Each summer, without fail, it seems there are certain foods that I crave all the time! Some of these I have often, while others are only for special occasions. Just thinking about these summer treats has my mouth watering!
There's nothing that I enjoy more than good cheese and crackers! It's one of my favorite snacks all year long! The other night, my family and I had dinner at a restaurant nearby that served a cheese spread as an appetizer along with a dish of things to put the cheese on. It was so good and I've been craving it ever since!
Fruit Pizza

I love having a fruit pizza in the fridge during the summer! Around my house we use kiwi, strawberries, grapes, and pineapple. The spread is made from cream cheese, along with a few other ingredients and the base is sugar cookie dough. It's like a dessert and an appetizer at the same time!
Punch

Punch
There's nothing better than good punch at a family event. I don't mean Hawaiian Punch or fruit punch, I'm talking about the kind that you make for wedding or baby showers, that still has ice in it. YUM! We usually have it for Easter and Christmas and the flavor changes with the season. Sometimes, we get really lucky and my Mom will make it just because!
Banana Pudding
Vanilla pudding, bananas, Nilla Wafers and whipped cream. What could be better than these things combined into a dish? Yesterday, my Aunt made banana pudding and brought some over to our house to try. So good! I could have eaten the whole thing!
Chocolate Pretzel Sticks
I don't get these little treats very often, but whenever I go to Kilwin's, this is my must-have item! They usually come covered in milk, white or dark chocolate. The dark chocolate is my fave! I've also seen them with sprinkles and other toppings!
Do you have favorite summer foods?
Fruit pizza is such an awesome idea - gonna try that out for sure! Chocolate pretzels are my ultimate downfall - so good!

ReplyDeleteI get food cravings too! Right now I am craving bananas with crunchy PB. It has to be crunchy, creamy just doesn't cut it (odd, I know). And a tall glass of milk to finish it off:-)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE a good punch!!
