Inspiration Sunday - Limes

The other day I was shopping at Costco (*note to self, I really have to stick to my grocery list, because I can end up spending way too much $$ there!) and I came across a HUGE bag of limes.

There were 26 in a mesh bag (yes, I counted them) for $3.99. I thought that was a steal of a price because at the grocery store they are often 2 for $1 or the best price I've seen is 4 for $1, which for 16 of them would be $4. So at the best price (less a penny) I would be getting 10 more!

So now the question is, what in the world do I do with all these limes besides adding them into my water? :) I searched for different recipes on the internet and here are some ones I would love to try.


Lime and Lemonade
A cool and refreshing drink in the hot summer heat. I love the combination of lemon and lime together.

Chicken Satay
These skewers of yummy chicken goodness would make a tasty appetizer. It would also taste so good on top of a salad.
