In a cooking rut? Try one of these taste-tested, family-approved recipes using ground beef.

That regular lemonade stand down the street won't stand a chance. Fresh squeezed oranges and lemons make a tart treat. For grownups, gin and a touch of triple sec wouldn't go amiss.

4 cups water
2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup extra fine white sugar (or to taste)
mint sprigs for garnish, optional
Combine the water, lemon juice, and orange juice in a 2-quart pitcher. Mix. Add the sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
Place the pitcher in the refrigerator to chill before serving. Serve in glasses over ice, garnished with mint, if desired.

In a cooking rut? Try one of these taste-tested, family-approved recipes using ground beef.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
