Now that summer is in full swing and the heat has arrived, the last thing I want to do is heat up the kitchen.  Continuing My Favorite 5 series, these are five of my favorite cool summer recipes.  They are some of my go to dishes after a fun day when I want something tasty but cool.  Each one is a favorite enjoyed by my whole family.

Happy Summer!
