When I was at a family barbecue with my cousins at their house in La Jolla, they let me pick some fresh citrus. Then, I had an idea. A money making idea: a lemonade stand.
Snip. Snip. Snip. It’s raining lemons!
It’s actually pretty hard work juicing lemons. Even with a citrus juicer.
Thirsty?
Since the goal of my lemonade stand was to make mucho moo’la, I had to find a good cookie recipe. Oh, and do you like the action shot above?
Can you guess whose cookie recipe I used?
They’re the Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies from Jenny at Picky Palate!
I really take pride in my sign making. I only wrote this sign though because I always pour milk for myself in the morning and I always see the no-added stuff on the carton, so I thought that it would be funny to make a lemonade sign for this.
Ghirardelli Brownies are one of my favorites.
This what the stand looked like. We set it up on a busy street and flagged down customers. They usually said “Keep the change!” Not exactly the Taj Mahal of lemonade stands but it worked out great. Our prices were cheap too! $1.00 for a huge cookie, 75 cents for a large brownie, 50 cents for a small brownie, 75 cents for a large lemonade, and 50 cents for a small lemonade.
My lemonade stand turned out great. My friend and I each earned $25.45 and had tons of fun. We were both pretty happy with our earnings too!
And even a kid can make a lemonade stand…. Like Me! 🙂
Fresh Squeezed Lemonade
This is the best lemonade stand I have ever seen and it’s not only because you used my cookies! So glad you guys had a great turn out and a fun time! Love following your adventures in and out of the kitchen!!
Your lemonade looks perfect not to mention those amazing cookies and biscuits! It sounds like it was a lot of fun!
Great Job! My mom always made fresh lemonade when I was growing up, too make it not quite so tart she would use half lemons and half oranges. Usually 3 – 4 of each!
Now don’t spend all your money in one place! LOL!
Wow, great job! You raked in some dough! Really love the sign you made, let’s people know it’s just the good stuff.
A creative and profitable idea! Awesome!
OOOh freshly squeezed!? Now THAT I’d stop for. Well that and those incredible looking cookies. WOW! Great post! I love the sign. I wish we had lemonade stands like this around here.
Now that’s what I call a first class lemonade stand…..a tasty drink (all natural) yummy cookies, and super-fun salesmen. No wonder you sold out! Bravo!
Great Looking Lemonade Stand!
Oh how I wish I could have visited your lemonade stand! Fresh lemonade and delicious treats! Love it!
What a fantastic job you did on with your lemonade stand! I get that lemonade was delicious and those cookies look so good, too!
Wow, lemonade made with lemons right off of the tree! What a success, I would bet you are inspiring kids across the country.
Wow! That lemonade looks good! If I had come down your street, I definitely would have bought a LARGE cup of lemonade . . . and one of those delish brownies! Congratulations on your success!
