Baby Shower Recipes

I made these 2 items for a baby shower I just helped throw. They are delish! I like both of these because they are dependable recipes, they always manage to turn out.

Pineapple Lemonade Punch

Ingredients:
1 C country time lemonade mix
2 C cold water
1 can chilled pineapple juice (46 oz)
2 cans Sprite, chilled

Mix all of the ingredients together and WAHLAH a yummy drink :)

*Tip: if you don't want a drink that is too tart, add more water or less lemonade mix.

1 lb mixed greens
1/2 C craisins
1/2 C candied walnuts
