Coastal Oaks

Last week I had the pleasure of getting a "date lunch" with my husband. We went to Main St. Bistro here in old town League City. It's always a favorite of ours. The food is always good but during high crowd times can get a bit loud. When Matt and I actually get a date night we like it to be quite so we can talk and enjoy each other's company. We started with the fried green tomatoes topped with a generous amount of crab meat! Matt had the Chicken Caprese sandwich with asparagus on the side! I had the fried fish tacos supreme which means it had pico and avocado on top! We made some home made ice cream this past weekend and I also made some chocolate chip cookies. Fresh out of the oven we ate them with our ice cream! This summer has been filled with lots a swimming, playing hard, lots of parties. Derek told me "Mommy, we party a lot. I think it's because we are nice people so we always get invited to the party". Hope you all are enjoy...

Summer fun is here and these will add to those fun, hot days!! 🍉🍉 I actually got this idea from my kids' school. During the summer they surprise the kids with healthful treats while they get all sweaty on the playground. They are very easy to make and also add to the life span of the watermelon. Watermelons are huge and unless you are going to party or serving to a large group of people its hard to consume the whole thing before it goes bad. So get your pen and pad out cause these are AMAZING! I start with washing the skin of a whole seedless watermelon. I then slice into one inch circles. I then cut into triangles like a pizza. The skin on watermelon is pretty thick so I use my knife to make a slit-cut in the skin to then insert a popsicle stick. You can use regular popsicle sticks or if I could find the thick thumb prints ones- those are my preferred choice. Place in freezer safe bag or container and place in freezer. When ready to enjoy just take out of freezer to enjoy....
