Hot weather food

Cool Thread topic, BTD!!

Literally cool as well, because it's gettin' hot, hot, HOT!

*Popsicles~I love sucking on a Big Stick. Oh yes, and the popsicle version, too.

Oh, and a special shout out to Bomb-pops & Push-up's. In fact, anything ice cream truckable!

*Watermelon~ I'm not usually hip on fruit, but I cannot get enough of watermelon.

*Frozen grapes~ I enjoy these, but haven't had them in forever!

*Caesar Salad~ This is just my favorite. In fact, I just love all salads! Cobb, chopped, nicoise, greek..so many! I go through salad flavor phases, and I'm sprung on Caesar lately.

*Suckies~ Okay, so they are actually called Slurpees, but I've always called them Suckies. 1/2 cherry, 1/2 coke. To me, that is the taste of summer.

I'm a big fan of big salads, too.

One of my favorites right now is a cucumber, tomato or two (depending on size and price), 1/2 a Vadalia (or Walla Walla Sweet, depending on the part of the country you're in), a little FF Feta Crumbles, and FF Italian Dressing. You, of course, could sub full-fat versions of the cheese and dressing, and add some Kalamata's if you're a fan of those.

Also, I like to do a similar salad with pasta and maybe throw some canned Tuna in it.

My George Foreman gets a workout this time of year, too (I don't do the outdoor grilling thing, too much trouble/too hot for one person). Actually, my George Foreman gets a work out most of the year - I hate heating up the house with the oven - it's really bad when you have the oven on and the AC at the same time (like I had to on Easter because I decided I 'needed' a pork roast

)
