What are you stocking up on for summer? I hope I gave you some ideas, but feel free to let me know what I missed! ⬇⬇⬇
When it's really hot and humid here in New Jersey, I find myself eating a cold bowl of cereal for dinner too!
I have been doing the same thing with cereal for years! I love doing this with frosted flakes and corn flakes and shredded wheat that is sweetend and nonsweetened!
I think my favourite food thing about summer is pasta salad. I'm on the lookout for some new recipes and your channel is helping with that — thank you! 🙂 And also, my summer would not be complete without the occasional gin & tonic — yum. Maybe that's not a treat for your kiddos though! 🙂
We have a favorite summer dish we love. Dice 2 cucumber, 2 tomatoes, 1 onion in a bowl, add wishbone zesty robust Italian dressing. Mix well. Sometimes we add diced ham. Its a family favorite.
Watermelon, trail mix and bars are major in cali
Great ideas!
Jello, pasta salad, 8 layer dip, anything that I can make I one pot is my bestie over summer.
In the winter I make my jello with all hot water! It makes a great drink on a cold winter day!
This was really helpful thank you! I have 4 kids we need all the help we can get!
Frozen grapes.
Homemade fruit popsicles.
Rice cakes w/ peanut butter.
Cool Whip w/ Strawberries.
Smoothies.
Great ideas mindy..I keep tomatoes, cucumbers, salad items on hand as well as some cold cut items and crackers and such, for a cool light meal..
I LOVE those applesauce packets with the probiotics from Thrive Market. They got me through my morning sickness with both pregnancies and I love that you can re-close them after opening. They'll be great for road trips with the kids once they're a little bigger.
Cucumber salad, broccoli salad, watermelon, jellies salads (try the tropical salad), pasta salad, different kinds of dips( we use on burgers, tacos, chicken, chips). Anything from a farmers market!! Happy summer
summer time!!! yay! any little debbie snack! any in season fresh fruit (melons, berries, peaches, plums, etc.) or veggies (bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. with ranch or onion dip), babybel cheese or any individual cheese or I will slice or cube up a cheese block (especially helpful when the 2lb cheese blocks are on sale), graham crackers and frosting, jello cups (make in small cup for more servings), any charcuterie items like pepperoni or deli meat slices, nuts and dried fruits, yogurt tubes (refrigerated or frozen), any popsicle. I personally try to minimize sodas, but will keep gatorade on hand.
My summer go tos are anything I can grill or crockpot… but when the gsrden is bumping…we made the "tik tok pasta" every week last year! Lol cream cheese, feta cheese, and boursin cheese alllllll work well too@
Chix nug fave at our house… simple orange chicken sauce…50/50 blend of bbq and orange marmalade (add cayenne or chilies pepper if you like heat…we dont) air fry your Dino nuggets! And coat wirh sauce, serve over steamed rice… my kids LOVE IT… the dinosaurs make it taste better! Lol or we make the KFC bowls with chicken nuggets, dry instant mashed taters, corn, cheese and gravy… both are a hit when mom isn't feeling up to snuff to Fook a whole full from scratch meal
Muffin mix with sausage crumbles in it. Yum!!!!
Chilled applesauce with grahams is always a welcome refreshing dessert for summer heat in our household.
great suggestions! I'd love to see any suggestions you have about road trip snacks/meals.
Mi day, you are probably the most creative out of the box thinking mom out there. You don't just have run of the mill ideas. I'm from Pakistan with super hot dry weather and a toddler to feed and I get amazing ideas from you.
Crackers, oatmeal and sweet tea are a few of our must haves 😁
How about Rice Crispy treats? Many ways to spruce them up…
Also, Ritz crackers with peanut butter or flavored cream cheese!
Thank you for the video!
When my watermelon isn’t sweet, I learned that cutting the melon and letting it in the fridge brings out sweetness.Texture is sacrificed so,when you don’t have the gift of picking a good watermelon, you have to make tough choices 😆
Lots of great ideas! I have been on a real graham cracker kick lately and I'm a grown up of 60 years old so I enjoy a nice cold glass of milk and some graham crackers as an evening snack after dinner. I like your idea of making the graham cracker pho ice cream sandwiches. That looks like something pretty easy to do. I also appreciate your alternative ideas for sandwiches. I have been into wraps recently but I like your idea of the crescent rolls. I use my toaster oven rather than my big oven since I'm usually just making something for myself and I don't need to heat up the whole oven that way. Unless it's the middle of winter here in Nebraska and it's freezing in sometimes it's nice to have the big oven on. Thanks Mindy I hope you guys have a great summer and I'm praying for Tulsa after the terrible tragedy at the medical center earlier this week. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Lots of good ideas. Thank you!
