WWW Tip:

Taking a shower at the gym can save you almost $35 a month on your water bill; which can also make your monthly membership fee that much more reasonable.

WWW Recipe:



Mojito Pie
Serves 8
(You can make this up to 1 month ahead!)

2 cups miniature pretzel twists
2 T light stick butter
1 T sugar
6 oz thawed frozen limeade concentrate
1 quart vanilla low-fat frozen yogurt, slightly softened
3 T rum
1 T crème de menthe
1 tsp grated lime zest

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. To make the crust, put the pretzels in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add the butter, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of the limeade concentrate; process until moist and crumbly. Press the crumb mixture evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-inch pie plate. Bake until lightly toasted, about 15 minutes. Let cool; then freeze until cold, about 10 minutes.
3. To make the filling, mix the frozen yogurt, remaining limeade concentrate, rum, crème de menthe, and lime zest in a large bowl until blended. Spoon the filling into the crust. Freeze until firm, about 4 hours. Loosely wrap the pie in wax paper and then in heavy-duty foil. Freeze up to one month. To serve, let the pie soften slightly in the refrigerator about fifteen minutes before slicing.
