{Homemade drumsticks}

It’s the first official day of summer, so I pulled together some of my favorite recipes of the season for inspiration. Here’s to sweet treats, bright nails, spontaneous road trips, naps in hammocks, barbecues, and lots of outdoor lounging all summer long.

{Key Lime Tarts}

{Peach Collins}

{Caprese Skewers}

{Nectarine and Blackberry Galette}

{Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches}



{Vanilla Bean Ice Cream}

{Orange Taffy}

{Orange-Lime Margaritas}

{Very Berry Pie}

{Root Beer Float Popsicles}

    All of these treats look uh-mazing! I am not so big into pies, but I will take a bowl of ice cream or a cookie sandwich anyday! I just received an ice cream maker at my bridal shower and can’t wait to try it out! I’m really interested in trying to make healthy fro-yo substitutes!
