Even if Labor Day is the last hurrah for summer, that's no reason to stop fixing fun foods in the kitchen. In fact, the slightly cooler weather makes it even more enjoyable to turn on the stove and cook up something exciting.
If your children are younger, caution them about the exploding bubbles in seltzer water. They'll want to open the bottle carefully (without shaking!) and fill the glasses slowly and carefully. Nobody wants to clean up a Strawberry Lemonade Spritzer Splatter!
Strawberry Lemonade Spritzers A Brookshire's Best Recipe
1 cup strawberries (half a large basket) 2 cups prepared lemonade (Red Diamond brand, Country Time Powdered Mix, or frozen concentrate) 1 cup seltzer water ice
Remove stems from berries. Chop or dice finely. Chill an hour or overnight so that the juices develop. (An alternate method is to use frozen strawberries. Allow them to thaw in the refrigerator overnight, or thaw briefly in the microwave.)
Fill 4 tall glasses with ice. Add 1/4 cup berries, 1/2 cup lemonade and 1/4 cup seltzer water to each. Stir and enjoy!

In other parts of the country, it starts to get chilly around Labor Day. People pull out the warm sweaters and bundle up when they go to high school football games every Friday night. Here in the south, however, we're more likely to be dressed in shorts and guzzling cold drinks to keep from getting dehydrated!
