Refreshing Frozen Pies

I’m re-posting a recipe today from many years ago, simply because these pies are perfect for summer meals! They’ve gotten hidden in my blog, so I wanted to share once again and make sure they’re listed on my recipe page as well. Enjoy!

Summer days call for cool treats, and one of my favorite things to serve (and eat!) is a frozen pie. They don’t cause the kitchen to get heated up, and they’re so refreshing to enjoy on a hot day!

The two recipes I’m sharing today are Strawberry and Peanut Butter. They are creamy, cool, and delicious!

Sentimental Anniversary Celebration

With the upcoming of our 45th anniversary on June 20th, we decided that we would try to do something each day of the month of June that would “celebrate us!” Dale’s taking the odd days, and I am taking the even to create a tiny remembrance. These have been very ordinary events, but we’re trying to use our celebrations to reminisce over the early days of our relationship and marriage. It’s been fun – both to create the ideas for each day, and then do them! How about a little peek into a few of our “celebrations” so far?

Yard sale morning!

Roasted Frozen Broccoli

When I’m making a “normal” dinner meal, I always feel stumped about what sides to add. I feel like I often get into the boring routine of green beans, peas and corn. So I love it when I find a new way to make a vegetable like broccoli the star side dish without turning it into a heavy casserole (which I also love!).

This method of cooking frozen broccoli is absolutely brilliant. It turns it into a delicious side dish that you’ll be craving. No kidding!

On busy days when you don’t even have time to throw something in the crock pot in the morning, there is a way to a enjoy a delicious dinner within an hour and with minimal effort. Have you ever made a Foil Packet Dinner? The varieties are endless – ground beef, turkey or chicken, kielbasa or fish and the veggies of your liking.

Last week Dale and I went away for some study/prep time and I needed a supper meal that would come together without much fuss. That’s when I decided on a Foil Packet Dinner. It took me about 10 minutes to prep and 45 minutes to bake. There was lots of pay-off for such minimal effort! This was delicious!
