Summertime Recipes

With cookout season here and our inability to enjoy a nice cold beer or margarita, we might as well enjoy the food, right? So let's share some of our favorite summertime recipes. Here is a good one for an easy (delicious) frozen dessert: 8 oz of cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar, large can of crushed pineapple (drained), 10 oz of frozen strawberries, 2 bananas cut up, 1/2 cup of walnuts (optional), large container of cool whip. Mix it all together and then freeze it in a gelatin mold or any container - I am kind of ghetto so this past time I put most of it back in the cool whip container and then the rest in another plastic container. Serve frozen (or if in a mold, flip it onto a plate and let it be "thawing" as people cut off pieces or scoop off. Super yummy :)

    OOOOHHHH that sounds good. My favorite summer recipe is a dessert too. Its lemon pudding (I like the Jello brand that you don't have to cook.) I fold in a cup or so of fresh whipped cream after its been sweetened and whipped with a mixer, then I put it in the fridge to cool and set. It comes out kind of like a mousse and I top it with fresh raspberries or strawberries and more whipped cream. SO GOOD. When my hostess for my shower asked what I wanted for dessert, I gave her this recipe ;)

    If anyone has a super cheap cheesecake recipe, I'd love to have it!!! I've been searching online all morning! Buying all of the ingredients is more than buying a whole cheesecake from the bakery!

    They have "no bake" mixes in the baking aisle!

    3 cucumbers
    l Lrg bunch of green onions
    4 tomatoes

    Eat with tortilla chips. Also good on a salad, in wraps, with eggs etc.

    This screams summertime to me. I would throw in some bbq'd chicken and call it dinner. I have yet to try it though...

    Heres a no bake cheesecake recipe my mom has always made that I cannot make because I will eat it all! You could always buy a graham cracker premade pie crust to make it even easier.

    I cheated and got out of bed. I made a chocolate meringue pie all from scratch. Haven't tried it yet bc it's still hot! But I've been craving chocolate desserts!

    @Miz_Liz @kelseyrayay You two must have teeth of steel. I ate a piece of watermelon that accidently froze a little in our fridge and I screamed so loud my husband thought my water broke.

    @carleyec93 I let it thaw a little. I couldn't eat it completely rock solid frozen. I love everything cold that's my huge craving.

    Frozen grapes are my favorite. Especially the green ones. I don't know how to link recipes but there was a physical therapist that would always bring in Texas caviar it was delicious. Now I want to make it
