Mojito Applesauce


I don't ever remember doing a recipe post, and I'm not going to start now.  Linda likes to cook, but she usually just throws a bunch of stuff together and it turns out tasting OK.  She isn't one to find a recipe, go buy special ingredients and then make it.  Last night after she had her oatmeal for dinner, she was looking for a snack.  It was one of the those times that she kept opening and closing the fridge and food cabinets not finding anything she wanted.  Each time she reopened them, her expectations went down.  Finally she spied a jar of applesauce.  Not perfect, but OK.  Then the canister of Crystal Light Mojito.
Best Crystal Light EVER! 
What if she sprinkled a little tiny bit of the Crystal Light Mojito powder right into the applesauce?  Worth a try, she could always just throw it out and have plain applesauce.  What!  It was amazing, delicious and is her new favorite treat.  Just use a tiny bit of the powder though, it's very strong.  Also you have to watch the sugar grams in the applesauce.  One serving can have 25 grams of sugar.  She likes it so much that she is going to get some apples and make her own homemade applesauce tomorrow.  It's super easy and she can control the added sugar content.  For some real recipes, go read Megan's blog    www.theredspoonblog.com
