Strawberry Lemonade



It's a sizzling summer here in California. It's time to make lemonade to cool off on hot summer days. Strawberries are in bounty and it pairs well with lemon. Adding bit of salt gives this drink a distinctive taste. This is one of our favorite tangy sweet summer drinks made with fresh organic strawberry, lemon juice and raw sugar, just pure and simple. I love to serve this fantastic drink in a salty sugar rimmed glass.

Black Forest Cake


Black Forest gateau/Black Forest cake, layers of chocolate cake with whipped cream and cherry filling in between and topped with again whipped cream is a luscious dessert to celebrate any occasion. Traditionally cherry flavor bandy "Kirsch" is used. But it can be simply left out because kids would eat that cake. I have been planning to make this cake for a while. But it was not just happening due to my everyday busy schedule. Now we are having wonderful summer break. My little one is very excited to cook and bake with me. Finally we just made it for Father's Day!
