Tastes of Summer

Summertime gives us an opportunity and excuse to indulge in devious fresh fruits and vegetables as well as foods that we might feel guilty about eating any other time of year.

What were your favorite summertime treats? Ice cream, strawberries, watermelon, s’mores or key lime pie? How about cotton candy at a festival or amusement park?

There are wonderful fruits and vegetables that just taste better in summer. How about corn on the cob, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, onions, cantaloupe, blueberries, cherries, peaches, blackberries, or raspberries.

Summer wouldn’t be summer without coleslaw, potato salad, hamburgers and hot dogs, grilled steak, watermelon, s’mores, peach cobbler, iced tea and lemonade

Indulging in the tastes of summer can bring back fond memories and just make you feel the delight again.
