Here’s what I made from the June Paint Bucket
The flavor of the Month was Ranch
If you’re looking for fast and fabulous potatoes, try these EZ Ranch Hashbrown Potato Casserole
Crunchy Cheddar Chicken from Hidden Valley Ranch turned into Ranch Picnic Chicken Nuggets
Tropical Summer Fruit Spears were inspired by Waldorf Salad on a Stick from Hidden Valley Ranch
I decided to make a more seasonal version, using fresh pineapple, watermelon, berries and peaches, and drizzle them with a sweet instead of savory dressing
Tropical Summer Fruit Spears were featured on Thursday Favorite Things, Marilyn’s Treats
You can serve these as a snack, with a brunch or luncheon, perfect for a bridal shower or afternoon tea, even as a refreshing dessert
Asian Caramel Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with Pineapple Snow Pea Salsa from Carlsbad Cravings were the inspiration for Asian Peach Slaw and BBQ Pulled Pork Wrap
This recipe was featured on Full Plate Thursday, Miz Helen’s Country Cottage and Tasty Tuesday, Blogghetti
Grilled Blue Cheese & Bacon Stuffed Onions from James & Everett inspired my version, Bacon & Bleu Cheese Stuffed Vidalias, with several variations
Deep Dish Frito Pie from the Food Network was the inspiration for Fiesta Frito Pie
Instead of making Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream from the Kitchenthusiast I found a much simpler recipe from Taste of Home, which I’m calling Raspberry Dream Ice Cream, so easy to make, it’s like a dream!
Have a delicious July!

Can you believe that the year is half over? Peaches are my favorite summer fruit, I can’t wait for peach cobbler pancakes, yum! Happy Sunday dear Jenna!
Oh my goodness, so many things to try. I do love all the flavors of summer. As for me, I’ll be doing no cooking on the 4th as we are lucky to be treated by others. What I’m wondering is how July got here so quickly!
Me too! enjoy your 4th!
Bacon stuffed vidialas? Could be BIG TROUBLE here! I love both of those so much! And a good reminder on fruit skewers. This will be good for the fourth weekend!
The onions are easy to make and so delicious Jeanie!
Jenna I love your treasure trove of summer recipes….I can’t wait t try the peaches and cream lasagna. I love peaches and there is something about the smell of fresh peaches that makes my heart go pitty-pat. Hugs dear friend.
