Lemonade… That Cool Refreshing Drink
Some of the best memories you’ll make are of doing very simple things with each other. Gabby and I decided to make some lemonade this morning with our left-over lemons. She was the squeezer and I was the cutter. Pretty darn tasty too!
Ingredients:
8 Lemons
2 Limes
1 Cup Sugar or Sweetener
4 Cups of Ice
Water
Cut and squeeze the juice of 7 lemons and 1 lime. Strain to remove pulp. Slice the remaining lemon and lime. Add to pitcher the juice, the slices, the sugar, then the water to taste. Top with ice and serve. Delicious!

Hot Boiled Peanuts
Hot Boiled Peanuts are a TREAT here in the South. Whether YOU like 'em or not, every true Southerner knows the smell of salty filled water boiling over on the stove in late Summer. The anticipation of what's to come with these salty little boiled devils is enough to kill you.
The trick is...
- Let it Rest
Let it Rest
You've heard me say it before... "Let it rest". When you grill a piece of meat (if you are from the west coast... barbecue a piece of meat) you HAVE to let it rest to get the best flavor and texture of the meat.
Remember the last time you burned your hand and got...

This recipe is delicious. Just ask my dad. I served him this on his last visit. This time around I added pasta and a creamier sauce.

- Coffee Crusted Steaks
It probably sounds gross. Coffee crusted beef? It did to me the first time it was offered as a special at Stoney River in Roswell GA. It doesn't taste like coffee at all. It pulls this savoriness out of the meat and really adds some depth. It's super easy to do and chances...

Cooking is a passion of mine. It looks like it might be a passion for Gabby too. She came up with this culinary creation while we were hanging out on a Saturday afternoon.
She also likes to dip cucumbers in soy sauce. I'm just sayin'.
