March 31st, 2011
When you are planning the menu for your child's party, it is important to remember that the drinks are just as important as the food. If the party is held on a hot summer day you want a cooling beverage and if it's during the winter something warming is called for.The choices you make should be related to the age of the children who will be attending the event. Although, you will find that many beverages are suitable for any age group.If you will be serving an older crowd, consider non-alcoholic versions of drinks such as pi?a colada's and flavored daiquiris, such as strawberry. These can easily be made without the addition of alcohol. You have the option of buying the 'pre-mixed' drink mix or making them from scratch. Give them different names than the alcoholic version so when they tell their parents about the party they won't mention they .. more»

Hold these relaxing tea parties for a minimum of 10 people for $100 (even if there are less people, still charge $100), and a maximum of 20 people or more. Charge $10 per person.

(Ever hear of someone searching for Magnesium Recipes?) That's right, resveratrol is a nutrient; it's actually classified as an antioxidant and a phytonutrient (found in plants). You can't make it any more than you can make a tall, cool glass of Vitamin A. However, you can put together a meal that's high in resveratrol, and even one that is chock full of antioxidants.So, your first recipe is for dinner. To get all the benefits of resveratrol without having to take a supplement, start with a Japanese knotweed salad (Japanese knotweed .. more»
