What a great gift basket! Love ice cold lemonade -not too sour, with a good cookie! Have happy memories of our childhood lemonade stand -every summer we would try selling at least once! We lived on a busy street, in a big old house with a wrap-around porch -sold to the neighborhood kids and actually thought that the busy traffic would stop and buy -sometimes they did!!
05/31/2011 8:09:52 AM CDT
Sweet tea would have to ne my favorite!

Me and my daughter love summer, and we love making lemonade together. Especially sharing lemonade with the members of our military community in NC. As a young child I also sold lemonade and goodies to neighborhood patroners so it is very nice to carry on that tradition today but with healthy organic ingredients. She would be so very happy if we won this. My husband is gone alot so we spend alot of time together and I try and keep her very busy. My favorite lemonade recipe is using fresh lemons, water, organic sugar and a little bit of mint. It is amazing :O)))) Thank you Whole Foods we love you.
