This is a list of recipe recommendations that I've received from a friend of mine :)
Feel free to peruse.
Ingredients
- Costco Brand Chicken Stock
Recipes
Egg Drop Soup
- 1 egg to a cup of liquid
- a little green onion is nice in it
- can add a thickener if you want to, but it doesn't need it
- and I like bok choy in it sometimes
- Some people don't like white pepper
- Even if you smell it, I would really recommend trying it in the soup once. Just put it in a single serving rather than the whole pot.
Sesame Chicken with Broccoli
- This is really easy. Just use a little less honey
Gluten-Free Chocolate chip cookies
You should make these. But with the cranberry orange instead of chocolate. It’s so good
Also, I just use regular sugar with it and salted butter
Blueberry Lemonade
I love making homemade lemonade because it allows me to control the quality and quantity of ingredients.
- Fresh blueberries
- Granulated sugar
- Lemons
- Cold water
This is so simply that you’ll be enjoying a big glass of Blueberry Lemonade in no time!
- First you just dump the blueberries, sugar and 1 cup of water in a blender. Blend this on medium-high speed for about 1 minute or until the blueberries are pureed.
- Next you want to strain the blueberry puree through a fine mesh sieve if you don’t want the small pieces of blueberry in your lemonade. If you don’t mind them skip this step!
-
Pour the blueberry puree in a pitcher and add the lemon juice, stir. Then add the remaining 3 cups of water and you are done!
-
Stir, chill and serve this blueberry lemonade over ice on a hot summer day!
-
Strawberries can be swapped for blueberries to make Strawberry Lemonade
-
Blackberries swapped for the blueberries would be delicious!
-
Taste as you go, you can always add more sugar, lemon juice, or water to make this lemonade exactly how you want it.
-
Swap the sugar for honey.
-
Add a bit of vodka to the mixture to for a spiked lemonade.
Pro Tips!
- You will want to make sure you have a blender to make this lemonade. My favorite blender is this one, but if you are on more of a budget this one is great too!
- I like to serve this in mason jars filled with ice and garnished with lemon slices and blueberries. You could even use frozen blueberries to keep it extra cold.
- Straining the blueberry puree is optional. You can see fleck of blueberries in these photos because I didn’t strain it. It will give you more nutrients and antioxidants if you leave them in, but for a less cloudy final result you can strain it.
- Did you know if you microwave lemons they are easier to squeeze? Just warm them up for a few seconds or make sure they are room temperature.
-
Light, refreshing Blueberry Sangria is perfect for adults to relax with! So easy to make.
-
Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Crescent Rolls are the perfect sweet treat for breakfast or dessert.

-
Place the blueberries, sugar and 1 cup water in a blender. Blend on medium-high speed for about 1 minute, until the blueberries are completely pureed. Strain the blueberry puree through a fine mesh sieve (or skip this step if you don’t mind small pieces of blueberry in your lemonade).

Combine the blueberry puree with lemon juice and the remaining 3 cups of water. Add more water, if desired. Stir well, and chill. Serve over ice.
