Summer is almost here. To me, Memorial Day will always mark the start of summer. No matter what the calendar….or the weather, says. I am jumping for joy, smiling from ear to ear and making ice cream, grilling corn and chowing down on watermelon like it is my job. Today is all about summer foods. Foods you can grill, foods that will make you cold and fruit galore. It’s what summer is all about.
