SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obviously I haven't cooked anything decent in quite a few months. We've been eating our frozen meals that we prepared before Maisy came along. But we've just about emptied the freezer, finally, and I'm getting back on track with cooking. It's fun now, cause it's a new season, with all new recipes! Putting away my crock pot and stews, and getting out my BBQ! SO Excited! Just wondering- does anyone have any good recipes for fish? i want a tasty, maybe breaded but not fried fish recipe. Does such a thing exist? We're trying to eat better, but we don't want to be miserable doing so:)

Here's my favorite, and SUPER easy summer dessert recipe. It always makes me think of summer fun.
angel food cake
Shredded coconut flakes
Strawberry Cool Whip (you could use regular if you cant find strawberry, it's just cuter when its pink)
and Strawberries

Flip Angel food cake upside down on a plate. Mix the coconut into the cool whip till it's all fluffy and chunky, cut up strawberries to a good size for eating.

Frost the Angel Food Cake with the cool whip and coconut mixture all over, just like a cake. then fill the hole of the bundt with the strawberries till it's overflowing onto the cake. For garnish, sprinkle some coconut flakes over the strawberries.

This cake looks so pretty, and summery, and is perfect for get togthers and potlucks. I usually make one for the 4th of July, so if I do, I'll post a picture.
