Summertime brings all kinds of fun but my very favorite part of the summer is getting together with family and friends for BBQs and parties. I love inviting people over to enjoy a meal and snacks outside while the kids play in the pool or just run in the yard. My perfect summer evening! I have a lot of plans for this summer, now that the kids are getting a bit older it s a lot more fun to have these little gatherings at home.
With every gathering I make a new menu plan, now to be completely honest, the main dishes usually stay the same because I like EASY options that let me enjoy my guests but I always try to create new and delicious recipes to share with my guests. Now that the heat of the summer is coming on strong, it is going to be in the 90s this weekend here, I am not wanting to turn on our oven. TOO hot for that. So, my treats and desserts for my gatherings must be no-bake options.
NILLA Wafers are the perfect treat to add to any no-bake dessert this summer. When I headed to Walmart to pick up my NILLA Wafers I was pleased to see that there is now a lemon flavor as well. What a perfect flavor wafer for summertime! For my No Bake Coconut Banana Cream Pies I decided to stick with the traditional NILLA Wafers.
