Howdy Ya All! I feel obligate to say that even though I am from up north. We live in a small but growing Texas town. About 20 minutes outside of Dallas, 6 or so miles from South Fork Ranch where they filmed Dallas the TV show. We are the blessed parents of three happy children- I would like to lie and say three healthy children...buy my girls are lovingly know as the "Typhoid Twins". This website is all about the Ray's well it's really all about me Ally- and what I think is cool! I spend most of my time chasing kids and sewing, but I try to update this site at least once a week.
We have been trying to find ways to eat the
recommended 5 servings of fruit and veggies every day. Since we all
have a wicked sweet tooth. We thought we would try only eating
desserts that are made from fruit and/or fruit juice plus other
healthy ingredients. Some of the recipes are healthier than others,
but it’s a great way to add that extra fruit into your family’s
diet. All of the recipes below use fruit and/or fruit juice plus
other natural ingredients to create more nutritious food
alternatives to over processed store bought desserts. You can adapt
these recipes to make them even more healthy buy using organic
ingredients, whole grains, and eggs from free range chickens. Let’s
be honest, the chances of us mom’s having time to go to an orchard
to pick fruit and a garden to veggies to blend perfect meals for our
families is pretty slim in these busy times. If we can sneak it into
desserts maybe they won't even notice ;0) Lemon Ice Recipe 4 cups water 3 ½ cup sugar 1 cup fresh lemon juice 1 tsp.
