I often find myself in need of a cold glass of lemonade on hot sunny days. Doesn't everyone?? That's why I thought I'd share this recipe. So instead of searching for that piece of paper with the old traditional method on it, just try this and tell me what you think :) I guarantee you won't go wrong with sugar, lemon juice and water!
This recipe makes 20 servings
You need:
1 3/4 cups white sugar
8 cups water
1 1/2 cups lemon juice (freshly squeezed taste best, but as a cheat I sometimes use the bought stuff in the bottle - it still taste good!)
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring to boil and stir to dissolve sugar. Allow to cool and then refrigerate.
2. In a jug stir lemon juice, syrup and remaining 7 cups of water. You can sometimes do this when the syrup is has just cooled, and then leave the whole thing in the fridge until chilled.
Enjoy xx
Does anyone else adore music? Just thought I'd randomly write a deep and meaningful post. Sometimes, on down days, I'll flick on a song and it'll turn my mood upside down. Well actually, downside up. Music is a wonderful thing, and I don't know what I'd do without it! It inspires, relaxes, excites, and so many other emotions can be created with music. It's a gift from above. I believe that whether or not you play an instrument, anyone can enjoy music. From Beethoven to Taylor Swift, it comes in every form. I love music! (I know that sounded like what an excited little 3-year-old would say, but it's true!) c:x
Mmmmm...is your tummy rumbling in need of a chocolate fix? I know mine is! Whenever emergencies like this come to call, I make this microwave brownie that takes about 9.54 minutes in total (just kidding - it takes about 10 minutes). So tighten your apron and get your tastebuds ready for this insanely good treat :)
This recipe serves 5-6
Here's what you need:
1 cup sugar
1/2 butter (113g)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup flour
1/2 chocolate chips (this is optional - my excuse for it is if you're gonna eat brownie, you may as well eat it with all the chocolate chips too! Not a very good excuse but oh well ;)
Cream the butter and sugar together. Then add eggs and vanilla, mix well. Next add the flour and cocoa (and chocolate chips) to the mixture. Mix well.
Next scoop mixture into a microwavable dish, and microwave on high for 4 1/2 - 5 minutes. Let cool before you enjoy!
Happy weekend everybody x
G.L.I.T.T.E.R. I've used it for so many things, some of which I've blogged about (think sunglasses, ring). I got these jars of glitter all for $2 in total, I just can't get over how cute they are :) So, it's kinda random, but don't be afraid to go crazy and glitter something...and although you may end up with a few sparkles here there and everywhere, trust me it's worth it.
Have a great weekend x
