This rosemary-infused watermelon lemonade recipe duplicates my favorite lemonade from a Los Angeles cafe called "Lemonade." I don't like it too sweet, so if you want to add more sugar, cool. It also makes a great martini served in a sugar-rimmed glass with a watermelon wedge and a twist of lemon garnish. Simply fabulous!

Asian Potato Salad
This Asian potato salad is a unique combination of the usual potato salad ingredients (potatoes, bacon, onions, and mayonnaise) with a few special additions (bok choy, soy sauce, and sesame oil).
Blueberry-Almond French Toast Bake
Great breakfast to feed a group and loaded with protein and whole grains! Make ahead the night before, then pop in the oven before everyone gets up. I made this French toast bake for our group during a winter weekend of snowboarding. I just wish I had made two batches. It went fast! Serve with extra maple syrup and sausage on the side for a heartier meal.
French Fried Potatoes
The best potatoes for French fries are soaked in a sugar solution before frying. The sugar solution has something to do with the carbohydrates and prevents the potatoes from soaking up a lot of grease, so they get crunchy.
