we left the butter out {the 24th of july--frozen coconut limeade recipe}

pioneer day.

it's like the 4th of july,

but not.

we left the butter out in what felt like 106*.

it was probably less than that.

natalie told me it feels hotter in utah than arizona right now.

i threw up in my mouth a little bit at that.

so when you leave the butter out on your patio table for an hour it melts.

into liquid.

and then when you put it into your fridge,

it molds into a perfectly flat rectangle of butter.

in case you were wondering,

that's what happens

when you leave your butter out.

in what feels like 106*

on the 24th of july.

this next part is important.

REALLY

REALLY IMPORTANT.

listening ears on?

are you ready?

I COMMAND YOU TO MAKE THIS DRINK.

i had three helpings.

i 

can't 

stop 

thinking 

about 

it.

DEEEEEE-LISH!

creamy

limey

coconutty

smooth

frozen

goodness

:):):)

frozen coconut limeade

5 cups ice

3/4 cup Coco Lopez Cream of Coconut {i bought the Coco Real Simply Squeeze bottle b/c it was cheaper AND it was a squeeze bottle. no brainer.}

6 tbls frozen limeade concentrate

3 tbls water

DIRECTIONS:

BLEND.

yep, that's it.

until it's nice and smooth.

we made 3 batches and used up the 

cream of coconut and limeade perfectly.

hands down, the yummiest frozen drink i've ever made.

KEEPER!!!

baby man approved.

it's a good thing winco was out of corn at midnight on tuesday night,

so linsey could drag me to her favorite corn stand 12 hours later on pioneer day.

freshly picked, draper sweet corn.

procrastination at it's finest.

winning:)

grill it.

mayo slather it.

parmesian and chili powder it.

ta-da.

the cheese stuffed bacon wrapped hot dogs 

were just as good the second time around.

i can almost taste the juicy bacon looking at this picture.

have mercy:)

these two characters stood under their respective water hose,

"showered themselves off",

did a shower dance,

and jumped in the air down the slide.

about a million times.

for 6 hours straight.

we all sat in camping chairs with our feet in the baby pools,

frozen coconut limeades in hand,

and watched them.

slathered in sunscreen.

july has wiped me out.

completely.

THE END.
