Blackberry Lemonade. I've disappeared for the last few days to enjoy the long labor day weekend.

Blackberry Lemonade

Spent with family and friends, it was good to step away from the kitchen and step outside for a change. The weekend weather couldn't be any more beautiful, with a sun that wouldn't stop shining, bringing warmth to the last few days of t-shirt weather. Winter comes quickly to the plains of North Dakota. The past couple days I've tried to breathe in the last few days of summer. To hold it in my lungs before the brisk fall air snatches it away, leaving me breathless. I can't prevent fall from coming any more than you can, but I can keep summer alive for a few more days with this blackberry lemonade. As a bit of a side note, I want to share a different kind of story with you. I spent Saturday in Minot, ND. I'm telling you this because I think it's important to know what kind of people your favorite artists and actors truly are.

And the best thing about making this limeade is that you can simply throw the limes quarters in the blender! Ever since learning about Brazilian Limeade I can’t seem to stop drinking it. I’m very thankful to my friend Liliana in Colombia who told me about this delicious drink. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did! Just be sure to serve it immediately, as it gets bitter after a while. Buen provecho!
