How to Make Water

April 01, 2020/ Annie Tucker

Today’s recipe post couldn’t be easier! With shelter in place and everyone social distancing I know the shelves at the stores have become a little bare on the essentials such as toilet paper, canned goods and water bottles. Well good news, with this recipe you can make your own water at home so you don’t need to worry about going to germ-infested store after store looking for water bottles!

Water
yields 2, 16 oz servings

Ingredients:
32 oz tap water
2 cups of ice
2 lemon slices
2 drinking glasses
pitcher

Directions:
Fill a pitcher with 32 oz of tap water. Add the ice directly to the pitcher. Pour the water ice mixture into two glasses. Garnish each glass with a slice of lemon and enjoy!

If you make this recipe be sure to share a picture and tag me on instagram @_annietucker.

oh and April Fools ;)

Bites of My Life

April 01, 2018/ Annie Tucker

I apologize if you fell for my April Fool's joke yesterday, you weren't alone. However, I'm not sure I've ever pulled off an April Fool's joke more successfully. I was quite proud. I was also blown away by the amount of people who fell for my joke and messaged me saying how sad they would be if TAB really was ending. I've said it before, but you put all this content out and wonder if people even read it. So thank you, thank you for reading my posts, making my recipes and letting me know that you do so!

Jokes aside, I leave for Hawaii in one week. Did I tell you all I'm going to Hawaii? I haven't been on a real vacation in I can't tell you how long. It's just me and two girl friends, very spontaneously jetting off to paradise for a week. Did I also mention we booked this trip 3 weeks ago? Really embracing the "YOLO" motto for this trip.

I also posted 4 times last week. I haven't done that since hmm maybe 2015. TAB was in full force last week. Scroll back through my feed to see said posts.

-So excited to add Caroline to my Arbonne team!
-That soft boiled runny egg spilling out is giving me all the feels.
-Welcome to the hood Stella Nova. I don't know how you make your almond milk latte so good, but you officially have me hooked on them.
-Raspberry Lemon Protein Muffins were posted last week and you simple need to make them as soon as possible.
-Carrot cake protein shake was equal parts festive and delicious.
-Hello fresh, hello roomie taco dinner!
-When Claire love's espresso martinis, you surprise her with espresso martinis for her birthday..
-Creamy Vegan Lemon Bars, loved by all the non-vegan's I fed them too.
-Successfully pulled off an April Fool's joke for the first time ever.
-Double desserts and dessert fails are oddly becoming an Easter tradition. Carrot cake fail 2K12, double cheesecakes 2k14, pie crust mishap and two coconut cream pies this year.
-Eggcellent first Easter for Elle!
-Love our Easter feast tradition at home we have continued that past few years opposed to brunching out to eat.

Goodbye To You

April 01, 2018/ Annie Tucker

Michelle Branch said it best when she sang, "Goodbye to you, Goodbye to everything that I knew." Goodbye Take A Bite. It's been a stellar 5 years in this corner of the internet with you.

Today is my last day posting at Take A Bite. It took some serious thought and something I have gone back and forth on, then back and forth again, but I'm finally at peace with my decision to close the door on my little food blog.

I've loved sharing recipes, bites of my life and the occasional fashion inspo post, but after five years I'm saying goodbye to you.

I hope you understand. I hope you enjoyed the past few years. I hope you were able to make a couple of my recipes. I hope you still come back and visit (the site isn't going anywhere despite my posting coming to a halt). I hope you still following my life happenings on social media. I hope you keep on taking bites.
