Not want much starch in my diet, late summer is here and I didn't even make my beloved Chelsa's Pasta salad with the dill and ranch powder!!!

In Arizona, winter is our time to cook. We make anything anytime. We have no end of summer, only cooler weather when we can wear longer pants.

I love fresh corn, but hate shucking it.  I don't envy you having to do that to 6 dozen ears!

@ECBG   Chelsea's Classic Pasta Salad....here I come!  

I'll make the following minor substitutes:

ranch packet       Follow Your Heart Ranch...maybe 1/3 cup?

buttermilk            Almond milk with vinegar to make buttermilk

mayo                   Veganaise or homemade tofu mayo

sour cream          Vegan Sour Cream/homemade

Thanks!  I know this will be a tasty dish.

@Carmie  Love chicken corn soup, but it has been soooo HOT! I will wait until it's cooler and will use fresh frozen corn. We used to make it for our childrens' elementary school fundraiser in the spring.

I had a leftover chicken breast, so I sliced it up and sautéed it with halved grape tomatoes, corn, sliced green pepper, and garlic. When I had a sauce, I threw in some already cooked spaghetti, a handful of fresh spinach, and some parm. For a throw together dinner, it was quite tasty. I wish I'd had some fresh basil, that would have been even better. 🌽🍅🫑🧄

I haven't had my delicious Italian ices yet !!!  I love the chocolate and yum yum or vanilla.  These are creamy homemade ices and soooooo good!  Also I only had Rita's gelato once, it is a mixture of soft ice cream and flavored ice,  soooooo good!!!!!  

When I do have my Italian ice, I will stop to see what the bakery has which is where the ice is made!  These are all treats for me that I have a few times during the warm months.

Haven't even made a fresh fruit salad. In fact, I should start by buying a watermelon.

@PA Mom-mom   I am in PA.  It has been extremely hot here too...in the 90's all week.

I have central AC and it's cold inside my house.  My dogs can't stand and the heat.  I cook whatever we are hungry for heat be damned.

Two nights ago, I baked stuffed peppers...peppers were from my garden.  Tonight I grilled chicken breasts on the grill...

I am so hungry for chicken corn soup... I didn't make any last year.  As long as the AC works, I'll be good to go.
