Strawberry Lemonade Bars

After a long hot day there is nothing as comforting as sitting down with a tall glass of ice cold lemonade. This is a tradition I remember from my childhood summers spent at my grandparents. Afternoons were always spent on the back porch, sipping lemonade, snacking on a cookie or two, waiting on dinner to cook.

Now as a busy adult living in the 21st century, I rarely get the chance to sit down on the back porch and sip lemonade, but I still have time to grab a quick snack in the afternoons.

Since I cannot always squeeze in time for a relaxing few moments on the porch, I decided to incorporate my childhood memories into this simple to make bar. I also had a few strawberries on hand and decided to add them in too.

Pink Lemonade Pancakes

I have a passion for baking and an obsession for pancakes. I try to turn everything into a new pancake recipe so I can eat it for breakfast. Today's creation follows the trend of pink lemonade cupcakes.

Pink Lemonade Pancakes

1 C All-Purpose Flour

1 tsp Baking Soda

2 tsp Baking Powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 Tbs Malt Powder or 1 Tbs Sugar

3 Tbs Plain Yogurt

1 Egg, beaten

3/4 C Pink Lemonade Concentrate, thawed

In a medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Stir in yogurt, egg, and lemonade concentrate. (Optional: If you want a pinker color, add a drop of red food coloring.) Cook over low-medium heat in a non-stick skillet. Turn when bubbles appear on the surface. Watch these carefully as they brown quickly.
