I can't take credit for this Cherry Limeade recipe ('The Pioneer Woman Cooks - Food From My Frontier' can take the credit), but dang...I sure can take credit for making my own!  It is amazingly delicious and a definite must for keeping the ingredients around for the Summer time.  So, without waisting time, here is Ree Drummond's recipe:

1 c. freshly sqeezed lime juice

1 c. sugar

1 2-liter bottle lemon/lime soda

1 5-ounce jar maraschino cherries, with juice

Thin lime slices for garnish (hmmm...I forgot that pretty addition)

I halved the recipe for our supper since we didn't need to drink all of it tonight, but for a crowd, use the whole recipe. 

-Chill ALL ingredients before using

-put lime juice and then sugar in pitcher

-add soda

-pour in jar of cherries and the juice

Pour over ice in a glass and devour.  You will be raving about this goodness all night!

Well...I forgot to take a picture of this amazing Corn Bread before we ate it, but you can tell it is good because all that is left is crumbs.  This is the recipe my Mom has made forever and it continues to be a favorite in our family (well...the kids and I like it.  Jason's not a cornbread fan)

1 1/4 c. flour

3/4 c. yellow cornmeal

1/4 c. sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

1 c. milk

1 egg

1/4 c. canola oil

400 degrees for 20-25 minutes (or when toothpick comes out clean)

Enjoy with butter and syrup...or your choice of topping
