Sweet Summer Treats

Need to whip up a quick treat for a party or a BBQ?
Want something that is not heavy, yet cool and refreshing on a summer day?
Here are two EASY and TASTY desserts great for summer!

Lemon  Pie

1/2 of an 8oz container of Cool Whip
1/2 cup of lemon juice
1 jar of sweetened condensed milk
Pie crust


Mix together the cool whip and milk.


Then add lemon juice, and mix really well. Pour into the pie crust and chill for a couple hours. 

YUM!!


Next up is the Strawberry Jello Salad.

You will need:
16oz cottage cheese
8oz cool whip
1/2 - 3/4 cup of chopped pecans
3oz strawberry jello
Mandarin oranges (I usually use 2 11oz cans of oranges. I only had the 15oz can, plus I had a some more that were already opened so I added them as well.)


Mix together the cool whip, cottage cheese, and strawberry jello. Then add the pecans and oranges. I've also made this with crushed pineapple. I kind of like it better without the pineapple!

Let chill for a couple hours.




Or you could enjoy a delicious watermelon! What's a hot summer day without some cold juicy watermelon?!? Summers wouldn't be the same without it!

These boys came in after they had been working, as they like to call it. Max had been asking to cut the watermelon, so this was the perfect time. Max was making silly faces while I took his pictures, and some were actual laughs from his silliness. I have no idea what was going on with Carson. He looked like he was getting sleepy, but once the watermelon was gone he was back to 'working'.





Love the watermelon seed on his chest. Haha! :)
