Summer

For me, Summer has officially begun. Though the actual date is 3 weeks away, Summer for me runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day.  I didn't have my usual Memorial Day party this year for a number of reasons but at least I made typical Memorial Day food.  I made pulled pork sandwiches which everyone loves.  This is an old pic because of course, I forgot to take pics.
 

I made my usual macaroni salad.

And I made a southern pea salad.
 

I made a large jar of homemade caramel sauce to use to make a special dessert.

And I made some patriotic cookies.

These are almond sugar cookies.

This is how I used the caramel sauce.  Caramel banana pudding.

Don't these look delicious?

I topped them with whipped cream and fresh berries.  My daughter said these were the best desserts I've ever made.  I think she says that about everything.

I also made brown sugar, coconut bars and packaged them and sent them off to friends. And so Summer is underway.  My Fall countdown is about to begin!
