Thirsty Thursday- Classic Lemonade

Welcome to my first ever Thirsty Thursday blog post! Yay! :) I'm so excited to share some non-alcoholic drink recipes. For this first Thirsty Thursday I will making lemonade! I have NEVER made lemonade before and I think this came out pretty well. I pulled this recipe from Better Homes cookbook. This book is thick but has good stuff in it!

Coke not included in Lemonade ;)

Ingredients:

4 cups water

1 cup lemon juice (I used 7 lemons)

2/3 cup sugar

ice cubes

lemon slices (optional)

Directions:

In a pitcher combine water, lemon juice and sugar.

Stir till sugar dissolves.

Serve over ice or chill till serving time. Makes about five, 1 cup, servings.

This tasted a little sweet not to sweet though and not at all sour. I could drink gallons of this!

I recommend this lemonade for any summer barbecue!

This raps up this week first ever Thirsty Thursday guys. Tag me on Instagram when you made this recipe!

Throwback Thursday- Sarah Turns Two! Plus Changes.

River day picture!

Yesterday we celebrated  two years of owning my little dog Sarah. We found her wondering the street in Buda one night and she came running to me and brought her home and no one ever claimed her. She is the greatest dog I have owned in a long time. She is full of energy and loves to play with tennis balls and squeaky toys. She has grown some not to much since I got her, she has though gotten longer hair.

Christmas 2012. First tennis balls!

The picture above I love even though it's blurry because it shows her true self which it sometimes a blur LOL! Living in Texas we try to take her to the river as often as we can because it gets hot and she loves to talk to people. Sarah doesn't really like to swim but she will walk into like belly deep water and stand there. Sarah is just a great dog and I think if we didn't spay her she would be a great mom but I have a lot of dog and I believe in spaying and neutering, instead of breeding. 

When I first got her, her hair was SO short!

Two things that I really hope that yall take away from this is to spay and neuter your pets and to adopt from a animal shelter. I have decided to changes things up a bit on the blog. I will be doing Throwback Thursday every other week and I will be adding a new "series" called, wait for it....Thirsty Thursday! It will be non-alcoholic drink "series" because I'm only 20 and legally can't drink. I already have a few drinks planned, so stick around to make some yummy drinks!

That's it for today's throwback. I hope yall enjoyed it. Let me know if you guys have any pets and what they are I would love to hear from you guys, comment below. Follow me on Instagram!
