5 Easy DIY Treats To Make This Summer
Rosanna Pansino

As you plan your lazy summer afternoon or your awesome pool party, take a moment to treat yourself with these five wonderful, cute recipes that have those summer vibes. All the recipes are easy to make and in no doubt, delicious. However, the further you read, the more challenging it will be!

1. Frozen Lemonade

A Dallas mom named Megan created this fun recipe. Click on the picture above or right here for full details of the recipe but it's really quite simple. Just put some lemonade with ice in a blender then, boom: frozen lemonade goodness. If you wanna add something exciting to it, add a scope of ice cream. Absolutely delicious and refreshing for those hot summer days!

2. 4th of July Ice Cream Cones

Need some added flare to your ice cream for this 4th of July? Well, with this super easy recipe by Rosanna Pansino is perfect! All you really have to do is coat the cone with melted chocolate then add some festive sprinkles all around it. It's nothing too crazy but it will at least catch many people's attention.

3. Classic Ice Cream Sandwich

It's so simple and obvious yet, I often forget that it's possible to make that. There are two ways you could make this. The first way is to squish together store bought cookies with your favorite ice cream flavor. The second way, which I think it more satisfying, is to bake your own cookies and squish them together with ice cream. Trust me, once you bake fresh cookies, you wouldn't want to buy store bought again. Recipe for homemade cookies can be found here.

4. Watermelon Rice Krispy Treats

This recipe takes a little more time to prepare but it's perfect for any summer outing! Basically, you melt marshmallows along with food coloring. Then you stir in your rice krispies into the two colored pots. Prepare a cake pan with some butter then outline the pan with the green rice krispies and the pink rice krispies for the center. Add in the chocolate for seeds and popsicle sticks to finish the look.

5. "Zootopia" Pawpsicles

Yes, it's possible to recreate the adorable ice popsicles from Disney's Oscar-winning movie "Zootopia." The talented Rosanna Pansino created this recipe on her YouTube show, "Nerdy Nummies." It only requires four ingredients to make and you would only need to buy a dog paw mold online. You would just combine all the ingredients in a blender and freeze them into the molds. There you have it—a delicious cherry pawpsicle. Perfect for a day by the pool or maybe for watching "Zootopia".

That's all for now! Thanks so much for reading! If you know a recipe for this summer, leave a comment down below. I'm always looking for something new to make.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
