Easter Bird Nests

2 weeks until Easter! I love Springtime and thought these darling little nests were the perfect treat to bring to my neighbors on the first day of Spring. 1 bag Coconut Flakes 4 Egg Whites 1/4 tsp salt Mix these ingredients together and put in separate bowls if you want to use food coloring to dye coconut. Generously spray mini muffin tins with coconut oil or Pam and fill each tin with 2 Tb of coconut. Push down until it forms a little bowl. Bake at 300 for 25-30 minutes or until the coconut starts to turn golden on top. Fill nests with melted dark chocolate and your favorite Easter candy. So simple! (Thanks Martha)

Mint, Cucumber, and Lime Spritzer

One of my favorite refreshing low-cal drinks to serve at parties. I think it just screams SPRINGTIME! Combine and muddle together (mash together with a wooden spoon to get all the flavors out). Mint leaves Cucumber, sliced Fresh squeezed lime juice Next you can add what you like: Club soda Sparkling water Fresca 1/2 Can frozen limeade concentrate Let this sit for an hour or two before serving. Personally I like sparkling water or club soda but for parties I’ll add Fresca and/or limeade concentrate to sweeten it up. Before serving add a lot of ice and enjoy!
