This frozen strawberry lemonade is the easiest thing you’ll make all summer.
Embarrassingly easy, I tell you!
See that icy, frozen drink perfection? It’s about to land in your kitchen.
Okay so you only need two things here. TWO! Your favorite lemonade (a recipe, or bottled) and frozen strawberries.
That.is.it.
Of course, you can add some lemons or strawberries or fresh mint for garnish too. If you want to get fancy. But this is just about the least fancy recipe there is.
Oh! To get EXTRA fancy you could add some vodka. A splash or so. A shot or two. Blend it all up and voila! Boozy frozen strawberry lemonade, that is only three ingredients with the booze.
Right now I’m having a love affair with the Costco organic lemonade, so that’s what I use. I’ve tried it with Simply Lemonade which I also like. I never use a frozen lemonade concentrate – just the frozen berries. And depending on the brand of lemonade you use, you may need a few more strawberries or even a drop of honey.
AND! You can obviously use other kinds of frozen fruit here too. Blackberries! Blueberries! Peaches! Mango! They all sound delish, right?
Can you tell how obsessed I am with this ridiculously simply “recipe?”
I just love a good slushy drink!
I’m not one to order a frozen margarita since I love those on the rocks, but other frozen drinks always entice me. This is a super fun way to enjoy the last six weeks of hot hot summer at home. Blend one of these up and sit on the patio – and you can even do it during the day with this non-alcoholic version. No happy hour required! Reminds me of my lemonade frosé without the rosé.
Plus, the kids love it. It makes everyone feel like a kid again!
I’d like to float on that strawberry raft.

This sweet-and-spicy Pineapple Jalapeño Granita recipe is perfect for making a refreshing summertime dessert. And don’t worry, it’s not too spicy! Beat the Heat with a Frozen Treat I love North Carolina, but it is hot here.
As a consumer, my weakness is novelty. Instead of growing red tomatoes, I grow purple ones; instead of listening to No Doubt in junior high, I was obsessed with Pavement. I’ve always been slightly contrarian by nature and I think my appreciation …

We’ve had a heat wave here in Minneapolis, which I’ve welcomed with open arms for two reasons: last year we were robbed of a fall (it rained and was cold and the sun rarely shone and we never got our bright, crisp, Autumn days) and I’m not ready to let go of summer quite yet. I’m still drinking an Iced Americano through out the day, my windows are flung wide open from dawn to dusk, and I’ve tried to keep baking to a minimum so as not to have to turn the air conditioning back on (it just feels wrong in September). I also made these ice cakes from Alana Kysar’s beautiful new cookbook, Aloha Kitchen, to cool us off in the afternoons. I am enamored with Alana’s book – it is a gorgeous collection of recipes: favorites from her childhood growing up in Hawai’i, along with modern twists, and accompanied by her stunning photographs. She also gives a brief history lesson on the Hawaiian islands, the food culture of the islands, and some political history as well. Her introduction to the book has stayed with me for months; giving me much food for thought. She writes: “This Hawaiian word […]

This recipe first appeared on my site in 2016. It’s from my book, The Vanilla Bean Baking Book. I love it so much, I’m sharing again. ************************************ First of all, I want to say thank you, oh my goodness thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I had so many kind emails and comments and tweets yesterday; your support of my upcoming book is overwhelming. I wouldn’t have this book without that support, and I am forever grateful to you, dear readers. Thank you for following along here, and for being so wonderful. And, here’s a recipe from the book! Today happens to be my birthday, one that I am slightly freaking out about, as I seem to be getting close to large numbers I didn’t think were possible. I will be celebrating today, however, with this S’mores Ice Cream Cake. It’s fairly simple to put together (especially if you go the store bought ice cream route), with a layer of toasted graham cracker crumbs, vanilla ice cream, more graham crackers, chocolate ice cream, and then a pile of meringue that is lightly toasted. An indulgent way to enjoy the fading of a near perfect summer vacation. S’mores Ice […]
