Favourite Summer Foods

[Vanilla Bean]

I had more than one choice, but I had to go with the BBQ'd burgers. How can anyone turn down a nice grilled burger?! Then again, I'm with Uncle Bob on the tomato sandwich! That's exactly how I like it, with mayo and juicy. YUM!

Corn on the cob, the day that it's picked!! Nothing like it. Watermelon at room temperature. Berries of all kinds.

I picked the cold plate because year round we have platters of in season fruits...Anti pasto is a staple for us...My son in law, Ethan and I are watermelon junkies we even have two vines growing in and among the grapes.Sunday's here offer up just about every thing you can imagine...I have each one ask for a favorite week to week and we make sure to fix it. One favorite is fried chicken finished in the oven with garlic,wine,rosemary, and butter, add to that potato salad, our platter of fruit, many weeks of roasted corn on the cob, fix all kinds of ways, green salad to boot or a platter of sliced tomatoes, onions and cucumbers...desserts are usually something icy cold and yummy..My favorite dessert? hugs and kisses from my babies

I like salt on my watermelon, apples, canteloupe, grapefruit and lemons (if I dare, they aren't good for teeth or tummy).

They say admitting you have a problem is the first step, lol. It seems I may have a small problem. Oh well.

My favorite summer foods are homegrown tomatoes - taste SO much better than the hothouse variety Just about any fresh/homegrown veggie gets my vote and anything grilled. Also homemade ice cream - you can make it any time of the year but in July it tastes oh so yummy.

I replied BBQ burgers, but I also like shrimp grilled. Another family favorite is beef kabobs.

I had to go for chicken ...

BBQ chicken, potato salad, corn on the cob, fried okra, cornbread, sweet tea, a big dollop of home cranked vanilla ice cream on top of a bowl of hot peach or blackberry cobbler.

Nothing is more sweet then to see a little kid walking around with a chicken leg in their hands..Not far behind them watching and hoping it's accidentally dropped,the dog! happens every summer..
