Is it just me, or is one of the hardest things to do when making lunch every day for your kids is coming up with new ideas?  I feel like I get in a rut where week after week it’s the same old thing.  That’s the beauty of eMeals.

In case some of you haven’t been watching the national weather, it’s HOT here in Texas!  Since our family seems to get caught up in Murphy’s Law more often than not, it’s really no surprise that not only did it work out that we moved here smack dab in the middle of July, but that there would be a heat wave going on too!  The other day it soared up to temperatures where the heat index hit 108! 

Fisher Nuts asked me to find a simple way to freshen up a summer recipe and take my cuisine to a new level.

So they sent me a cooking with nuts pack so I could create my own summer recipe.  Nothing says summer like s’mores. Am I right?!

BUT, I don’t have a fire pit or chimenea to roast my marshmallows in, AND, I want to not just highlight some Fisher Nuts in these s’mores but make them a bit more “grown up” too…

Hard to believe it’s July 4th already, isn’t it?!  This is one of my favorite days of the year.  But this year it will be bittersweet. 

For the past number of years now we’ve celebrated the 4th with Amber’s best friend’s family…whose mom also happens to be my bestie as well.  We hang out, the girls do their thing, we eat, we eat some more, then we eat s’mores, and then her husband puts on a fireworks show for us all.

At the end of May I received an invitation to be a part of the Country Crock Casserole Club.  I was so excited and so honored to be asked to be a part of this.  Casseroles are right up my alley!  And being a part of this club has some fun surprises for my readers too.

Alright so let’s get on with the first casserole challenge.  Let me tell you what Country Crock sent me to work with.

I think I may have mentioned a time or two on my blog before that I love pancakes.  It’s one of those foods that I could eat every day and probably never get tired of them.  In what feels like the never ending supply of food in my pantry and freezer that we need to use up before we move, I tweaked a recipe that I had from the National Honey Board, and made pancakes with a blueberry syrup the other morning.

Smoothies are one of my favorite quick, healthy things to make, and this recipe is perfect, it was even slurped up by the pickiest of eaters.  It’s good for hot summer days and it’s simple to make.  You could really add any of your favorite fruit instead of raspberries and make this smoothie all your own.

Still haven’t planned a dessert for Dad today?  Don’t panic if you didn’t, because here’s a great recipe from eMeals for you to make.
