Blue and I made lemonade this afternoon...
Our first batch of the year was tried out yesterday and was so delicious we drank the entire pitcher. I'm making it my mission to spend a couple of days in the kitchen with her each week, cooking. She adores making "concoctions" but is starting to have an appreciation for the kind you can actually consume. This is, most likely, thanks to her Papa who cooks pancakes with her every weekend.
Boil 1 C. of sugar & 1 C. of water for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Hand squeeze 1 C. of lemon juice.
After sugar/water mixture cools down a bit add lemon juice and stir well.
Transfer to pitcher and add water to taste.
We love to add some ice cubes to cool it down quicker!rrently our favorite children's cookbooks are...
•Fanny At Chez Panisse

•Kids Cook 1-2-3 by Rozanne Gold
•Look And Cook by Tina Davis
•Honest Pretzels by Molly Katzen

This is our current favorite cooking with the kids cookbook- it is british & has a different view of things, which is kind of nice. My son likes that it is nice an messy.

Jean, I want the maple syrup recipe. Sounds so good! I'm also thinking about trying it with agave nectar...
