Hot weather food - Page 2

Here is today's hot weather beverage (although it's really not hot here, I'm just exhausted after painting):

frozen watermelon cubes (GREAT ice cube substitute!)
Mango Lime Fiesta juice
Sprite

Mmmmmmmmmmm!

Yummy, that sounds really good! I think I'm going to have to try that.

Do you just freeze watermelon chunks? I happen to have half a watermelon just sitting in the fridge.

Alas, all the watermelons at the grocery here last week had been picked too early. . . (The price is finally getting in the "reasonable" range, though.)

What is "Mango Lime Fiesta Juice"?

Shave Ice (Rainbow with ice cream and azuki beans) from Matsumoto's in Hale'iwa Hawai'i.

I made Guacamole con Frutas for dinner

1 avacado, diced
1/2 tbsp minced red onion
1 tsp minced serrano chilie
12 black or red grapes, halved
1/2 cup diced peaches or mangos
pomegranate seeds (optional)

lightly mash avacado, onion and chilie in a bowl. mix in grapes and peaches. add salt. garnish with pomegranate seeds. serve with baked chips

The Skinny: 113 calories, per serving (with 10 chips) 6.9 g. fat (1g saturated), 3.9 g. fiber, 14g carbs, 1.7 g protien.

It was delicious and I'll be making it again and again.

We weent out for Tapas for dinner, but I'm going to be making up a pitcher of lime juice, a bit of sugar, fuzzy water, fresh limes and fresh mint very soon. Or, you can use frozen Limeade mixed with fuzzy water and adding lime and mint. I also usse powdered lemonade for this concoction. It's lovely and refreshing.

Yes to just freezing watermelon cubes. And Mango Lime Fiesta is juice product distributed by Dole.

You have started a new trend for me and my son. We are trying frozen watermelon cubes with everything! He thought that was the neatest trick he has ever seen! Plus you can eat it when you're done.
His favorite so far is the Tropicana strawberry kiwi cyclone with watermelon ice cubes.
He thinks you're really cool now. He picked the perfect smiley for you

Thanks for the great idea!

I highly recommend Ben and Jerry's "Jamaican Me Crazy". Pineapple and passion fruit sorbet. Works great on a hot day.

Had a hankering for Mexican food tonight. Blue Agave hit the spot.
