Healthy, fun, and delicious. Adam and I made this together. It was an excuse for him to use his grill. =) I think it is always a plus to cook with a partner.

Pomegranate Lemonade

This is really easy and really good!! The proportions are as follows for whatever size drink you're looking for.

1/3 pomegranate juice
2/3 soda water
spoonful of Crystal Lite pink lemonade (to taste)

This is really refreshing, and I'm sure that we can all think of a few choice mixers that might be good additions!

Boston is a trip so far... it's really fun, but a real challenge to be so far from everyone I know and love and everything familiar. I'll keep you all updated once I have time to do something fun!
