Did you know it’s National Underwear Day?
I’m not sure what you’re supposed to do with that information, but I thought I’d tell ya anyway.
Luckily for you, National Underwear Day isn’t incorporated into the theme of today’s post. (Unless you want to make some Fruit of the Loom connection. But that’s a stretch.) Instead, the post highlights a few of my favorite summer-fruit recipes. Such as:
Also known as the fattest pancakes ever. The recipe works with strawberries, too.
So healthy you can have two bowls. For breakfast. Or maybe even dinner.
Recommended for parties or school lunches. Yeah, school lunches. Summer can’t last forever.
This is even more delicious if you substitute honeydew for the watermelon!
Also known as the “love potion.”
Single-Serving Strawberry Shortcakes
I think strawberries are one of the prettiest summer fruits. Especially when they’re chocolate-covered strawberries. Just thought I’d throw that out there.
Question of the Day:
What are your favorite summer fruits?
Blueberries? Raspberries? Honeydew?
New Larabar Flavor Alert!!
Has anyone seen the Chocolate-Chip Cherry Torte Larabars yet? Giveaway coming soon ;).
My favorite summer fruits are BLUEBERRIES! I love them so,so much! But they’re so expensive in Germany… 🙁
Haha, nice! I mean, kudos to you for making that Fruit of the Loom connection. XD Took me a second to get it… I definitely would have never thought of that. But hey! At least you managed to make a connection between fruity recipes and National Underwear Day!
Favourite summer fruit are, as many other people have already said, blueberries! I think my summer fruit preference is a bit like: blueberries > raspberries > blackberries > [strawberries – I’ve heard they’re a spring fruit though?] > cherries. I don’t like other stone fruits, though; no peaches, plums, apricots, or nectarines for me, thank you.
That picture of those blueberry pancakes always makes me drool a bit… I swear it’s one of your best food-photos. Actually made me stop and regret not having those for breakfast!
You are the sweetest, Jenny!
(Well, maybe you and blueberries… :))
Blueberries, for sure. Especially the ones we pick ourselves!
often i eat breakfast in my underwear. so i’ll make that connection. 🙂
I think this has got to be one of the funniest comments ever left on my blog!
Watermelon is definitely my favorite.
I love it when new Larabar flavors come out! Because I’m always hoping for another almond-free option. Too many of their bars sound like they’d be awesome flavors, but they have almonds and I can’t tolerate them.
I love all your recipes. I made blueberry pie pancakes the day of my boyfriend’s graduation which was good because they were delicious and filled me up until we ate again about 7 hours later.
I love all summer fruits. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, watermelon, mango…
Blueberries, raspberries & strawberries are all great – even more so when they are my home grown ones! I am a huge gooseberry fan too though when they are at the end of the season and very ripe & squishy & sweet. I do love a watermelon in the summer too, in fact i wish i had one in the house as i really fancied it on a salad for dinner tonight, sadly i finished it for breakfast yesterday morning as it was getting a little mushy.
How i wish you larabar giveaway was going to extend to the UK, however somehow i doubt it will. Anyone know where i can get hold of a larabar in England?
🙁 Does Amazon ship to England?
possibly, trouble is i just want to pick up one bar to start with. I have no will power & would probably devour a box of them in a week!
Right now I’m into peaches. It changes week to week though because I tend to outdo it on a certain fruit each week haha! I haven’t seen that new flavor yet but I’m intrigued!
I can´t choose a favorite summer fruit! When I have strawberries at home, I will go for strawberries. But when I have melon, I vote that and same goes for all the other fruits (except pears and papayas ;))!
My favorite Summer fruits are berries and peaches! Lately I’ve been especially in love with peaches though. I eat one every day after lunch! 🙂
Oh cool another larabar flavor! I wish they sent it out everywhere faster though, because I only saw blueberry muffin for the first time about a week or so ago. I can never find the new larabars when they come back. I’m going to try your brownie batter dip this weekend I think 🙂
Eh you’re not missing much. I didn’t like the blueberry one anyways… it was missing a key ingredient: chocolate!! 😉
My favourite summer fruits are cantaloupe, lychees and oh my god MANGO. On a hot summer day/ night ( for dessert of course!) nothing tops the sweet nectar of a very ripe mango– so messy yet too too good! Funny how I loathed mango for years and now I adore it.
Woah. I just read the above comments and someone else wrote their love for mangos as well, “Nothing beats a nice ripe, sweet, and juicy mango on a hot day.” In regards to my comment, which shares a similar sentence, I have to say that I didn’t copy! I just wanted to clarify that.
Oh lol you are way too cute!
I guess if two people said it, it MUST be true!
I will never be able to choose my fave summer fruit, I love them all! Seriously, berries, melon, stone fruits… oh yummm 🙂 I heart summer time!
Raspberries & blackberries! I like my berries as seedy as possible 😛
WAHTHTH NEW LARABARS?S?S?S?S?S LOVE! i love those crumble bars.. YUM-O!
my fav summer fruit.. watermelon or peaches!
