Make Lemonade out of Lemons

Make Lemonade out of Lemons - Recipe!

A little cooler her today which makes the weather just about perfect (for me).

Today in school we continued with our Earth Week lessons and made a special treat! Homemade Lemonade!

It was our first time ever making fresh squeezed lemonade and I will admit there is SUCH a difference in store bought! The kids LOVED IT! (see end of post for SIMPLE recipe)

My preschooler - loves the coloring fun....

Molly's coloring talents amazed me even at a very early age...

Lemonade Recipe:

Step 1:

1 cup water

1 cup white sugar

(heat on stove until sugar dissolved)

Refrigerate until cooled

Step 2:

squeeze enough lemons to make 1 cup lemon juice (for us it was 10 lemons)

take out seeds

once simple sugar is cooled (above sugar and water)

add fresh lemon juice to the mixture and 3 cups cold water

stir and enjoy!

Kids did not realize how hard it was to squeeze them

by hand...my hands hurt a bit but smelled great!

She will try any food! LOL

Tomorrow we are joining some other homeschoolers at a local Zoo!

Have a great day and Be Blessed!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
