From Eden's Kitchen 
What's Cookin' Tonight? 

  • Fresh Lemonade Juice Pops
  • Roasted Sweet Onions, Yams &
  • Russet Potatoes
  • with a Fresh Garden Salad



Are your lips puckered yet? Can you smell the sweet fragrance from the lemon? I can. 

In fact halfway through loading these pictures I had to go into the kitchen and fill a tall glass full of ice cubes & lemonade - granted it wasn't fresh, it was Santa Cruz Organic Lemonade, but it did quench my thirst & oh how refreshing lemonade can taste on a hot summer day!



So you ask - why are you drinking bottled lemonade with all of these freshly-squeezed lemons abound?



Well, this is from Eden's kitchen, & by the time I got home, Eden had created popsicles. 


She juiced organic carrots & apple in her Jack LaLane Juicer. (Over the years, this juicer has proved most-reliable for our family & the company offers superb customer service.) 


She blended these juices together: carrot, apple & lemon with banana & fresh strawberries. I haven't tasted them yet - I have to be patient & wait until tomorrow!Popsicle




She had also sliced up onions. (I hope she had the fan on - it tends to circulate the air so you don't shed so many tears.) 

And seasoned the sliced russet potatoes & yams, coating the mixture sparingly with a few drizzles of olive oil.  


Then she roasted these root veggies in the oven, varying the temperture from 375 - 450 degrees. 


A fresh garden salad was prepared to create a refreshing summer meal.
