Delilah's Recipes: Strawberry Lemonade

Hey, everyone! This is Delilah here from Mel's book, Delilah's Downfall. In case you didn't know, I am a chef. Well, more like a glorified cook now that I work at the Bartlett Ranch, but I am loving it. There is something so satifying about cooking for four men.

Anyway, this week, Mel asked me to share my favorite recipes with you all. These are recipes I have picked up throughout the years and adapted them to my own tastes. I hope you enjoy them.

Oh, and make sure that you go by Mel's Blog. She is featuring the American cowboy this week.
