Hey, everyone! So, with summer quickly approaching, I’m starting to get excited about fresh strawberries and all the yummy things that can be made with them. I have a wild strawberry patch in the woods behind my house and in a few short weeks, they’ll be ready for picking!

If you’re like me, you love a good strawberry pie recipe. This recipe is more than just “good,” it’s AMAZING. You see, unlike so many other strawberry pie recipes that contain a butter crust, this one incorporates a salty pretzel layer of flaky goodness. I love the flavor combination od this dessert, and I’m positive that you will, too!

Summer is just around the corner and with that comes garden fresh vegetables like cucumbers. We typically have an overabundance of cukes here on the farm so naturally, we make lots of creamy cucumber salad! This cool and herby salad is a huge hit as a side dish during dinner or served alone as an entree at lunch. Both young and old always enjoy slapping a healthy helping of this favorite summertime salad on their plate.

One of the best parts of making this dish is that if you’re like us, you’ll have most of these ingredients growing in your backyard. If you have always thought about maintaining a garden but have never done so, now’s the time to take the plunge. Just think of all the amazing cucumber salad you’ll get to have!

Seriously folks, nothing puts a smile on your face like an old-fashioned whoopie pie. However, this recipe puts a twist on the ooey, gooey, cake dessert and uses ice cream instead. Made with mixed berries, the cake portion of the pies are filled with sweet, summer yummies. Once the dessert has been fully constructed, you’re left with two fluffy cakes with a thick slab of ice cream sandwiched between them.

This dessert is truly drool-worthy and makes a great hit during the summer months. We like to eat them any time of the year at our house. Make up a big batch and store them in the freezer to share with friends and family. Of course, you can always stash a few behind the frozen veggies for yourself. You never know when you’ll need some late night snacking reinforcements.

I know I want to give my family the very best ingredients when it comes to the beverages that they put into their bodies as I’m sure you do as well. That’s why it’s time to ditch the commercially processed soft drinks and juices and replace them with homemade herbal goodness. Herbal kool-aid is a fun alternative to traditional store-bought brands that you can make using a few simple ingredients that might be growing in your backyard.

Grab the kiddos and head on outside to collect your herbal kool-aid ingredients or head to your local bulk herb store for everything you need. You’re going to be amazed at how awesome this herb-infused drink tastes. We promise, your little lambs are going to LOVE it. The hibiscus flowers and rose hips give it an added boost of vitamin C and supply a passionate punch of tangy sweetness. Better make two pitchers because homemade herbal kool-aid never lasts long, especially on a hot summer’s day.
