Summertime Cool Down Delights

M Pears
Spring is just around the corner as we prepare for spring cleaning cause we know what's next the beautiful hot sun. With the global warming ups and downs we could have temp's up in the triple digits for days so staying cool in the hot sun is a must. A good mid day snack to make is sliced frozen banana's you can get just the normal banana from the super market and when you arrive home cut them into slices and store them in the freezer for later. Once you are ready to eat them sprinkle a little nutmeg on them for a cookies taste and it will be so good and might I add it will cool you off as well.

Now if you not a fruit dessert type of person cause many are not and ice cream is your thing then you will love this. Get your favorite brand of vanilla ice cream and some vanilla wafer cookie chips with a little cool whip on top you always put the cookies at the bottom of a cup first and then you put the ice cream on top of the cookies and repeat this until the cup is filled to the top once the cup is full you put your whip cream on top now how good and simple is that.

If you are more of a relax indoor person then a soda jello would do you great wonders when preparing this always use clear soda such as 7up or sprite or mountain dew the soda of your choice is great as long as it's clear, you would have to prepare this ahead of time because it's made just like the regular jello and it takes time to form in the fridge instead of using the water you will use the soda and you can add cool whip to this as well.

You can have a nice iced drink to cool you off as well this would not be a drink that you could share with your children cause it cause it is made up of alcohol, just a heads up. But it will cool you off in no time it's more of a simple cocktail you can use your favorite brand of chilled liquor and a small amount of sugar to your taste in a glass, and a variety of your choice fruit. Fruits of your choice is good but try to use fruits like strawberries or even peaches are preferred but whatever fruit you like it will still be a blast for you.

Another summer treat is jello cubes you can put them in ice trays this treat is also made just like your regular jello but the only difference is you will use a half cup of hot water and the other half with vodka. This will also not be a kid friendly treat.

This last drink will be the most easy and tasty of them all the American drink and kids love it for some reason not to much in the winter, but in the summer kids will drink it right up. There is nothing like a old time summer favorite beverage no other then cold ice tea with lemons. Whenever there is a hot summer day ice tea with lemons is by far the best drink you can ever have. Remember it has to be homemade not already in a plastic bottle brought from out of the local store it has to be fresh homemade ice tea with lemons. Keep this in mind as the summer approaches.
