about 30 yummy things for the summer

Dear reader, I like yummy things. Do you?  I'm gonna go with believing you just enthusiastically screamed "YES!"

This summer I decided that in order to diversify my cooking skillz (and just in order to eat more delicious food) I am going to embark on an adventure entitled 30 Yummy Things For Summer.  Basically I am going to try out thirty new recipes before the summer is over.  So...yeah, not the most creative title. These recipes will come from wherever - blogs, friend recommendations, cooking magazines.  I'll feature some (but not all, because thirty sounds sort of like a lot) on the blog!

I have a feeling I'll discover so many new things along the way.  I've already discovered that I cannot for the life of me spell "recipe" because autocorrect keeps underlining it.

Today I kicked things off with Lime Jello Conspiracy Pie.  

I like this pie because it only takes a few ingredients (and you can see that I was lazy and didn't make my own graham cracker crust):

You get to use a LOT of cool whip:

It sort of looks like a science experiment when you're mixing everything together: 

And all in all, it ends up being a very summer-y, reminds-me-of-jello-salad-at-a-family-picnic-but-in-a-pie sort of pie.  I'm a fan! 

I found this from Joy the Baker - recipe here.  and PS. if you live in Arlington and like pie, PUHLEASE come take some of this off my hands.  Or I may just have pie for breakfast, lunch, and dinner the next few days...
