Memorial Weekend Sunday Bonus!

It's Memorial Weekend! The sky is sunny, coals will be getting hot on many BBQ grills and there is nothing like a fresh cold glass of lemonade to make the day (any day) complete! My friend Kelly shared this with me for homemade lemonade and I have to confess it has turned me into a lemonade snob - - - I just can't do frozen mixes any more. It is simply the perfect proportions! Enjoy the sunshine and a nice glass of lemonade!

Homemade Lemonade

1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 cup sugar
5 cups water

Find approximately 5 or 6 large lemons. Squeeze and mix 1 cup of juice with the sugar and water. Find a nice big glass with some ice (I really prefer crushed - see I am a snob) and enjoy!!!! A little sprig of fresh mint on top will make you feel like you did something really fun!!!

Saturday Special

This blog has been neglected entirely too long - so here we go - another attempt to bring back the fun of recipes, tips and just the plain LOVE of food! Today we have a "Saturday Special" - a recipe that is from my husband's grandma - so how can you go wrong? Homemade Oatmeal Rolls. These are so yummy - especially warm with some honey butter! Enjoy!
