Thank’s to  Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market for sponsoring this post. Visit Fresh & Easy’s website or Facebook page to find a store near you.

Summer is really here in Arizona with our temperatures reaching over 100 degrees this weekend the last thing I want to do is slave over a hot stove cooking dinner!!  Since marrying my sweetheart almost 6 years ago I have taken over the grill and  I have to say I grill a little better than Mr. Pinkcakeplate!!  SHHHHHH!! Don’t tell him!!  So with it being June first I thought I would kick off summer with some yummy grilling fun and a delicious  Garlic Green Beans recipe!!

I first went to my local Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market and picked out some yummy grilling goodies!!  I took the Mr. with me because sometimes it is fun to take him grocery shopping with me!!  He finds some interesting things that is for sure!!  We walked through the fruits and vegetable section and I love that they have these .98 cent produce packs!!

Then I hit up the meat section!!  I love the selection and even got lucky and found a Mixed Grill Pack on sale for half price!!  I love that!!  There is enough meat in this package for 3 meals for the two of us so I decided I wanted to cook the chicken!!  So now to assemble the rest of the meal.  I already had the salad from the produce section.

I love the clearance section too and found some delicious fresh green beans.

Did you know you can get fresh pizza dough there too??  AND I love the Rosemary Fococcia dough that you bake fresh at home!!YUMMM!

Now the Mr. found a little Tiramisu that he wanted for dessert in the refrigerated section of the baked goods!! Score I don’t have to make dessert!!

So I grilled the chicken (froze the other meats), cooked the green beans, baked the focaccia, tossed the salad and dinner was done!!

 

When we finished dinner I simply served the Tiramisu,  it was just that easy!!  Here is the yummy green bean recipe it is sooooo easy you will love it!!

I love Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market I feel like it is a “boutique” market with some really  unique and yummy treats!!  The selection is really fun and different from your local grocery store.  If you haven’t been to a Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market you really should stop in some time I promise it wont disappoint!  Oh and by the way you can print a $5.00 off of a $20.00 purchase coupon HERE it is good until June 9th!!!  Happy Shopping!!

I love this Lemonade Ice Box Cake it is so easy to I love this Lemonade Ice Box Cake it is so easy to make, refreshing and oh so delicious!! I bet you even have everything it takes to make this in your pantry!! 😁HERE'S THE RECIPE!!😀 **********LEMONADE ICE BOX CAKE⁣***********
3/4 cup frozen lemonade(thawed)
1 can sweetened Condensed Milk
2 cartons frozen whipped topping (1 thawed, 1 for topping/garnish)
2-3 sleeves Graham Crackers
In a large bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk and whipped topping. Fold the two together gently until combined, being careful to keep the mixture light and fluffy. Add the lemonade concentrate and continue to gently fold. Do not add too much lemonade that the mixture becomes loose.
Line a 9"x7" pan with one layer of graham crackers, breaking if needed to fit. Spoon 1/2 lemonade mixture over top of graham crackers. Spread evenly over crackers, top with second layer of graham crackers. Spoon remaining lemonade mixture over top of second layer of graham crackers and spread evenly. Top with 3rd layer of graham crackers. 
Cover with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving. Top with whipped topping and garnish as desired. Serve and enjoy. This can be frozen for up to a month. (I like it better frozen!)
