We all know summertime brings around some of the best things––weather, vacations, no school, and of course one of the most important, the food! Certain foods just taste better in the summer. There is nothing like kicking back with your sandy-cheeked butt in the sand and a nice fat hoagie in your hand. Just in case anyone needs a reminder of what the best summer foods are, here's a list:
1. Watermelon
It's the ultimate summer dessert fruit. It's not a summer event without it. A reminder: as we all learned in a very important episode of Rugrats, never eat the black seeds or a watermelon will grow in your stomach.
2. Pickles
What is a summer sandwich without a side of pickle? The best crunchy treat ever.
3. Hot dogs and cheeseburgers
Some of the best words you can hear during the summer are "We're having a barbecue." You know you're going to be eating good. And when the cook asks "Do you want a hamburger or a hot dog?" We all know the correct answer is always "both!"
4. Ice pops
"Mom! Where are the kitchen scissors?"
5. Hoagies
Can you honestly look at this without your stomach growling? There is nothing like a big fat packed sandwich as you plant yourself in the sand for the whole day.
6. Peaches
We all know the feeling when you get that peach juice dribble down your chin but you don't even care because what you're eating is so amazing and refreshing.
7. Plums
These and peaches are the ultimate beach fruits. They really hit the spot, especially when you first bite into a plum and it's a dark purple on the inside!
8. Ice cream
If you are not eating ice cream at least twice a day during the summer you are doing it wrong.
9. Corn on the cob
Such a delicious meal, it's like it's not even a vegetable (especially when smothered in butter, as it should be)!
10. Fudgy Wudgy
It's like music to the ears when we hear the sound of the ice cream man making his way down the beach right to us. Even with the over-priced, melts-right-away ice cream pops, I wouldn't trade that for the world!!
Now, who's hungry?
