Something for Summer!

summer round up

Summer!

Here we are, in the thick of it. I know so! I currently have mosquito bites on my legs, sand in my shoes, and an aggressive and unfortunate short tan.

Whats going on in your kitchen? Its youre anything like me popcorn and wine is totally dinner, and pineapple is its own food group in your fridge.

Heres the deal. I did some digging for you. I want you to cook up some treasures this summer, and I dont want you to have to do a lot of searching to find those gems. Itll be hard enough just to turn on your oven.

The best of summer awaits. Get baking!

May this summer bless you with cute sandals, ice cream cones, awesome hair days, wine for lunch, and Old Bay Seasoning.

Heres whats up:

Rainer Cherry Brown Betty

Rainer Cherry Brown Betty. Its like a bread cobbler, with baked cherries. Does that sound weird. Ok its a little weird. But! Theres sugar in it, so its delicious.

Blackberry Pie Bars

This is the best way to avoid rolling out pie crust: Blackberry Pie Bars. Buttery, shortbread crust topped with fresh blackberries ! and crus ty bits on top. For serious. These are impressive.

How about a homemadeBloody Mary? Shut. It. Up. right?

Ok so it might feel like you have to buy three dozen ingredients to make these little gems, but once you buy them, imagine how many cocktails you can have! Think big!

Apple Pie Granita

Dear Reader,

I totally made apple pie with juice, a spoon, and a freezer. Its calledApple Pie Granita. Its like an apple pie slurpie.

I love you,

Joy

Side Note: if youre going to a local strawberry festival, you dont necessarily have to dress up exactly like a strawberry. Its not a strawberry dress up contest its more of a festival with strawberries. I dunno. You might have been confused like me. Glad I could clear that up for you.

Tres Leches Cake
