That, as all your meals looks so yummy! I was looking to see if you have arecipe for the strawberry lemonade. That sounds so good. Do you just make your regular lemonade recipe and add strained strawberries?
I have enjoyed your blog so much since I found you. You are my kind of cook. We cook a lot alike but I have learned a lot from you as well.
Keep up the great work.

Why thank you Brenda!! I haven't put the recipe up yet but it's the "easy" version. I take a pint of strawberries, puree them and then strain them just to make sure to get out any chunks. Add that puree to a pitcher, add a can of lemonade concentrate and I also add 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of sugar unless the strawberries are real sweet. I like this to be more sweet than tart. And then add the water. Easy! You can of course make the fresh lemonade with the simple syrup and add the strawberry puree but I pretty much reserve fresh lemonade for special occasions since lemons are kind of expensive. I need a lemon tree! Thanks so much for your sweet comments - I'm having fun with the blog and I love hearing people are enjoying it too!

Oh Mary--this post is killing me!!! I miss shrimping and putting up fresh shrimp. It's been so long since I had fresh from the gulf shrimp. I may just have to go buy some shrimp so I can have some fried soon!! Asparagus is another favorite--I plan to have some asparagus beds soon too--at least then I could get that fresh.
I made the chicken and dumpling bake the other day--finally--well--one daughter didn't want it because it wasn't bisquick dumplings and the husband wasn't too enthusiastic either. I had one bowl left for me the next day--husband took it to work for his lunch. I asked him what he wanted for his lunch the next day--more chicken and dumpling bake!! Thank goodness I had picked up a rotisserie chicken that morning. At 8:30 that night, I was in the kitchen making more of the c&d bake!! So--in a little over 24 hours, I had made it twice. I think that will be my go to recipe when I just don't feel like cooking--I always have the ingredients on hand and it tastes so good. Thanks for your blog and the great recipes. Sheila in NC

Tootsie you are SOOO sweet girl. If only I could cook up my gardens to look remotely like your gardens!!

Awww Shelia. I wish I could ship you some shrimp. Hubs is going back out tonight and I'd love to put up another 20 to 30 pounds. I peeled up about 6 pounds of smaller sized shrimp for sauces, gumbos etc. My Hubs is like that about food. He'll turn his nose up at something new or a name he's not familiar with, so now he'll ask me what something is and I'll just say "it's food, eat it!" He's eaten more things that he'll never know that it's hilarious!! It's a nice easy dish to pull out in a hurry. Glad your hubby liked it after all!

Mmmm, those shrimp look wonderful. I love your fryer! We have one of those old round ones, too... it must be from the year 1620... came over with the Pilgrim, hehe. I don't do a lot of frying but I hate to drag that old thing out whenever I do want to.

Karen, you know how we southerners are with our frying! I was the sme way with my old fryer - rarely used the stupid thing. There is a world of difference between those two fryers, and I find that I used this one a lot more! It really does a fantastic job of keeping things fried crisp and not greasy.

Mary, thank you for the recipe, I will be making it this week. It will be a great alternative to my regular sweet tea.
Have a great week.
