So I wasn’t really planning on posting this recipe when I took the pictures. I really was just thinking I should update my header to something summery and was trying to come up with something quick and easy that I had on hand and that wouldn’t totally thwart all the efforts I am making towards loosing the baby weight.
Then I tasted it.
I mean I hated for it to go to waste.
It was SO good. I love homemade lemonade but I had never tried making strawberry lemonade for whatever reason, I should have ’cause it’s not hard and it is simply scrumptious.
I fell completely and utterly in love. So I decided I should post the recipe. I think next time I make it though I will use a more natural sweetener perhaps honey. I don’t use white sugar a lot for things (except cake and cookies – but whose trying to be healthy when it comes to those?) and since I thought I was just throwing this together for photographic purposes I figured it didn’t matter.
You could easily make this a pitcher recipe by just making a larger batch of course, which might be a good idea because you might want to drink a lot of this and then share it with your friends. That’s what my lovely husband does, people come over and he’ll offer something I’ve made and if they say no then he pretty much forces them to have some anyway. He loves sharing.
That’s a warning to you if you come to our house for any reason or for no reason at all. If Jeremiah offers food or drink to you, you may as well take some right off because eventually he will convince you take some.
And he will continue forcing it on you until whatever it is, is gone. So come hungry.
Anyway….
