Peach Lemonade

I finally tried out this recipe I found on Pinterest several years ago. And it did not disappoint. I used the last of my Mom's summer peaches and it turned out wonderfully. I'm going to have to make it a lot more next summer!


Ingredients:

  • 3 peaches (or nectarines)
  • 5 lemons
  • 4-5 TBSP sugar (more or less depending on taste)
  • Water

Directions:

  1. Squeeze the lemons and set the juice aside.
  2. Peel the peaches, remove the pits, and dice.
  3. Puree the peaches and sugar well in a food processor.
  4. Mix the lemon juice with the peach/sugar mix.
  5. Add water until it tastes right, about the 2 quart line on your pitcher.
  6. Add ice and enjoy!

You can add more or less of any of the ingredients so it tastes how you want but this was pretty spot on for me. :)

BBQ Chicken Pita Pizza

I found this recipe on Pinterest and had to try it. It is an amazing and easy-to-make recipe. I highly recommend it!


Ingredients:

  •  2 pitas
  • 1/2 c. BBQ sauce, divided in half (I used Original Sweet Baby Ray's)
  • 1 c. diced cooked chicken
  • 1 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 c. thinly sliced red onions
  • Chopped cilantro, for garish (optional)

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 
  2. Place the pitas on a cookie sheet and spread 1/4 c. of the BBQ sauce on the pitas leaving a half inch border along the edge.
  3. In a medium bowl mix the diced chicken and a 1/4 c. of BBQ sauce.
  4. Sprinkle the mozzarella on the pitas and then evenly spread the chicken mixture on top of the cheese. 
  5. Scatter the red onions on top of the chicken.
  6. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until warmed through and browned. Enjoy!

You can use store bought dough, make your own or whatever you want really. I just like using pitas because of how easy they are. And definitely use a lot of red onion. It adds a lot. :)

Serves 2 people
