National Ice Cream Month

JULY
ummm YUM!!

Who doesnt love ice cream?

And AGAIN perfect for hot summer days.

I saw on pinterest how to make ice cream out of just a banana... so it is probably going to taste amazing, be healthy, and stop your ice cream craving. (We WILL be making this)

There are also endless crafts to do with ice cream or the thought of ice cream.

Just a simple coloring book page of an ice cream cone is fun.
Making ice cream clowns (I will post pictures of this)
Making your own ice cream sandwiches (YUMMMMMY)


I think if would be fun to have a cute little ice cream party where there are a couple different types of ice cream flavors and tons a different toppings (like different colored sprinkles, brown sprinkles, marshmellows, marshmellow fluff, nuts, cherries, fruit, whipped cream, gummy bears, nerds, any kind of candy) then each kid can be as creative as they want with their OWN dessert.

Side note: How to make sure you spell dessert (ice cream) and desert (dry sandy place) the correct ways is thinking what would you want more of? Obviously dessert (ice cream) right? So it has an extra S. You want more? It has more letters.
HAHAHAHA I'm a dork.

National Hotdog Month

JULY
I JUST said this about the beans, but how perfect is it that National Hotdog Month falls in the summer?

This is perfect for BBQs and bonfires.

We will defineitly be having backyard bonfires in our fire pit so I will for sure post pictures.

There isn't much to do with hotdogs.. except eat them.

haha

You can-
Put them in mac and cheese
Just a bun
String uncooked noodles through and cook that way (I will post pictures of us doing this)
Deep fry your own corndogs
Chili dogs!
Pigs in a blanket (We will post pictures of this, too)

Do you have any fun things to do with hotdogs?
Perhaps a craft?

National Baked Bean Month

JULY
How perfect is it that July, a summer month, is National Baked Bean Month?
Perfect for BBQs

I am pro easy things.. so for me baked beans in a can is that way to go.

hahahaha

BUT I will try to make my own.. Who knows? Maybe they will be delicious and I will never want to go back.

Does anyone have a kick ass recipe that will make it worth making my own baked beans?
Do you think the work put into soaking and cooking is worth it or canned is just as good?

National Blueberry Month

JULY
The whole month is national blueberry month!

I think blueberries are a little weird.. just because they look like kiwis inside.

BUT
I like blueberry pancakes and blueberry muffins, so before july is over I WILL make atleast those.
PLUS I wanna make blueberry scones.




If you have a good recipe for any of these or anything else with blueberries PLEASE let me know :)

(UPDATE: I have kind of a failed attempt at blueberry pancakes that I will be putting up soon along side an awesome attempt)
