What if you learned that you could make your own version of “ice cream” using JUST ONE INGREDIENT? Just place your frozen bananas in your blender, hit BLEND, and within 1 minute, you’ll have your version of Banana Ice cream. The consistency of your frozen banana treat creamy, rivaling many other ice creams. Blend frozen bananas in mixer until the consistency of creamy ice cream.

When most people think of making a summer dish, soup probably doesn’t immediately come to mind. They’re the most refreshing appetizer to any summer meal and they’re simple to make. After her pinky finger taste tests, when she was satisfied with the taste and consistency of the mixture, she’d pop the finished product in her large round Tupperware container for a few hours to chill and set in the fridge.

In two short weeks both of my kids will fly the coop and nestle themselves in the backwoods of Main for 7 weeks of sleepaway camp. I’m looking to these next few weeks as an opportunity to share quality time and experiences and conversation that are otherwise robbed from us when we’re in the throws of parenthood. For a simple no-bake summer recipe, I adore this black bean power salad recipe I reviewed as part of a recipe exchange a few years back. Clean and rinse 1 bunch of celery- cut off the tops and bottoms and cut each stalk lengthwise and then dice it, combine in the bowl.

We know you want to fire up the grill this weekend and kick-off your summer with a smorgasbord of recipes that will quench your thirst and satiate your hunger. From sangria to salad to burgers, we’ve curated our summer blog favorites from the past six years of My Judy the Foodie. With white wine I like to add light fruits like: pears, Gala apples, and peaches. But, this salad is so light and refreshing, it’s the perfect compliment to any grill of meat or fish.
