I would switch it up between a banana split or a scoop (or two) of vanilla ice cream on a cone. For most people, ice cream brings back happy childhood memories! Today, July 17th, is National Ice Cream Day and I wanted to find out more about this delicious treat that so many of us enjoy!

Delicious Grilled Sea Bass Quesadilla Recipe
Back in the day when most of our friends didn’t have kids, we would meet up quite a bit for dinner and drinks. I can still remember playing Cake and Beck on rewind late into the night. One of my favorite dinners was the one our fisherman friend, Mike would make us by the poolside. His dad and him would go deep sea fishing quite a bit and he would bring us fresh sea bass and grill it on the barbecue and then place the fish in tortillas with some cheese.
