I have so many great foods that I crave during summer.. like frozen yogurt, ice- cream or of course the classic Smore!
I also love fruit salad that I usually make during the 4th of July, and a great pasta salad that is a hit everytime!
What are some yummy Summertime foods or recipes that you like?

There are these things that Hispanics make that are called “limbers” (I think that’s how they’re spelled LOL) which is a frozen dessert type thing that I haven’t had in years and I have been dying to have. They are made in cups using the same kind of syrup that is used for sno-cones and then frozen. They come in different flavors like peanut butter, milk, cherry, strawberry, mango, grape, coconut, etc. Some of my favorites are the milk and strawberry kind but I am not too picky and will take anyone that is just red no matter the actual flavor haha.
I also had my first sno-cone like last year and I soooo need more in my life 🙂
You know that I love any topic where I can give a shoutout to Martha Stewart!
The fruit and pasta salad sounds great, and so do the Limbers! I have to agree on the ice cream as well – I have a kitchenaid attachment as my ice cream maker that I have used many times – ice cream is always good, but when it is homemade, it is a whole new level. My favorite flavor is Mint chocolate chip and also white chocolate (white chocolate can be hard to find, so I end up making it at home often.)
Another hit is watermelon salad – great when you need to make something that is totally oven or stove free. Literally just chopped watermelon, feta, chopped mint, and blueberries (I buy a whole watermelon on sale, much cheaper in the end over the already chopped kind BTW, as well as our own mint plant.) For a dressing, take a cup of olive oil, a little salt and pepper, and squeeze the juice of about 3 limes, whisk that together and serve over it – trust me, it so good you will add me to your next holiday shopping list haha!
