Detox Water Recipes | A Dozen Detox Drinks You Will Enjoy

Before eating, especially when working on weight loss, I find it very important to have a tall glass of water. Water can aid in making your brain think it is full faster than creating a full belly of caloric intake. Beyond the many benefits of water for your body and cells, adding some fruit and other ingredients can have many benefits as well.

Fruit infused waters are a great alternative to water because they taste amazing and they’re made with super healthy ingredients. Not only do they have mineral and vitamin advantages, but they also are great options over snacking.

We think you will love these homemade vitamin water recipes. Each contains no added sugar, no artificial sweeteners, and no added weirdness. Try a fruit infused water before popping your next meal.  Enjoy!

Copycat Goat Cheese Balls. Delicious, creamy cheese bites coated with a blend of almond flour, bread crumbs and thyme. Pair with a sauce of mango, papaya and pineapple. A tasty cheese appetizer just like every one’s favorite restaurant! 

Goat Cheese Balls

I have heard about goat cheese balls and I have been dying to try them only I don’t know if any restaurants in my area that serve them. In order to appease that craving, we had to make these goat cheese balls ourselves.

First, they took me a few days to master but I made them. They are not necessarily easy to make so if you want easy, you should move on. Keep in mind that it is important that the breading is lighter. If you want a heavier breading then you should dip more in egg and then the bread crumbs. Follow this cooking tip – when browning, I kept the pan moving and only did a few at a time and let them roll around and brown.

Enjoy!

Goat Cheese Balls

Ingredients:

• 4 oz creamy goat cheese
• 1 egg
• 1/2 C. almond flour
• 1/2 C. bread crumbs
• 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
• Olive oil

Sauce Ingredients:

• 1/4 mango
• 1/4 papaya
• 1/8 C. pineapple juice
• salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Combine the goat cheese, almond flour, bread crumbs and dried thyme.
2. Place the mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes.
3. Remove and use a small 2″ cookie scoop to roll the cheese mixture into balls.
4. Place each cheese ball on a plate or small cookie sheet.
5. Once all the cheese is rolled into balls, place them in the fridge or freezer while heating the oil and making the tropical sauce.
6. Place the mango, papaya and pineapple juice in a food processor and blend.
7. Pour into a small dish and set aside.
8. Heat the oil on medium/high heat. Remove the cheese balls from the fridge/freezer and cook 2-3 at a time. Continually turning them. I found it was easier to lift the pan up and let them roll around. Cook a minute and roll around again.
9. Remove from the pan and serve with the tropical sauce.

Gnome Cookies

Did you catch the movie Gnomeo and Juliet? If so, you might find gnomes as adorable as our family. The movie is basically a creative twist on the classic Shakespeare tale. Two young garden gnomes, Gnomeo and Juliet, try to avoid tragedy and find lasting happiness together when they are caught up in a feud between neighbors.

If you enjoyed this movie, be on the look out for Sherlock Gnomes. When the gnomes go missing, there’s only one gnome for the job. This fun mystery is released in theaters on March 23, 2018.

Before kitting the theater or perhaps after you enjoy the show, make this adorable Gnome Cookies. If you don’t make them to go along with the movie, they are also fun for a garden party!
