Neva's Lemonade

I'm so glad I have such fond memories of my grandmothers.

One of the memories that I often think about on warm summer days (or when it's 85 degrees in April) is the lemonade I used to help my Grandma Neva make.

I have vivid memories of sitting at her kitchen table with all the ingredients out next to me.

She told me to make the lemonade.

I asked how that first time and she just said to squeeze a lot of lemons into the pitcher, pour in some water and then put in a lot of sugar.

Really intricate, right?

Well, that's how I like my lemonade and that's how my kids like their lemonade.

Water, lemons and sugar.

Pork Chops, Apple, and Grits

This was a recipe from P-dub recently.

It was sooooo good!

I had no idea that I liked grits until now!

Quinoa - Who Knew?

Southwest Quinoa

I feel like I missed the boat on this stuff.  It's a lot like rice and you can put it with just about anything and it takes on that flavor...much like tofu only not nearly like tofu.

I couldn't stop eating this recipe.

Southwest Quinoa and Burritos!

Last night I made this and this.

Both were really really good!

This week is a crazy busy week with sports and sports and sports all in the evenings.  I am using up leftovers on Monday and Tuesday.  Hoping to make some Pinterest recipes later this week!  My daddy brought me a huge bag of fresh asparagus and I'm going to roast it using this recipe tonight!

Pinterest Recipe Week

Last week I made some Pinterest Recipes...but didn't take pics.  Sorry!

Edamame

Roasted Green Beans

Mushroom Green Beans

Dr. Pepper Brisket

Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken

All were super yummy except I didn't really enjoy the Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken.  My Man did though!

Easter Cupcakes

My mom got these darling cupcake liners and picks last year on clearance and I could not wait to use them this year!

Just a simple vanilla cake mix.

And vanilla buttercream frosting.

I took the entire tier of cupcakes outside for the kids to enjoy.

And boy did they ever.

and we found a snail while we were out there.

And then it started getting dark and buggy so we went inside for showers and baths.

The End
