Welcome to my blog! You might be thinking, "365 Lemontinis? Is this a drinking game blog?" Nah. Just my upgraded concept of making lemonade when life hands you lemons. (Let's face it Lemontinis are much more exciting than plain ol' lemonade! And only if you are of age mind, I don't endorse underage drinking!!) I hope this will be a fun, creative outlet for me and that anyone reading it gets a kick out of it too. My "Maiden" post was on New Years Eve 2011 and it explains my motivation for this blog (in rather great detail, sorry.) I'll be writing one post a day for the duration of 2012, squeezing the deliciousness out of life even when it's tough.

Thanks for reading!

MAGIC BEANS!!!!!!!!!


So. Did you know you could get a large jar of "gourmet," jelly beans at Sams Club? Well you do now….you can get a large jar of "gourmet," jelly beans at Sams Club.

I saw these and quickly plopped them into my cart. Our whole fam loves jelly beans especially Jelly Belly, which is what I thought they were at first. They are not, They are an off brand and while they are no where near the taste caliber of Jelly Belly, they don't disappoint.  I just spent much more time than necessary sitting and creating new taste explosions with the flavors. A few I made up -- 

Java + Marshmallow + Vanilla Bean=
caramel macchiato

Orange + Peach + Vanilla Bean= 
 Fuzzy Navel Creamsicle

2 Pears + Margarita=
surprisingly came out tasting like Sprite


I now have a sugar bean overload tummy ache which, admittedly, I'm not sorry for. I couldn't stop popping them into my mouth one after the next in the hopes of creating new flavor combos. Those babies are addicting! The little bowl is the one I have left on the dining table for when one of us wants a random bean or two...or 30. No...I did NOT eat the entire bowl!
