• Put your bowl in the microwave and warm for 1-minute increments stirring after each minute.

• Keep doing this until your mixture is nice and smooth.

• Next you have a few options: You can use this melted Pepsi chocolate to dip strawberries, or other fruit into OR you can pour the mixture into a mold to set.

• For the molds, place it in the freezer to harden.

• The molds need to set for about 6 hours or less depending on the thickness.

If you are like me you love a good crock-pot recipe. This recipe is simple and packed with flavor.

Ingredients:

• Pepsi
• Chicken Breasts
• Barbecue Sauce

Directions:

Clean your chicken and pat it dry with paper towels.

Salt and pepper it and place it in the crock-pot.

Pour BBQ sauce and cover the chicken.

Pour Pepsi in to your crock-pot.

The Pepsi should cover your chicken fully.

Set your crock-pot on low for 5-6 hours.

It’s going to look and smell great, but make sure to check your chicken for an internal temperature of 165°F.

Once it reaches the safe temperature, remove the chicken from the sauce.

Take 2 forks to shred and pull apart the chicken.

We took the shredded chicken and made sandwiches. They were delicious and the chicken was so juicy and tender. We had leftovers, so I used those the next day for pulled chicken tacos. So yummy! This 3-ingredient crock-pot meal is definitely one to have in your menu rotation!

Directions:

• Scoop vanilla ice cream into your glass.

• Pour soda over top of the ice cream, watch for foam to develop at the top so that you don’t overflow the glass.
• Serve & Enjoy!

Notes:

• You can use any soda! We have also tried grape, strawberry, and of course, root beer floats!

I’ve recently challenged my self to cut back on sugar. This summer we did a lot of traveling and a lot of celebrating and needless to say I’ve packed on a few extra pounds. So in an effort to get things under control I am monitoring my sugar intake. Wherever I can consume things that have no sugar, I am on it. I decided to give Pepsi Zero Sugar a try and man am I glad I did. Pepsi Zero Sugar really tastes like the classic Pepsi but with the added benefit of having no sugar. I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was no aftertaste and really when doing a side-by-side comparison I couldn’t tell the difference. I think it’s great that Pepsi was able to put together a formula that offers no sugar without compromising on that amazing Pepsi taste. Pepsi Zero Sugar is worth giving a try, you will absolutely enjoy the classic great taste of Pepsi with the added benefit of having no sugar at all.

Give them a try today, they are available at your local commissary!

Add all the ingredients in with the steaks in an air tight container. Let marinate over night. Cook your steaks and enjoy the tender juicy flavor.
