    If you haven't heard, I am obsessed with everything food. I watched the Food Network and Cooking Channel long before I started Create Mindfully.

    I didn't know how much I loved cooking and creating recipes until I left a career that was no longer satisfying me and started this blog.

    I think it's because I then had the time to cook. So many things change when you have the time to do what you love.

    This week I had a stomach bug for several days. What did I do during that time? I created this Easy Homemade Lemon Lime Soda recipe that's what I did!

    I normally do not have soda in the house unless it's ginger brew. It helps me when I have a stomach ache pretty much every time. It's all-natural, so I love it. Other than that, I don't buy soda.

    When this stomach ache / bug fell upon me, I was craving some lime soda to help. As I said earlier, I would have normally reached for my trusted ginger brew.

    With none in sight, I decided to take matters into my own hands. Easy Homemade Lemon Lime Soda to the rescue!

    Okay, so maybe it's psychological, but I felt better after drinking this homemade lemon lime soda. Maybe it has to do with the obvious go-to drink that kids are given when they're sick.

    It doesn't really matter - I just know that I now have another drink in my repertoire. The next time that I have guests over, this may just be one of their drink options.
