PUCKER UP


Fresh squeezed lemonade, the quintessential flavor of summer. It is so easy to make the real thing, and once you taste the difference, you will never drink those awful imitations again. I use the follow as a general guide line, one cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar, depending on how sweet or tart you like your lemonade and four cups of water. I usually strain the juice before mixing it all together and I love to freeze some in ice cube trays. Using lemonade ice cubes prevents a watered down treat! I also zest all of my lemons before I juice them. I save the zest in zip lock bags in the freezer. That way I have fresh lemon zest on hand!

Hi rebelgirl7,
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Describing oats as a grey area sums it up perfectly! I have not had any oat, and after two years of a gluten free diet I have not had substantial healing and still have symptoms. It has been a frustrating journey. I try to stay focused on what I can enjoy rather than pine for things I can't have. Shauna is the best!
