LINDA said...: Oh, my goodness! It is so hard to decide but I really love-love-love the Dorothy Apron in aqua. It is beautiful...
My favorite recipe for summer is stuffed jalapenos>>
24 large jalapenos-cut tops off and core out membrane and seeds.
Stuffing>>4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1/2# sausage, browned and drained
2 T. diced pimentos, drained
1/4 c. finely chopped onion
Stuff each pepper full.
I used to always stand these up in a casserole--make fit snug so they stand up. Now they actually make racks that hold these up very nicely. Bake at 350' for 35-40 minutes. These are great party appetizers but are even great cold!
Thanks for the chance to win one of these awesome aprons!!!!; June 9, 2008 10:58 PM

Colleen said...: I love the garden party apron!; June 10, 2008 9:12 AM
In transition said...: Ok - now it's time for my:

Deviled Eggs - They are FANTASTIC!

I don't measure, that's the problem...

So boil your eggs, cut all in half and scoop out the yolks

Combine yolks with about
2 TBS good mayo (my personal favorite is Hellmans)

1 TBS yellow mustard (again my fave is Frenchs')

Then the secret is 2 tsp of very finely minced onion, it totally kicks it up!

Then add a little dill relish and salt. Mix up very well.

I fill my eggs with a pastry bag and wide star tip. If I don't have one, I cut the end off of a ziploc, it saves the mess!

They are best when allowed to chill and the onion can realy soak in, but who can wait that long!; June 10, 2008 9:19 AM

CAB said...: Favorite summer recipe....The Pink Stuff, of course!

1 tub cool whip
1 small can pineapple tidbits
1 pint strawberries (washed and cut into bite-sized pieces)
1 16 oz. container small curd cottage cheese
1 box sugar free strawberry jell-0
1 banana

Dump cottage cheese into bowl - add jell-o mix and stir together.

Add drained pineapple and strawberries. Stir together.

Add cool whip and gently fold until combined.

Refrigerate for a few hours (overnight is even better). When ready to serve, slice banana and add it in - voila - the Pink Stuff!

Try this even if you're not a fan of cottage cheese - you'll like it!; June 10, 2008 11:36 AM
CAB said...: And for my third entry, I just posted about your giveaway on my blog! Thanks again!

Edi said...: Other than the Americana apron which I think is WonderfuL!! I'd have to say my favorite is the garden party apron. Almost looks like a dress...; June 10, 2008 11:48 AM
Edi said...: My favorite summertime food would have to be "Beer Can Chicken". One whole chicken (about 5 lb)...rub it all over with a spicy rub...put a beer can (we use a soda can) about 1/2 filled with water into the opening of the bird so that the bird can "stand" on the grill. Grill over indirect heat for about 1.5 hrs. It is WONDERFUL. The skin is crispy and spicy and full of flavor (the kids always want me to include some skin on their pieces!) and the meat is juicy and delicious.; June 10, 2008 11:50 AM
Kellie said...: I'm a long time fan of the Dorothy apron. Yes, I've eyed it a time or two ;) However, this round I'm gonna say the Cupcake apron...it has cupcakes on it, what's not to love?; June 10, 2008 11:53 AM

Bonnie D. said...: I almost forgot about the recipe! I made this recipe the other night for book club and it was a big hit! It was adapted from a recipe in last month's "Domino" magazine.

Strawberry Cream Pie

2 lb strawberries, reserve 3 for garnish, hull the rest
3 T lemon juice.
1 ¼ cup milk
6 T Cornstarch
¾ c. sugar

Graham cracker pie shell (the bigger one)

2 cups whipping cream
2 T confectioner sugar

Puree the strawberries (not the reserved ones!) in a blender or food processor with the lemon juice. Combine cold milk, cornstarch and sugar in saucepan. Whisk until well blended and sugar is dissolved. Stir in pureed strawberries. Cook over med-high heat for 6-7 minutes until bubbly and thick. Pour into pie shell and let cool completely on counter. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Before serving, whip cream with sugar until stiff. Spread over pie and garnish with remaining strawberries (you can slice them or chop them, whatever you feel like.) Be sure to keep refrigerated until serving. It gets soft quickly.; June 10, 2008 1:04 PM

Melanie H. said...: Whoops! Tried to post this yesterday and got kicked off the internet. :-P

Truthfully, my favorite summer food is Watermelon, but for the sake of something more original I will elaborate on my favorite summer meal, Gazpacho (and yes, that was my sister Felicity who mentioned it earlier).

Gazpacho

Cut into bite sized pieces a variety of your favorite raw vegetables, e.g. tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, bell peppers, olives, avacados, etc. Put a spoonful of each in a soup bowl and poor in V8 tomatoe juice. To add a little extra pizzazz try some tabasco sauce or spicy salsa in it as well.

Bon appetit!
