May 31 Homemade Lilac Lemonade – A Refreshing Floral Drink for Spring and Summer

The Charm of Lilacs in Full Bloom

In Quebec, late May and early June bring a fleeting, fragrant miracle: the bloom of lilacs. These old-fashioned flowers, often found lining driveways, backyards, and parks, burst open in clusters of lavender, pink, or white. Their sweet scent is unmistakable — nostalgic, calming, and powerful enough to evoke memories with a single breath.

And what better way to preserve this joy than by capturing it in a glass? Lilac lemonade is not only beautiful and refreshing, but it also brings that delicate floral aroma into the kitchen. With just a few ingredients and a handful of blossoms, you can toast the season in the most delicious way.

Marinating meat makes a huge difference when grilling or broiling! A good marinade not only tenderizes the meat but also allows you to use more affordable cuts without compromising on flavor.

I love using large Ziploc bags for marinating because it lets me massage the marinade into the meat while also reducing dishes. I also feel that removing the air from the bag helps the flavors penetrate the meat even better—who knows!

I like having this mix because it saves me so much time. I use it on fried eggs, hamburger patties, all my meats and when I sauté vegetables. I also love using it when I make breakfast potatoes, or even Greek style potatoes.
