This week was Senior Quilt Night at church. It is an evening where all the girl’s graduating from high school are honored and the women from church and young woman come together to tie quilts for each of the graduating girls. I was in charge of the dinner for the evening – yes, that is the second large group meal I have been in charge of this week – will someone please slap me!!!
Here is a cute picture of Cali and I wrapped up in her soft, fuzzy green quilt we made using ‘Minky’ fabric.
We served the yummy Penne Rustica, another Friday Favorite, along with roasted garlic bread and a spinach/strawberry salad. We served a fun, easy summer time dessert. The couple of warm days we enjoyed earlier in the week got me in the mood for summer so I decided to make Lemonade Pie.
It doesn’t get much easier than Lemonade Pie – it only has three ingredients.
Can of frozen lemonade (I used pink)
A graham cracker crust (since we were making 7 of these pies we used store bought)
1/2 gallon of vanilla ice cream (I used Breyer’s)
My wonderful, helpful mother came over and put all the pies together for me. Just put the somewhat, softened ice cream along with the can of frozen lemonade (no water added) into the Kitchen Aid and blend it up. Pour into graham cracker crust and refreeze. I like to add the whole can of lemonade but if you want it a bit “less lemony” just don’t add as much lemonade.
Enjoy a taste of summer!

What a fun mom you are! I think that is a great idea to make quilts for the seniors. And the lemonade pie looks fabulous!
Ohhhhh…. we make this pie all the time, only substituting Limeade concentrate instead of Lemonade. So good. My daughter now asks for this instead of cake on her birthday.
How fun to have a Sr. quilt night. My mom did the same thing in our Ward when I was a Sr. Too long ago to mention.
We only have two girls graduating and 2 boys.
