looking at different options.

I went to one of my trusty cookbooks . . .

the one my mom put together for me when I was getting married.

She collected recipes from family and friends, from both sides of our family,

and compiled all the recipes into a cute little cookbook.

Which I still use today.

This recipe is from our "Auntie Ronda," who, more than 30 years ago, started out as a neighbor and turned into family!

There, in the appetizer section, was this recipe.

Note:  maybe that's why I've missed it before . . .it was in "appetizer," rather than drinks, or miscellaneous . . . .

But for whatever reason, I saw it.

The ingredients are simple.

At the bottom of the recipe, my mom wrote, "very good."

With that kind of simple endorsement, I put the necessary ingredients on my shopping list.

Since then, I have made this about a bazillion times . . .this week!

It's so easy, even the Mr. is making it;

From memory!!

Pretty amazing, huh?

After serving it this past weekend, I was even asked for the recipe!

It was equally consumed by both the men, women, and children.

Company Iced Tea

2/3 cup instant lemon iced tea
6 cups water
1 cup white grape juice

Mix all of the ingredients into a pretty pitcher.

Stir well.

Serve over ice.

*easily doubled . . .or halved!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice!

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK.  Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity.  It is a wonderful experience!  And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant.  It's delish! So back to the casserole.  After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe!  The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret!  It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr.  Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure!  When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy!  Especial
