Frozen Pina Colada Wedges

 
Hello again!

How is your summer going?  I had a very busy summer as I can imagine, many of you had too. Time goes by too fast sometimes, which lately, has been most of the time. Too many things to do and not enough hours in the day to do them all... 

Is it just me or the days have gotten shorter?! I’m not talking about sunset, (that too) but the actual hours in a day. Seems,  they shrunk. I find that the weeks are going by way too fast. If you don’t have that problem, I’ll say, consider yourself fortunate. I just hate to think that soon the warm summer days will be gone too so I decided to enjoy summer while I still can. And what better way, than with a delicious treat. Your summer might be better with this frozen Pina Colada dessert.



Just a few ingredients, quick  and  easy. Enjoy!
