Okay, is anyone cooking out there? I had a theme for June in mind, but it's not appropriate for hot weather. How about just good summer recipes? What's your favorite? What do you like to do for summer (grilled burgers are too easy -- I think we can all handle those!)
Let's get posting!

Quick & Yummy Strawberry Trifle
Pound cake cut into cubes
White chocolate-flavored instant pudding, prepared according to package directions
Sliced strawberries
Whipped topping
Layer the cake cubes, pudding and strawberries in a trifle dish, making about three layers. Top with whipped topping.
This is a very pretty and easy summer dessert.

Five Minute Lasagna
1 (26 oz.) jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce
1 (30 oz.) bag of frozen cheese ravioli (unthawed)
1 (10 oz.) package frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 (8 oz.) package shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
Preheat oven to 350
Lightly grease a 13 x 9 baking dish and spoon in 1/3 of the sauce. Arrange 1 layer of ravioli, then evenly lay all of the spinach over the top of the ravioli. Top with 1/2 of each cheese. Now cover with another layer of the ravioli, the remaining sauce and the remaining cheese. Tent with foil (don't let cheese touch foil or it will stick) and bake 25 minutes; then uncover and bake 5 to 10 minutes more until bubbly. Serves 6 and really is very quick to put together. My family all likes this even my child who doesn't care for green veges.
