The Best New Year's Punch Ever!
I originally posted this recipe a few years ago. However it is SO good, I decided to post it again!
*****************************************************
We have this punch every New Year's eve. It is easy to make and tastes great too! If the amount is too much for your family, you can cut the recipe in half.
Here is the recipe:
New Year's Punch
2 packets of strawberry or cherry Kool-aid (we like cherry better)
1 can pineapple juice (1 lb. 14 oz.)
2 two litter bottles of ginger ale
4 cups sugar (you can use half of this and it still tastes good)
Vanilla ice cream
My recipe says to combine all ingredients in a punch bowl and add a few scoops of vanilla ice cream. However, after making this many, many times - I think it does make a difference in how you add the ingredients. I have found that if you add the ginger ale last, it will keep some of the fizzy bubbles in the punch much longer.
I start with the Kool-aid packet and then add the pineapple juice. Stir in the sugar and add a few scoops of vanilla ice cream (to taste). I usually add more later when these melt a bit.
Then add the ginger ale. The whole punch bowl will fizz up! Stir a bit and serve immediately.
This recipe also works well completely sugar free. Use Splenda instead of sugar and purchase diet ginger ale & sugar free ice cream. That is what we are going to do this year.
Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!
My most favorite music video of all time is from the Piano Guys. While all of their music is wonderful, this one tops them all!
Enjoy!
You can go to YouTube and key in 'The Piano Guys' to listen to more of their wonderful music!

More Christmas Blooms!
Since I have a lot of orchids, my house is full of many different blooming plants at Christmas time. Orchids are really not that hard to care for and they are so pretty to look at when they bloom! In addition to orchids, cactus is in bloom now too. (You really can't get a more easy-care plant than a cactus - anyone can grow one.)
Here are a few other blooms I have been enjoying this December.
Try your hand at some blooming houseplants! Many don't need much care are are so rewarding to display when they bloom!
