Love-it Lemonade

Ingredients

1 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice (about 4 lemons, plus extra for garnish)
5 cups water
¾  cup sugar
optional: raspberries, blueberries, or sliced strawberries 

Use a citrus juicer to squeeze the juice from the lemons.  Mix the ingredients in a large pitcher and taste, adding more sugar or water if necessary.

For an extra twist, throw some berries into your glass!

Grits 'N' Eggs

Something different for a Sunday breakfast!
 Ingredients
(for two servings)

1 ½ cups water
¼  teaspoon salt
¾  cup grits (or cream of wheat)
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
a couple sprigs of green onion, thinly chopped
2-4 eggs, as desired

Bring the water to a boil with the salt in a pan.  Slowly stir in the grits.  Reduce heat to low and add half a tablespoon of butter, the parmesan cheese, some pepper, and most of the green onions.

Use the rest of the butter to fry the eggs over-easy. 

Spread the grits into bowls and lay the fried eggs over the top.  Sprinkle on the rest of the green onions and a little more pepper.  Enjoy!

Orange Julius

Ingredients
(for two glasses)

3 oz. orange juice concentrate
2 cups vanilla ice cream*
½ cup milk
1 organic egg

*For a slightly less creamy, more smoothie-like texture, you can substitute another ½ cup of milk and 2 cups of crushed ice instead of ice cream.

Throw all of the ingredients into a blender and mix until smooth.  Quick and delicious!
