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!
Kim Beaulieu
Ha, me too. I love that pink ice. It's easy to make and fun to eat.

These recap is an open book to why we love summer so much! Although I'm missing some pasta salad recipe here.. it makes a great lunch box for work!

Thanks so much. I know, I really need more summer pasta recipes. I seem to make the same one over and over.
Aurora Importing
I was looking at our site and we don't have many either... we should put our minds to work together 🙂

Kim Beaulieu
We definitely need to put our heads together on something.
Colette
Love the ice cream recipes! Gotta try the fudge one. OMG
Kim Beaulieu
Thanks Colette. The fudge one is the bomb.

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.
Kim Beaulieu
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.

I feel like I really need to eat all these recipes 😀
But it's winter... OH WELL 😀

So many choices, so few stomachs! I'm so envious of eat write retreat! One of these days maybe I'll win a prize and get to go. 🙂
Kim Beaulieu
Ha, I can't stop laughing Maureen. That was priceless.
EWR was so much fun. We need to get you to a conference soon. I'd love to see you.
Ramona
I wish I could gulp, slurp and scarf all of the above. 🙂
Kim Beaulieu
Ha, that's awesome.
