What's for dinner?

This is my new favorite easy summer meal. In fact, I am addicted to this menu. So easy and yet so good!

Turkey/Slaw Wrap
Fresh Blueberries and Strawberries with a smidge of splenda
Grilled ( or broiled if it's too hot to grill) zucchini
Peach fizz ice freeze


Turkey/ Slaw Wrap
Take one over sized thin flour tortilla (wal mart brand works fine)
Top with 1/4 to 1/2 cup "coleslaw" salad mix (buy the package it is faster than chopping)
Sprinkle with a two teaspoons of either sunflower kernels or toasted slivered almonds
Add a few teaspoons (just not too much) of any "from the bottle" Cole Slaw dressing ( I used Kraft this week)
Top with a few slices of shaved or #1 sliced turkey lunch meat (got to go with the good stuff from the deli)
Fold bottom over inch and roll ( so all your stuff doesn't fall out)
Enjoy

Peach Fizz Ice Freeze
(This is for a 4 quart ice cream maker)
Puree one 15 oz can on peaches in heavy syrup with one 14 0z can sweetened condensed milk (Eagle brand skim works!)
Pour in a chilled ice cream maker canister with dasher.
Slowly fill canister to fill line with 2 liters 7-Up, Gingerale, or any other clear soda (diet works but might taste "diet" like)
Follow directions on Ice Cream freezer . This is a light, fun and yummy summer dessert!

You can also do this with:
Big Red and strawberries or cherries (or sans fruit!)
Orange Crush and mandarin oranges or crushed pineapple
Root Beer , or Coke, or Dr Pepper and just Eagle Brand. It will taste like a Rootbeer float slushy, sort of! (But if you are not adding fruit don't use the diet drinks or skim eagle brand because it will have a funky after taste.)


Any one else have some favorite EASY summer recipes? If you can even call these recipes! :)

Skim Eagle Brand?! This is just wrong!

I love summertime pie:

One prepared graham cracker crust.
Put a layer of sliced bananas.
Put a layer of vanilla pudding.
Put a layer of stawberries and kiwi.
Top with Cool Whip.
Easy and delish!

Girl! Go you--you eat so healthy!

I also was addicted to wraps when I was pregnant with Malachi.

I really like tomato sandwiches lately . . . :P
