It seems like each season has a food or two that simply must be eaten at that particular time, or else it just doesn't feel like you've had a real summer, or fall, or winter. Growing up, we always had pumpkin ice cream in the fall, and it looks like Key Lime Pie might become a summer tradition!
Does your family have any traditional summer foods? - GJ

I've never made a key lime pie before. Is it difficult?

I use the Cook Country no-egg recipe. ;-) It calls for some out of the ordinary ingredients (unflavored gelatin?!), but it's not hard, and the whole thing is made in a food processor. I found that a blender works as well. :-) You're also supposed to heat the gelatin in the microwave for 15 seconds. Well, our microwave is not in yet, but it did just fine with me guessing on the stove top. - GJ
Key lime pie is my dad's favorite. :) We make one every spring when we go down to Florida to visit our grandparents.

Watermelon and homemade ice cream are Oklahoma summer "must haves"!! =) Won't catch me breaking these traditions!
I love to have BLT's (with garden tomatoes, of course!)and fried zucchini one time every summer, and I was just thinking the other day that we didn't do that this year. :(
Elijah asked for a pumkin pie the other day when I said it felt like fall weather.
Hey! This is Bethany, Char's daughter. You asked for my blog address quite a bit ago, and I'm just now getting it to you-sorry! It'll be fun to keep up with each others blogs! It's a great way to keep in fellowship together, and with Christ, over distances...:)
Key Lime Pie sounds awesome. I think that our family summer foods (I can pick 2, right?) are Strawberry Shortcake, and Lime Grilled Porkchops.
Summer foods...probably too many to mention, but the first things that come to mind are blueberry pie and strawberry jam made from hand picked strawberries at Thompsons Farm. We also grill out a lot.
Your key lime pie looks yummy!
We have fun reading your blog!

We always have blueberry pie in the summer, and apple pie/crisp in the fall after we go apple picking.

I think watermelon is our top summer food. When you crack one open you just can't help feeling it's summer.
We got our last one of the year, probably, a few weeks ago and it has been in the fridge waiting patiently. This weekend i actually started in with some fall favorites and last night they ate the watermelon. Ok, so a bit of overlapping, but it IS Illinois and the seasons are a bit hesitant to leave at times.
