     Taco Bell Pina Colada Fruitista
    Beverage

    In only 10 minutes you can make Taco Bell's famous Pina Colada Fruitista just like theirs. Better yet you can enjoy this refreshing drink anytime you wish.

    4 Oz. Ice
    4 Oz. Pina Colada mix
    2 Oz. Sierra Mist soda
    1 Slice of Lime

    Place all ingredients into the blender and blend until ice is crushed. Pour into a glass and top with lime slice.

    Its Sierra Mist soda that gives this drink that extra fizz. You can even personalize your drink by adding zest like your favorite lemon-lime flavored soda. That way you have more then straight up Pina Colada.

    PUBLISHER'S NOTE

    For two years Dinner On A Dollar had focused on delivering information without additional comment.

    As you may have noticed your money saving newsletter delivery has fallen a tad behind lately due to Dinner On A Dollar expansion.

    We deeply apologize that so many of our efforts require concentrating on adding Healthier Food Preparing, also beginning new Food Prep Video Demos for your enjoyment.

    In the works is a Fall Pumpkin Fest Fundraiser, a Dinner On A Dollar Cook Book for the holiday season, and a TV cooking show for early 2012.

    We're also rebuilding two of the five Dinner On A Dollar websites while again soliciting Volunteers and Interns to help.

    In the meantime dinneronadollar.org has been preparing to add new food articles while dinneronadollar.mobi now brings cash saving recipes to your cell phones and other wireless devices.

    Fascinating Fact: In 10 years there will be no more bananas? Quite possiblly not what familes are familar with due to Panama's Fusarium Wilt disease.
    Bulging Budgets

    Shop for Sales or Specials? Grocery store offers save you more on shorter-shelf life items during the week. Sales, especially those lost-leader deals are had on weekends when they advertise to bring customers in.

    Consumer Research gets you more for your buck because you end up with more reliable products. This is especially true of apppliance.

    Get Health Insurance before Car Insurance, some companies give discounts for that.

    Create a grocery budget. Those who do save an average of $38 per week.
    To Your Good Health
    Summer Beet Soup
    1/4 can organic coconut milk
    5 fresh organic beets, peeled.
    1 tablespoon organic peeled shaved ginger
    1 tablespoon of sea salt.
    1 gallon of filtered water.

    Chop the beets into 1/2" cubes and throw into a pot on medium high on the stove.
    Let them get a little carmelized.  Then throw in the ginger and stir
    it around for 30
    seconds.
    Pour in all the water.
    Add the salt.
    Boil it, then reduce to simmer for 1 hour.
    Reduce to the lowest keep warm setting on your stove.
    Churn it up really well with an immersion blender, or very carefully
    in batches in a normal blender until it very smooth.
    Stir in the coconut milk at the very end, and taste it and adjust the
    salt and perhaps add more water.  Serve.  It makes lots of servings.

    This dish is cheap.  It is full of vitamins.  Beets are a superfood.
    They prevent cancer and make your skin glow.  Ginger settles the stomach (remember ginger ale as a kid when you were sick?) Coconut
    milk is also a whole food, not an extract, and it also is great for your skin, which is why it is in so many skin care products.
    This soup will make you younger. Really. Try it.

    It also works with sweet potatoes, yams, or carrots.  Any sweet tuber vegetable.

    This info complements of Dinner On A Dollar comes from reader Curt Finch. If you like Curts recipe for one of the Super Foods, ask for more.
