Stephanie, the girl behind Dessert Before Dinner has made some of the most exceptional dishes. I am particularly interested in making these Ebelskiver!

I could get lost, scrolling through Stephanie’s blog. It is enticing and delightful. Needless to say, I was thrilled to have been assigned her site for this month’s Secret Recipe Club.

With the temperatures heating up, I was drawn to this refreshing Strawberry Basil Lemonade. It is a beautiful concoction that boasts of earthy influences and subtle sweet notes- a perfect treat after working in the garden.

    So happy to hear you enjoyed this drink. It is very refreshing in the summer time and perfect if you have too much basil in your garden. Wonderful SRC post and thank you for the kind words.

    Really want to try this! I was surprised when I read the recipe that the strawberries and basil are not in the lemonade, just served on the side....interesting!

    Okay, so I'm the jerk who got you this month and did not post on time! I am so, so sorry. It'll be posted next Monday with Group D. I'm a loser who can't count her Mondays (I had it in my head that I needed to post next monday). I loved your blog and I hope that when you eventually see what I posted you'll forgive me just a tiny bit. I love basil in lemonade (and limeades too). This would be so refreshing, do the two basil leaves get blended with the ice, lemon juice and simple syrup? I bet this would be delish with some vodka in it also ;-)
