My husband is a big weekend project kind of guy.  Of course, that usually means the kids get involved,  which means I ultimately become part of the swarm, too; along with the two dogs and the cat.  When the chaos becomes unbearable, I like to disappear inside, enjoy the peace and quiet, and mix up a pitcher of good old fashioned lemonade.  It gives me a chance to think, and when I bring it outside to the family, they get a chance to re-group.  My husband prefers my traditional homemade recipe for lemonade because it reminds him of when he was a kid.  I like it because I control the sugar!

When you’re looking for cheap drink recipes, you can hardly beat traditional lemonade.  Depending on what part of the country you live in, lemon juice in a bottle may be less expensive than real lemons.  What I like to do is go ahead and use the bottled juice, but cut up one lemon in slices and put those in the pitcher.  The slices actually do add flavor, but I really do it for the look.  It’s just so pretty!
