Here it is July already and again it’s time for those National and Celebrated Foods. Well, of course I have to deliver the news as promised, right? Let’s get down to talking food kind readers and from what I’ve discovered, it’s all pretty good, too! 🙂 There are 8 of them in all this month, so it should be interesting for us to get down to talking food. I am happy to report the National Foods are:1. Blueberries 2. Ice Cream 3.Watermelon and 4.Hot Dogs and the Celebrated Foods are: 1. Pickles 2. Baked Beans 3. Eggplant 4. Lettuce. Does anyone see a little trend developing here, or is it just me?
There seems to be a lot of picnic type food going on and for good reason since it’s summertime and that spells Picnics! I know the lettuce and eggplant aren’t exactly in the picnic category, I think somebody was thinking gardens on those two. But they are good and you can take them on picnics if you want to, a bit out of the ordinary perhaps but there are no rules! Salads are always good anytime is my opinion and lettuce rocks! 🙂
Eggplant parmesan is so much a favorite of both Autumn and me, eggplant really does get two thumbs up from the both of us in general. I have a feeling some of you just might not share our love for this vegetable, love it or hate it…Do share! The ice cream making it in the national foods isn’t exactly picnic food, but who doesn’t simply love ice cream? Hopefully the answer will be nobody! Please don’t tell me some of you kind readers aren’t ice cream fans, I will be disappointed and surprised. But everyone does have their own individual tastes and all, right? So, if you aren’t an ice cream lover speak right up…But do tell us why for heaven’s sake! 😉 I am so thinking of ice cream I may just have to get a small dish when I finish writing this post, I kid you not! So many flavors, so little time is what I say. 🙂
Anyway, all in all the foods for July have just been so much joy for me to share with all of you. Not really a bad one in the bunch again this month, although to be honest I don’t eat hot dogs and either does Autumn, it has to do with the not eating of most meats.
Please do give these 8 foods some thoughts and do share your opinions, likes and dislikes…It will be fun! Catch up with me in August for the foods of that month, too because I will be here and happy to report them all. I sure hope you enjoyed reading this post and yes you guessed it…I must go for now because the ice cream in my freezer is calling my name! 😉 🙂

Hi Gabby, I love them all, except, I’m not a fan of eggplant, sorry! 🙂 Of course, Ice cream, and I LOVE your photo! Watermelon and lettuce for salads are at the top of the list, too! I’d like to add corn on the cob to my favorites and grilling just about anything! Veggies are good on the grill, too. Corn in the husks and all kinds of peppers…Another fun post, Gabby! 🙂
I’m happy to hear you love all the foods Lauren, except eggplant. I honestly think it’s such a love for Autumn and me since we grew up with it, it was always growing in the garden. I so love you adding the corn on the cob, peppers and veggies on the grill…They are all just wonderful, too! 🙂 Thanks for liking this food post and of course Autumn found the ice cream picture. Ice cream is such the best and all the flavors to choose are just awesome! 🙂

Oh no, please Gabby don’t publish my first comment. I think Abby hit something and off it went 🙂 Anyways, I meant to say I love ice cream and your photo makes me want to eat right now 🙂 I love watermelon too. The others not so but we all have our own preferences right? Thanks for sharing. Have a great day to you and Autumn!
I took care of your first comment, never fear! 🙂 Abby was just having some fun, thinking she wanted to help which made me smile. 🙂 I’m happy to hear you love ice cream and watermelon, I know that photo sure makes an ice cream lover want to have some really badly! You are right about all of us having our own food preferences, we are all different after all and don’t like the same things. It’s been a great day so far for me and Autumn, too and hope yours is the same and adorable Abby, too! 🙂
🙂 thanks!
