Here is the first recipe i've tried...Strawberry Lemonade.
Jessica of My Baking Heart picked the recipe and it's really delicious. I'm a sucker for anything sweet so I was excited to try this. AND this week our local strawberry guy was HERE with fresh strawberries!! I've never seen strawberries available this early in the year and I was skeptical they would be any good. But they are quite sweet and really juicy.
Picked this morning!! And we have a lemon tree in our backyard and the lemons are perfectly ready. You can't beat homegrown and local fruit for my lemonade today.
I rimmed the glasses with fine sugar and garnished with a strawberry. This stuff is delicious, reminds me of summer and makes me wish summer was here now! My kids loved it and even my husband, who is not a big sweets guy, liked it too. It was a fun first recipe to try!
If you want to check out all the SMS bakers, check it out HERE. It was nice here today, but the clouds are rolling in and it looks like possible rain. I'm going to curl up with a nice book and sip some lemonade while my kids watch a movie. Happy Sunday everyone!!

Welcome to SMS! Your lemonade looks delicious. Hope the movie was a good one!
I bought fresh strawberries the other day but they are VERY not local -- between the climate and the altitude, local berries are a SUMMER thing. I pick blackberries and apples on the same day in August each year.
YUM! and served so fancy. ;)
