Red wine sangria flavored with cherries, apples, and oranges
Author:
Serves: Approx 5 servings
Ingredients
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 bottle red wine (I used pinot noir)
  • 1 cup cherry juice (not tart)
  • 2 cups frozen sweet cherries
  • 1 apple or pear, chopped
  • ½ orange, sliced
Instructions
  1. Start by making a simple syrup: combine sugar and ½ cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for several minutes, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has thickened slightly. Set aside to cool.
  2. Combine remaining ingredients in a large pitcher. Add simple syrup to taste. Refrigerate for several hours to allow the flavors to blend. Serve over ice, if desired.

GUEST BLOGGER: Apple Snack Cake

November 18, 2014 by

Hi, Mommy on Demand readers. This is Allison again, back with another recipe to satisfy your sweet tooth. Today I have a delicious (and simple!) Apple Snack Cake for you.

Apple Snack Cake

I love when cakes are titled “snack cakes” or “coffee cakes.” To me, that means that they can be consumed for breakfast, as a snack, or dessert. And I’m pretty much always looking for a chance to eat cake for breakfast. 😉

We all have them and we all hate to wrap them. Weird objects are the worst to buy. You could just a box to put the dang thing in but that’s a whole extra step and laziness is my key to life! I’ll start off with this fart machine; yes, I bought my nephew a fart gun! It’s odd shape made it a little weird to wrap and it was too small for a big gift bag and too large for a smaller bag.

Halloween Table

Halloween Table

Hey everyone! So glad to be here and finally introduce myself. I’m Lindsay with Frenchie and I love anything and everything with a thought behind it. It doesn’t need to be homemade cause let’s face it, sometimes that just gets to be a bit stressful. I love taking things a little unexpected and making them into pretty killer things. Like this old cigar box that I just used some simple Hemp Oil on and my kids use it for school items now! I’m also really known for using my Cricut Explore since I got it a few months ago. Holy cow, awesomeness! They are going to be having a Black Friday sale that you won’t believe and I highly suggest you grab it!
