Homemade Strawberry Lemonade

Written by Published on Updated on May 30, 2019 in Uncategorized

Wow, this week has been going by very fast, it’s Wednesday already and July 4th!!  I do have the American in me so I do celebrate this special day. 🙂    I have to apologise because I am late in responding to the wonderful comments that I have been receiving and I would like to thank you all very much!!  I have been a bit busy,  and yesterday to be honest I had a chance to sit in front of the TV to watch Tennis.  🙂 Rafa was playing so how could I not watch  🙂 🙂 not that I won’t be watching Tennis again today :)..Weeellll in all honesty for the next 2 weeks I will actually be watching a lot of Tennis hahahahhaha…along with everything else that I do daily. 

So, since today is a special day what better way to celebrate than with this summer drink that most of us have been drinking for many many years. I didn’t want to make the usual Lemonade, so by adding a few fresh Strawberries which I absolutely adore I made this Lemonade a bit more special and tasty. 🙂  Ohhh by the way, I haven’t just added Strawberries & Lemon juice into this I have also tweaked it (of course) with just a dap of  white wine. hahahaha..  A dear friend of mine use to add a bit of Vodka. I never got what she liked about it but as they say “to each his own” 🙂  

I like to add wine into my diet once in a while so here is another delicious drink for those summer afternoons or evenings.  You can omit the wine if you prefer..:)

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
