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 ;).
Your pancake recipes are my fave!
However, do you know of any blogs with easy/transportable to college lunch/dinner recipes? I don’t have much to work with for the fall, and can’t really cook at the school =[
Sorry, I actually don’t really read other food blogs very often… I just don’t have time 🙁
Hey Kir – Anne at http://www.fannetasticfood.com has several “5 minute lunch” posts – she’s in grad school right now. Lots of ideas there! And of course, Katie has dessert and snacks covered here 🙂
I love summer fruits so much! It’s hard to choose my favourite…it’s a close call between raspberries and blueberries.
I’ve never had a Larabar as they haven’t made it to Ireland. I’m always reading about them so I’d love to try them!
Those labars are the ones i saw and mentioned in the comments section a while ago!!! SO excited that they are more widespread in stores now!
All those recipes look wonderful!
More like national wedgie day for me!
Also, MUST make your blueberry pancake recipe ASAP!
I am definitely going to make the Peach Breakfast Bake this week using gluten free cereal! It looks amazing!
National Underwear Day. Really? Who came up with that one? Someone with WAY too much time on their hands. I would have done that… if i had any time on my hands. Obviously, i aint the only weirdo in town. Thats good. It gets lonely sometimes.
WATERMELON!
Hi Katie! First of all I’m a huge fan and am BEYOND in love with your site! I go on it every day and follow you on twitter, I get so excited when you have a new post!
Anywayssss, I love your recipes BUT there is a recipe I would love for you to try and makeover? Liz Lovely’s Lovely Oh’s are so delicious! but SOOO sugary! Could you PLEASE show us loyal chocolate lovers how to make them healthier?!
Please and thank you!
I actually… have never liked oreos :(. I know, it’s sad, right? But if you have the book Vegan Cookies take over your Cookie Jar, I know there’s a homemade oreo recipe in there. You could play around with the amount of sugar used. And then you could maybe try dipping them in my sugar-free PMS chocolate to make them even lower in sugar. Edible experiments are seriously fun… because you get to eat all of the trials ;).
Thank you so much! I’ll totally try that!
I’m so excited for your new recipes to come! Thanks so much for being awesome!! (:
i know you will succeed with doing this thing full time!
Aww thank YOU! 🙂
I might have to do an oreo recipe someday… they are my mom’s favorite food. Maybe for Mothers’ Day I should try to make healthier homemade ones!
I looooove fresh peaches, strawberries, cantaloupe, raspberries, kiwi, pineapple (although I’m allergic to those last two!)… should I go on?? Fruit is amazing and especially yummy in the summer, when everything’s in season!
Am I the only person here who doesn’t like Larabars? I’ve tried them a few times now… I don’t like raisins at all, and the date base reminds me a lot of raisins, no matter what flavor the bar is. Oh well, more for you guys! 🙂
Haha no you’re not! I actually don’t like ANY of the fruity ones! Maybe because they are missing a key ingredient… chocolate!
I mean, they don’t taste bad to me… but I wouldn’t choose them for a snack. I only like the chocolate Jocalats and the cookie dough Larabars. But those, I REALLY like :).
Wow, what amazing, fresh, summer treats!! I love strawberries and plums from the market best. 🙂
So much good stuff over here that I missed! Good to be back. 🙂
