Frozen Lemonade at Home

With the beautiful weather outside, doesn't it make you excited for planting new pots of flowers for your porch, grilling delicious hamburgers, and drinking cool and refreshing drinks? I love this time of the year; everything is so "new" and right now even watering the flowers is fun!

When the weather starts being perfect, I start thinking about those recipes that I love and wanting to try new conncoctions and this recipe is one of those treats!
I love frozen lemonade. It's zippy and tangy and a party for the taste buds. But why is it that we tend to only have these treats at theme parks? Let's have them at home too!

Here's my version of frozen lemonade. It's not sugar free, but it is fat free and it's filled with whole fruit and it's much cheaper!

Frozen Fruit Lemonade

3 TBSP frozen yellow lemonade
1 cup of frozen fruit*

Using a blender or an immersions blender, place 3 TBSP of the frozen lemonade and 1 cup (or more if you want!) of frozen fruit in the appropriate container. Blend until well mixed.

Pour into a cup and enjoy!

Yep! It's that easy!

Obviously, 1 can of lemonade will make several treats. You can make one treat at a time or the whole thing -- just add the fruit accordingly. I store remaining frozen lemonade in the refrigerator, covered. Which, means it's no longer "frozen lemonade" -- but your frozen fruit will make it thick and yummy!

*So far, I've used frozen mangos (my favorite so far) and dark cherries. I'll be trying a strawberry/banana/mango blend and blackberries next!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice!

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned. We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
