(Marci shared this corn and recipe with us during Summer Vacation 2021 - Hayden Lake Chapter!  It was so good!  However, the lake view from Marci's deck might have had something to do with the magic of the moment...)

1/2 tsp Salt

Salad:

8 C Broccoli Flowerets (cut into bite sized pieces)

1 lb of cooked and crumbled Bacon (or one cup prepared bacon pieces)

1 + C Baby Spinach

2 + C Red Seedless Grapes

(I stole the photo and the FLAVORS from Kneaders... but the way it's put together is my combination.  It's a yummy, easy summer salad.)

Brazilian Limonade...

5 Limes

3 C Cold Water

1 C Sugar

1/2 C Sweetened Condensed Milk 

3 additional C Cold water

Remove ends and cut each lime into 8 pieces. In blender - place lime pieces, 3 Cups of cold water and sugar. Gently pulse, do not puree or the flavor can turn bitter.  Pour through a metal strainer, into a pitcher.  Press gently to get additional flavor.  Add the 3 additional Cups of cold water and the sweetened condensed milk.  Mix well.  Serve over ice.
