Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Lemon Aid
With vodka! And plenty of ice.
Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Pancake Mountain
It's a tossup between lemon ricotta pancakes (topped with lemon curd and powdered sugar) and chocolate chip pancakes with a mountain of whipped cream. Mmmmmmmmm.

Mixed Review: Jell-O No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake
I'm not going to lie, the Oreo No Bake Cheesecake is pretty darn tasty. I make them as cupcakes and they're a nice little treat. But not terribly cheesecake-y.
And that strawberry goop? Heinous.

Mixed Review: Jell-O No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake
I love this feature. I hardly ever use mixes, but I always wonder about them and this totally satisfies my curiosity.
I'd love to see some reviews of falafel mix or those various boxed potato dishes. The former I'd actually buy if it was good; the latter just fascinate me.
Mixed Review: Jell-O No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake
The cheesecake itself is decent, but I've never been a fan of that topping. I do like their peanut butter and chocolate no bake dessert.
Mixed Review: Jell-O No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake
I must say, this is one of the few "dish in a box" things that I love. So sweet, so tasty, so Midwestern. This and Hamburger Helper beef stroganoff might make the most perfect boxed meal.
Mixed Review: Jell-O No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake
After reading all the comments about Sandra Lee from the Food Nazies in the 'Dear Food Network' spot, the last thing I would expect to see on this site, is a review of no bake cheesecake. Just so happens, my wife made me a homemade one last night, and it's so damn tasty. Yum.
Still, I've had these no bake versions, and they aren't that bad at all. Good review.
Mixed Review: Jell-O No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake
@greenbean and @justjoan - I agree with you both. Comments about the value of homemade food or the "lazyness" of using boxed mixes (which have appeared in the past) are not relevant to these posts. Of course homemade versions can be easy and delicious! But the feature isn't about homemade food, or even homemade vs. boxed mixes. She's just reviewing boxed mixes. Let the reviews just be what they are.
On another note: I love reading these reviews every week. They're one of my favorite SE features. I probably will never purchase or use any of these mixes, but I find them enjoyable to read about. Keep up the good work!
Mixed Review: Jell-O No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake
Seriously, @_greenbean, thank you. Why does this happen every time on this column? Is "this is a review of a mix" a particularly complicated concept? Every single time!
Mixed Review: Jell-O No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake
@jennywenny - she wouldn't just whizz up a homemade version because the purpose of this feature is to review boxed mixes. of course, there are always wonderful and easy homemade versions. but lets just have fun and let these reviews just be what they are.

I second @jennywenny 's motion. Processed food? Blech.
Mixed Review: Jell-O No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake
I'm afraid I'm in a bad mood with processed food at the moment, so please excuse me, but I'm a bit confused why you wouldnt just whizz up some graham crackers, mix with melted butter, then top with cream cheese that has been mixed with heavy cream, vanilla and some sugar?

Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Lemon Aid
With lemons!
If I don't have the will to squeeze a few of my own, Newman's Own is OK
Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Lemon Aid
Muddle together sugar and mint. Let sit for a little while, then add in plenty of fresh lemon juice. Mix in water to taste (seltzer water if you're feeling fancy), adjust sweetness/sourness, strain and serve, please!
Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Lemon Aid
Simple syrup, or honey. Lot's of lemon juice. I like tart lemonade!
Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Lemon Aid
Simple syrup squeezed with lots of fresh lime juice, fresh lemon juice (not concentrate or powder!) and filtered tap water. Shaken vigorously with a ridiculous amount of ice, and sometimes raspberry stoli.
Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Lemon Aid
I loves me the lemonade from Hot Dog On A Stick. So good - and freshly beaten lemons taste so good!
Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Lemon Aid
minute maid frozen lemonade and water....ahhh refreshing
Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Lemon Aid
I don't have a juicer, so from the store is usually the way I go. But if I do make it... it should be pretty tart, not too sweet. It's about the lemons, not the sugar.
Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Lemon Aid
lemon juice, simple syrup, ice, and seltzer water.
Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Lemon Aid
Fresh squeezed, simple syrup, pomagrante juice, and soda!
Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Lemon Aid
1 cup of boiling water combined with 1 cup of sugar (to make simple syrup)
Juice from 5 lemons (about 2 cups of juice)
4-5 cups of water depending on how tart you want the lemonade
ice
1/2 - 1 cup of Stoli Blueberry or Jack Daniels (depending on your poison)
Enjoy your summer day
