    Summer Recipes

    Long time, no see!

    I've been crazy busy with life, conference fun and vacation antics. Life is never dull around here.

    I am getting ready to head off to the Eat Write Retreat conference this weekend. We just got back from Florida where I did Food Blog Forum conference then extended our stay for some family fun. So needless to say I'm exhausted. But spending some time in the Florida sun made me super happy summer is heading our way. So I thought I'd share my favourite summer recipes with you today.

    Enjoy!

      All good ones. But that pink lemonade ice caught my eye. Maybe I've been looking at (eating) to much chocolate lately!

      Yes, while you've been jetting around the world to exotic locations, we've all been here faithfully waiting for another post. Nice of you to drop in and say hello to all the little people. 😀 Great roundup of goodies here - thanks.

        Bah ha ha, I can't stop laughing John. That was so priceless. I love it. I promise I won't forget you when I'm rich and famous. Like I'll ever be rich or famous...but it's a good dream.

        We had so much fun in Florida. I'm now getting ready for my trip to Philly and quite honestly I feel like just staying home in bed for the weekend. I'll be glad when all the travelling is over and life is mellow again. My tummy can't take all these trips. But it will be exciting to learn at EWR and meet some new bloggers. I just hope it's uneventful health wise.
