Fruity Freds came about because my family likes to name things after themselves and each other....and last summer I became friendly with a little refreshment I concocted made of Black Cherry Fresca and Bacardi Green Apple Rum.
WELLL!!!!! Both are apparently hard to find in St. Louis......
SO! We made them with black cherry rum and plain old Fresca, and they were good....
so THEN, we started experimenting with other rum flavors and cometofindout......Fruity Freds are good with just about any combo of Fresca and fruit flavored rum we've tried so far.
So, to make a Fruity Fred you mix a can of Fresca in a cup of ice with any fruit flavored rum. You can run it through the blender if you want, but this is not necessary.
Oh, and I am Fred. Been Fred since before I could walk in my mom's side of the fam......don't ask, you'd have to know the family to understand.

I'm a busy mom with 4 growing boys....recently divorced and back to school myself full time to add to the chaos. Gluten Free cooking scares a lot of people, but it shouldn't....I'm hopeful that this blog can help people make the transition a little less scary.

About Me
- Jen
- I'm the mother of 4 boys.....from high school graduate to elementary school, 10 year span from oldest to youngest. Recently divorced, back to school full time, was a stay at home mom for 15 years. Diagnosed with Rhuematoid Arthritis in 1999, Gluten Allergy/Celiac in 2005. Have not had an RA flare up since going GF!!! There isn't enough money in the world to make me eat gluten!
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.....
1. I babble. A lot. In real life and in cyber space. Sorry, it is just is who I am and I'm not likely to change that about myself anytime soon.
2. My recipes are usually a mish mash of more than one that I have 'tweaked'. So just beware if you follow one of my recipes. I rarely make the exact same thing twice, there is usually some variant. Play, have fun, it's food, enjoy it!!!
3. Cooking times on all my recipes are approximations. I rarely set a timer. I've gotten better at setting the timer as life has gotten crazier, but I still like to burn things on occasion, just to keep everyone on their toes. Plus it's a good excuse to open the windows and air out the house.
4. I have picky boys. Your boys might not like the taste, texture, color of some of my recipes, but my boys do and that is all I can strive for. Sorry, I can't make everyone happy, I just do what I can to keep my crew on the go.
5. If you have something I need to try, some tweak you have made, some bad outcome, let me know.....I like to change things up and may not have tried what you have tried.
6. Cooking is an experiment. You have to be able to fail and just have fun. If the crust is bad, then eat the filling, if the filling is bad then eat the crust, and if the whole thing is bad, well, just open a bottle of wine and tell the kids to make soup.
7. Always remember, Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves for we shall always be amused.......
