Girls night anyone?

Came across this recipe while looking through my favorite blog... Would this not be perfect for a girls night?

Ingredients:

1 bottle champagne - chilled
1 lemon - FINELY zest half of lemon & juice whole lemon
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 box of small frozen strawberries - thawed

Directions:

In a sauce pan make your simple syrup by cooking water & sugar over medium heat until it boils & thickens.
Take off of heat & let cool. Once cooled, place in refrigerator for a few hours allowing it to cool completely. In a glass baking dish add your chilled bottle of champagne. Add your simple syrup. Add the lemon zest & lemon juice. Stir & place in freezer. Stir occasionally.
Leave in freezer for 3-4 hours until slushi consistency. Before you’re ready to serve your slushis, add in the bag of thawed strawberries & juice. Mix well. Serve in chilled glasses. Garnish with fresh mint if you like.

Cheers,

B

Boise State Football Party!!

Over the weekend my Mom and I hosted a football party in Idaho. I was browsing through one of my favorite blogs: hostessblog.com and tried to recreate it! I have that blog on the side for inspiration... Check it out! Since Idaho is home of the Broncos you will see the theme throughout the pictures.
Enjoy!
