Best Lemonade Ever Review!

Summer's coming 

 Best Lemonade Ever

This lemonade is some of the best I have ever  

had. I did use a little less sugar, but will try the full amount next time to see the difference. I put fresh mint with it and it was a nice mixture. If you like lemonade, try this. You won't be disappointed.

Ingredients:

Put lemons in microwave for 20-30 seconds

 

Roll lemons back and forth a few times

Lemons are easy to squeeze and they come out clean

by putting in microwave and rolling them.

Put  juice in fridge and keep cool until ready to make

Put sugar in pan

Add 1 cup of water

Bring to boil- Remove from heat and let cool

Then put in fridge (right next to the Moscato) and let get cold

 

Pour lemon juice in pitcher

Pour cold sugar water in pitcher

Add 7 cups water and mix well

I added lemon slices and fresh mint from my garden

Enjoy!

Recipe:

Original recipe makes 20 (4 ounce) servings

         
1 3/4 cups white sugar

(I used 11/2 cups sugar but next time I will try the 13/4 cups)

         
8 cups water

         
1 1/2 cups lemon juice

Directions

 In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to boil and stir to dissolve sugar. Allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until chilled.

Remove seeds from lemon juice, but leave pulp. In pitcher, stir together chilled syrup, lemon juice and remaining 7 cups water.

Enjoy!

Suzy's Scallops Florentine Review!

Suzy's Scallops Florentine

If you love scallops, this recipe is for you. I loved the texture that these were cooked to. The cream sauce over these scallops is so delicious. I used the large fresh scallops from HEB. Their fresh seafood is always so good. The spinach was from our garden and it was so tasty. I will make this dish again and again. I am going to

Best Cream of Broccoli Soup Review!

Best  Cream of Broccoli Soup

This broccoli soup was very good but really needed some salt. While this was good, I have had much better Broccoli Soup. I did add a 

BLT Salad with Basil Mayo Dressing Review!

BLT Salad with Basil Mayo Dressing 

I really liked this salad but the salt on the

 croutons made it entirely too salty.

If I were to make this again, I would skip the 

salt altogether. I loved the croutons, just

Recipes coming up for review this week!

I haven't posted any new recipes the last few weeks.
 Just had a lot going on so I am going to review 
some this week. For awhile I will be making many

different kinds of salads. I love salad and am always

thought I would start with

Suspended Coffee!

I love this idea!!!

There’s a new movement called SUSPENDED COFFEES. This will warm you better than a coffee in a cold winter day:

"We enter a little coffeehouse with a friend of mine and give our order. While we're approaching our table two people come in and they go to the counter - 'Five coffees, please. Two of them for us and three suspended.'

They pay for their order, take the two and leave. I ask my friend:
'What are those 'suspended' coffees ?'

'Wait for it and you will see.'

Some more people enter. Two girls ask for one coffee each, pay and go. The next order was for seven coffees and it was made by three lawyers - three for them and four 'suspended'. While I still wonder what's the deal with those 'suspended' coffees I enjoy the sunny weather and the beautiful view towards the square in front of the café. Suddenly a man dressed in shabby clothes who looks like a beggar comes in through the door and kindly asks

'Do you have a suspended coffee?'

It's simple - people pay in advance for a coffee meant for someone who can not afford a warm beverage. The tradition with the suspended coffees started in Naples, but it has spread all over the world and in some places you can order not only a suspended coffee, but also a sandwich or a whole meal."
Check out Suspended Coffees. Because Everyone Matters!

Enjoying the evening!
