We have an ice cream shop in town, Olsen's Ice cream, they are small and pack their own ice cream. We visit it a few time in the summer. They have alot of flavors...
Well it just so happens that I printed out a favorite to make for my son's upcoming third birthday party.
J-ello's Cool & Easy Pie
2/3 C boiling water
1 4 serving package Sugar Free Strawberry J-ello
1/2 C cold water and ice cubes to measure 1 C
1 tub Cool Whip
1 Prepared graham cracker crust
Stir boiling water into J-ello for two minutes to dissolve. Add ice water, stir until thickened and remove any unmelted ice. Whisk in 2 Cups Cool Whip until blended. Refrigerate approx 30 minutes or until mixture is thick and will hold it's shape. Spoon into crust and refrigerate 4 hours before serving. Top off with remaining Cool Whip.
Enjoy. I'll be back later to view your card:-)

BBQ Chicken(anything cooked on the Grill is Great!!) Homemade Beans..
salads!! This is a great recipe!!
Boston Baked Beans
The Way We Cook, by Sheryl Julian and Julie Riven
Serves 10
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups dried white beans, such as Great Northern or navy beans
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
2 thick slices (about 1/2 pound total) flavorful baked ham (such as Westphalian or Black Forest), cust into 1/2-inch dice
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons molasses
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon ground ginger
6 cups water, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
Preparation:
Place the beans in a bowl and cover them with cold water. Set them aside to soak overnight, or for at least 8 hours.
Se the oven to 300 degrees.
Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole (I made due with a regular pot) and cook the onions over medium heat, stirring often, for 10 minutes, or until they soften.
Drain the beans and add them to the onions. Add the ham, brown sugar, molasses, maple syrup, tomato paste, mustard, ginger, and 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil and cover the pan.
Bake for 4 hours, checking the beans every hour, stirring, and adding more water to the pan, 1/4 cup at a time, if they seem dry. Add the salt and pepper. Let the beans settle for 15 minutes before serving, or let them cool to room temperature and refrigerate until ready to use.
To store and reheat the beans: Cover the pan and regrigerate the beans for up to 5 days. Set the pan over medium heat and stir the beans. If they have absorbed all their liquid, add water, 1/4 cup at a time, until the beans are a consistency you like. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often, until they are very hot....ENJOY!!!

My favorite summertime food is grilled shrimp. I buy the largest shrimp I can get (preferable NC shrimp) and then shell and devein it. I mix up olive oil, basil, lemon juice and garlic in a bag and marinate the shrimp for an hour and then throw it on the grill and grill it until it turns pink. My husband says it is the best shrimp he has ever eaten. I have some ready in our camper for our next trip. Thanks for the chance to win (and I enjoy the recipes too!!)

ice cream! I love ice cream anytime, but I feel more justified in the summer cause it's hot out and I need to keep cool, right? ;D
Smoothies are definitely my favorite from spring thru fall....but in the summers we always have a ton of bbq's and with them we love yummy potatoes.
Super easy, cheap and well, yummy!
6 potatos shredded (or one bag of frozen shredded potatos)
1 can cream of celery soup
12 oz shredded cheddar cheese (medium works well for this)
8 oz of sour cream
1 onion chopped
2 cloves of garlic roughly chopped
butter.
Take the onions, garlic and a tablespoon of butter and saute them in a pan until they are golden brown.
Place them in a large bowl and add all the other ingredients reserving 2-3 Tbsp of shredded cheese.
Grease a large baking dish 9x11 or two smaller ones. Add the mixture and place aluminum foil over it.
Bake for 1 hour at 325 degrees.
Uncover and sprinkle remaining cheese and bake for an additional 10 minutes. The top cheese turns golden brown and leaves a nice crispy crust!!
My favorite summer food is anything BBQ'ed. It is always nice to cook outside and I love that it is less clean-up inside. I also love watermelon and ice cream is a must in the summer. Thanks for the chance to win.
My family loves to cook on the grill in the summer! I love to marinade meat during the day and when I come home from work, fire up the grill and cook the meat and some veggies and wallah...you have a great meal! A quick veggie recipe is: Spray dull side of alum. foil w/Pam and slice thinly potatoes in the foil. Add slivers of butter and a little seasoning (your choice) and wrap up tight and throw on the grill for about 30minutes and you have wonderful, easy potatoes!
My favorite would be a Harry's Concrete! It is homemade custard with whatever you want mixed in. My favorite is Mint Chocolate Chip with Oreo's mixed in!! It is so YUMMY!!
Lori
My favorite summertime food is fresh homegrown tomatoes. And I have two favorite ways to eat them:
Fried red tomatoes with cheese melted on top (almost like pizza)
or just sliced, sprinkled with salt & pepper and thrown between two slices of fresh white bread.
YUMMY!!! Now I'm wishing we hadn't gotten our tomato plants in so late. I grew up on a farm where the standard was fresh tomatoes by the 4th of July.
My favorite summertime food is BBQ's and S'mores. Especially S'mores. My dad has a fire pit in his back yard and it is fun to go over there and have S'mores!!
This summer we have been BBQing like crazy. We found this recipe for the Neely's BBQ sauce and it is delish. http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_116792,00.html I've also been making Paula Deen's Lemon Dill New Potatoes and they are so easy and yummalicious!!!
http://www.smithfield.com/recipes/recipe/lemon-dill-new-potatoes Oh and it's not a well rounded meal without dessert :) My husband loves to make key lime pie. This is the recipe he uses:

There are SO many wonderful summertime foods I enjoy, but my absolute favorite is peaches! I love them in any form, but here is a great recipe from The Barefoot Contessa:
Peach and Raspberry Crisp
4 to 5 lbs peaches (10 - 12 large)
zest of 1 orange
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 cups plus 2 to 3 T flour
1/2 pint raspberries
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
1/2 pound cold unsalted butter, diced
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Butter the inside of a 10 x 15 x 2-1/2 inch oval baking dish.Peel peaches and slice them into thick wedges in a large bowl. Add the orange zest, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of flour. Toss well. Gently mix in the raspberries. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes. If there is a lot of liquid, add 1 more tablespoon of flour. Pour the peaches into the baking dish and gently smooth top. Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, salt, oatmeal, and the cold, diced butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until the butter is pea-sized and the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle evenly on top of the peaches and raspberries. Bake for 1 hour, until the top is browned and crisp and the juices are bubbly. Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator and reheat in a 350 degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until warm.

Cheese Ring
An appetizer cheese spread with pecans
accompanied with strawberry jam.
Ingredients:
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 3-ounce package cream cheese
1 cup chopped pecans
1 small onion, grated
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic salt
dash of cayenne pepper
1 (8 oz) jar strawberry jam
Directions:
Combine all ingredients except preserves
in a food processor. Mix and refrigerate for
2 hours. Scoop mixture onto a platter. Use
your hands to mold mixture into a ring (I suggest
a sheet of wax paper between your hands and the

Fresh blueberry pie! I live only about 10 minutes away from blueberry farms where you can pick them and actually afford to buy lots (because you NEED lots for this pie)! Anyway, you can use either a baked pie shell or a cracker crumb one....you fill it with fresh blueberries (1 pint (at least!)). Then combine 1 tbs flour (or corn starch), 1 tbs lemon juice and 1/2 cup sugar. Mix it with another pint of fresh blueberries, then put them in a pan and cook until the berries pop and create a sauce, stirring often! Then pour this Over the pie filled with fresh blueberries. Let cool and set, and serve smothered with freshly- whipped whipping cream! YUMMYYY! It is the best-darned summer pie EVER!
my fav sumertime food is grilled bell peppers marinated in caribbean jerk sauce. OH MY! It's like candy!!
My favorite summer good is a good ol' fashion icees!
Fun, fun, fun! My favorite summertime food is watermelon and corn on the cob. A weird combo I know. . .but when I was a kid, we stayed at my grandparents house for a time and when it was really hot, we'd have those two things and eat in the basement where it was cool. And it brings back good memories! So to this day, watermelon and corn on the cob scream "summertime" to me!
I love watermelon! It's my favorite summer food and having it around sure makes it feel like summer.
My favorite summer food is beer brats (boil brats in beer & onions, then grill to brown) with fresh sweet corn on the side. :)

My favorite summer food is my homemade salsa. I guess it can be a year round thing if you use store bought tomatoes but I like using my fresh grown ones. I just cut up tomatoes, green/red peppers, onion, hot peppers and garlic. I add vinegar & salt and you are ready to munch.
My husbands grandma makes a mean potato salad. We just had it on the fourth and it was oh so yummy!

Birthday Stamps - WooHoo!!!!!
I just made up a batch of my favorite summer time treat :-) I tried for many years to like guacamole, but just couldn't stomach the straight avocado taste. Last summer we were at my brother's for vacation and he made up a batch that knocked my socks off. I finally realized as long as it has *stuff* and I mean lots of *stuff* in it, I love it!!! It's now a summer staple in our house :-)
4 Avocadoes - keep the pits
2 Roma Tomatoes
2 Green Onions
1 Clove Garlic
1 Jalepeno, seeds optional
8-10 sprigs fresh Cilantro
1/2 Cup corn
Dash of Salt
1 Tbsp Lime Juice
Ingredient quantities can be adjusted to taste :-) Fork mash the avocadoes. Finely chop tomatoes, onions, garlic, cilantro and jalepeno. Mix them together with remaining ingredients. Put the pits in the bowl after it's mixed - they will keep the guac from turning brown! Let the flavors mingle for several hours or over night for best taste!
S'mores are it for me!
My favourite summertime food is Spinach salad...Strawberry Spinach or Classic Spinach. Other favourites include fresh fruit, burgers on the BBQ and grilled vegetable salads. Yum!
Had to be watermelon!
My favorite summertime treat is fruit. I love to make a large fruit salad with strawberries, grapes etc. The more the merrier. Summer fruit is almost better than chocolate.
My favorite summertime food is summer fruit - peaches, strawberries, blueberries - even bananas on shortcake - the biscuit kind, homemade!
Summertime food....yummmmmmm
Just some of my favs - fresh corn on the cob and tomatoes right off the vine.
Ooh - recipes to read - YUM!
Summertime means BBQ - so anything BBQ'd - YUM!
I love to do steak tips. I buy sirloin tips and cut them and remove as much fat as possible. I use BUTCHER BLOCK TERYAKI sauce - it is AMAZING. Marinate the steak in that for 5 hours and grill - DEEEEELISH!
Fresh corn, grilled, boiled however I can get it. Instead of the traditional butter, I like mayonaise on mine. What a delicious flavor and I really don't like mayo. But on corn, OH My!.
Stacy M.
My favorite summer time food is watermelon.
It has to be strawberry pie! YUMMY!
i love potato salad and a good ol' fashioned picnic. :)
Okay, My favorite summertime food is buffalo wings!!!!! I like a little heat in my summer.
As for a recipe, everyone dies over my really simple chili dip.
2 cans of Hormel Chili
4/8 oz. of Cream Cheese
Nacho Cheese
Take a microwavable dish and put the cream cheese, then pile on the chili and lastly the nacho cheese.
Heat in the microwave for 2 minutes. Then stir it up to melt everything together. Then microwave for 1 minute more and serve with nacho chips on the side. Everyone loves it. It doesn't look pretty but it taste great.
Vanessa

I love an ice cold slice with a little salt on top. That and a glass of ice tea and a nice breeze....and I'm set.
I love fresh fruit.

Berries! Peaches, plums, nectarines. Okay, fine, just summer fruit. I love produce "in season". Yummy!
Fair or Festival Food - we live in a small town and all the towns around here have some kind of Fair or Festival in the summer. You know the kind of food I'm talking about - corn dogs, elephant ears, bloomin onions, funnel cakes - just to name a few.
Anything cold! Watermelon, ice cream (especially drumsticks), shaved ice... Thanks for the chance to win the blog candy!!
My favorite food in the summertime is Key Lime Pie- yum! If you follow the recipe on the lime juice bottle, it only requires 4 ingredients (juice, eggs, graham cracker crust, and whipping cream) and 15 min to bake. Super simple, but people think you are a genius!
Thanks for the chance to win!

My fav summertime food is my DH's BBQ'ing and my MIL's macaroni salad. Since she can't stand to have pickles or relish in it either, she puts a little bit of sugar in it instead. Yummy!

Happy Birthday to LAD.

Strawberry Pretzel Jello Dessert
2 C. Sugar
1 C. Melted Butter, unsalted
1 8oz. Package Cream Cheese, softened
4 C. Pretzel Sticks, broken into small bite-sized pieces
1 16oz. Container Cool Whip
1 Package Wild Strawberry Jell-O
1 Container or Package of Frozen Strawberries
First Layer:
Add 1 C sugar and melted butter to broken pretzels and mix until pretzels are coated. Place in 9 x 13” pan and bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Cool until completely chilled so it does not melt the second layer (I place in refrigerator).
Second Layer: Mix 1 C sugar, cream cheese, and cool whip. Spread evenly over pretzels and place back in refrigerator while preparing next layer.
Third Layer: Mix jell-o with hot water as package directs. OMIT cold water and add frozen strawberries. Carefully pour over cream cheese mixture, use caution because it may spill everywhere. Chill in refrigerator until jell-o is set. Cut into 3x3” squares.
It's barbq!

Oh, I love candy (esp. "blog" candy), but my very fav summertime treat is watermelon! It's not only so cold & good, but it reminds me of growing up in Iowa and having a wonderful watermelon farm nearby! I like to eat mine down into the light green part of the rind!!!
Does a double scoop of Butterfinger icecream on a sugar cone count as 'food'?? That has been my craving this summer. A craving that my kids and I have given in to quite a bit!
My favorite summertime food is the awesome fresh varieties of fruit that are available- especially the melons and fresh peaches! No need for a recipe, I guess! Thanks for this awesome opportunity for blog candy. LAD is one of my favs!!!!!

BBQ'd veggies with Renee's feta dressing. Zucchini's, red and orange peppers, mushrooms, sweet onion, little potatoes with dressing all over. Wrap in tinfoil and bbq until potatoes and veggies are soft, but not too soft. I am off to vacation this coming Sat. and it's on the list of meals for the week.

Hi Cammie!
I'm excited about LAD's birthday! No recipe required for my fave summer treat...it's ICE CREAM!! Not that I only eat it in the summer, but here in New England we enjoy making it an event. Taking a ride to a favorite (or new to us) place where we can order ice cream at a take-out window and savor it on a summer evening is all part of the fun!
my summer fav is definitely key lime pie - YUM!!
Umm without a doubt HOT DOGS!!
