Homemade Fajitas

FreeRice

I would encourage all of you to take a few minutes out of your day and go to www.freerice.com. A sponsor will turn every correct answer you get into 10 grains of rice to feed someone in a third-world country. If you need to brush up on math, English, geography, etc, this is an excellent way to do. It's also a good way to turn a strong point in some subjects into food for a hungry person.

From lemons...

to lemonade! After going through countless lemonade recipes over the course of many years, Mom discovered one that is really good! To make, cut and squeeze 8 lemons (or approximately 1 cup of juice.) Then make sugar-water: one cup hot water, 3/4 of a cup of sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved, then add a full tray of ice. Mix together, and then add 6 cups of water. *You may want to use a full cup of sugar. We used 3/4 of a cup, along with 4 drops of stevia.* The recipe may need tweaking, depending on how you like your lemonade tart, sweet, etc.). Enjoy!

Cupcakes!

Last night, while Mom was teaching a class and Dad and Ev were at a Civil Air Patrol meeting, I was busy in the kitchen making cupcakes from our favorite cake recipe. They turned out really well, although after I frosted them and when I was transporting them from the table to the counter-top, five of them fell off, and I had to throw one away, because it landed right by the dog bowl.... They taste scrumptious!

Squash!

Today Mom and I picked some squash from our garden! We fried them with onions, and they tasted really wonderful. As you can see, one of the squash is actually two conjoined. I'd never seen such a thing happen with vegetables!

Donuts!

My efforts were rewarded; my donuts turned out pretty well. They taste great for a "Chocolate Cake Donut," although my brother complains that they are too "healthy!" Anyway, I'll have to experiment with some different recipes. Let me know if you have a favorite donut recipe!

Don't they look just scrumptious!
