My favorite breakfast food is a beautiful stuffed french toast with fruit salad, a superb cup of coffee and a chilled fruit drink. I love good food, lots of it.
July 31st, 2009 at 9:02 amIm going to have to say the BEST pool side treat can only be cruising down the ocean, sitting by the pool with a nice refreshing strawberry daiquiri!!!!!! YUMMY!!!!
July 31st, 2009 at 9:03 amFavorite poolside treat is ice cold beer
July 31st, 2009 at 9:04 amMy favorite poolside treat is a Pink Bikini Martini!
July 31st, 2009 at 9:07 amMorning Jill!
It would definitely have to be something cold, like a slushy fruit drink (perhaps with some rum).
July 31st, 2009 at 9:08 amFave poolside treat? That would have to be a back porch lemonade – lemonade, watermelon liqueur, vodka – yummy summer staple turned ‘adult’! Add a good book and my fiance, and call it a perfect summer.
July 31st, 2009 at 9:12 amGin and tonic!
July 31st, 2009 at 9:13 amMy favorite is nachos and bellinis
July 31st, 2009 at 9:14 amHello Jill,
July 31st, 2009 at 9:15 amIn a effort to stay trim and healthy pool side, I double bowl on ice berries, pineapple, little squeeze of lemon a refreshing garnish of mint and feel like a rock star at home!!
Hello Jill,

Fave poolside treat? A back porch lemonade – lemonade, watermelon liqueur and a bit of vodka. A summer staple turned ‘adult’! Add a good book and my fiance, and it’s a perfect summer!
July 31st, 2009 at 9:16 amHas to be Sunshine, dry heat and Lollipops!
July 31st, 2009 at 9:16 amOne really fun snack is sliders (mini burgers) and a nice cold beer. The more gourmet the burgers the better.
July 31st, 2009 at 9:28 amMy favorite treat at the pool is anything slushy – daiquiri, margarita, slurpee, miami vice, bahama mama . . .
July 31st, 2009 at 9:30 amI’m not much of a drinker, but my favorite poolside treat would have to be a cold drink — something with pomegranate would be the best! Add my fiance (and a cold beer for him) and I’m set!
July 31st, 2009 at 9:31 amI dream of the poolside. Some might say I ache for it. I, sadly, have not experienced the relaxation of the side of the pool for some time, for my pool time consists of phrases like “get back here please!” and “don’t shoot people with your water gun! Put it down! Put id Down!!!”……I do hear that the ‘poolside’ is magical. One day soon. One day soon.
All that being said, my poolside treat is obviously a punch bowl full of gin n’ juice and trashy hollywood magazines.
July 31st, 2009 at 9:39 amwicked? I think so.
My favourite summer treat is enjoying the bounty of fresh summer fruits; cherries, peaches, watermelons, canteloupes, plums… cut up in a salad and served with a spritzer made with pureed canteloupe, sparkling water and a squeeze of lime.
July 31st, 2009 at 9:40 amOh and a little something from the raw bar!
July 31st, 2009 at 9:43 amGood Morning
My favourite poolside treat would have to be a large cranberry martini and a platter of fresh pineapple, strawberries and watermelon!
July 31st, 2009 at 9:48 amPoolside Treats……………..This one is cooling for Kids and Adults , and secret snackers.
July 31st, 2009 at 9:53 amFill a punchbowl with crushed ice (plain)………….. can be flavoured for Kids………….or liquored up for Adults. Then stir in frozen grapes of different colors , and JuJubes. Give em cups and a scoop , and everyone digs in to this simple summer cooler.
A bowl of frozen grapes is great on it’s own too.
Stay Cool !!
I guess I am boring, but I love a large glass of ice water with a squeeze of fresh orange – cool and refreshing on a hot day!
July 31st, 2009 at 9:56 amBELLINIS!!!!! If there’s no blender in sight…orange freezies.
July 31st, 2009 at 9:57 amI wish I could have a drink! Between being pregnant and breastfeeding, I cannot even remember what an adult drink is. I am stopping the breastfeeding and ready for a poolside drink, ANYTHING with alcohol, I need one.
July 31st, 2009 at 10:05 amGotta go with a cold glass of my home made Strawberry Zinfandel (LIQUID CANDY!!) and fresh strawberries, dipped in chocolate, shared with my hubby
July 31st, 2009 at 10:05 amMy favorite pool side treat is Royal Blush cocktail and a hot cabana boy!
July 31st, 2009 at 10:05 amThe last time I spent a week by the pool I enjoyed the most amazing foreign barbequed chicken…er…well I hope it was chicken?
July 31st, 2009 at 10:06 amMy indulgent poolside treat would have to be just the fact that I was NEAR a pool!! Or water for that fact. A nice cold Pina colada and satay chicken skewers would top it off too.
July 31st, 2009 at 10:07 amWhile in the Cook Islands I discovered a delicious refreshing drink called a Sea Breeze. In my opinion, there’s nothing better on a warm day.
July 31st, 2009 at 10:14 ami just spent alot of time in south america, i’ve gotta say, fresh, limey ceviche and cold beer were my go-to’s. ahh memories
July 31st, 2009 at 10:14 amMy favourite poolside treat is a spicy caesar and chicken wings. Does life get any better than that?
July 31st, 2009 at 10:15 amOhhh…… love to nosch on pistacios followed up with an ice cold lemonade on the weak side.
July 31st, 2009 at 10:19 amWell Jill my fav. poolside treat is an ice cold margarita. Then to eat by the pool is some fresh strawberries dipped in Chocolate. Nothing more romantic then feeding those yummy strawberries to my special lady relaxing with me beside the pool.
July 31st, 2009 at 10:21 amYummy……………and Cool !!!
July 31st, 2009 at 10:29 amDip big watermelon wedges in melted chocolate ( cover completely) , and then get them very cold in refridgerator.
They are great to bite into the SNAP of the cool chocolate , and then you get a BLAST of COOL watermelon Juice SQUIRTING into your mouth !!
I want one now just talking about it !
Thanks for the chance at a night away.

My favorite pool side treat is frozen Grapes. Very refreshing!
July 31st, 2009 at 10:36 amSitting in our backyard looking over all the gardens watching our family or friends laughing and splashing in the pool or in the hot tub sipping a Tea-tini (orange vodka, citrus tea, and a nice slice of lemon) with cheese and crackers. Smelling a nice steak on the BBQ with corn on the cob. There is nothing better than that.
July 31st, 2009 at 10:37 amHi Jill and everyone in the studio.
July 31st, 2009 at 10:43 amI would say that my favorite summer drink is a nice cold CORONA, and of course I like to have some fresh home made salsa with cilantro, tomatoes, onions and lots of lime juice. I almost forget the CHIPS…… Is this divine or what?. I don’t want to forget my husband; he doesn’t drink but I’ll drink the rest of the Corona for him.
Have a nice weekend and enjoy the sun!!!!!!!!!!
Drinking Tea-tini (orange vodka, citrus tea, and nice slice of lemon) with cheese and crackers. Smelling the BBQ in background and enjoying the day with family and friends around the pool.
July 31st, 2009 at 10:45 amHi Everyone,
July 31st, 2009 at 10:51 amMy favorite summer drink is a very cold CORONA with some homemade salsa with cilantro, onions, tomatoes and lots of lime juice and some nice CHIPS. I don’t want to forget my husband, he doesn’t drink so I’ll drink the rest of the CORONA for him.
Omgosh I was treated to fresh fruit soaked in champagne when we were in Mexico. It was so refreshing!!
July 31st, 2009 at 10:54 amEat the fruit then drink the champagne! Perfect!!
my favorite poolside treat is a glass of iced tea and a relaxation massage!!!
July 31st, 2009 at 10:57 amFrozen grapes are a great treat. I’m sure they would work well as “ice cubes” in some bubbly.
July 31st, 2009 at 11:03 amHi Jill,
My favourite summer treat would be frozen grapes or a nice cold ice coffee. Have a great weekend.
July 31st, 2009 at 11:03 amMy favourite poolside treat is a Pimm’s with Fresca, a splash of Acai juice and soda…wedge of lemon and lime on the side! Mmmm…tasty!
July 31st, 2009 at 11:04 amgotta be a Tanqueray 10 and Tonic
July 31st, 2009 at 11:06 amWell my favorite treat would be a SCREAMER, which is vanilla ice cream and whatever flavor of Slurpee you feel like that day! Orange crush and vanilla ice cream tastes like a creamsicle, my favorite!
July 31st, 2009 at 11:07 amI’m prego so can’t have alcohol – making this years choice anything involving ice-cream. But now I have lots of ideas for next summer!
July 31st, 2009 at 11:08 amWe recently returned from camping vacation at Gull Lake for 2 weeks.
July 31st, 2009 at 11:11 am..My husband now has a nickname…….. “Pool Boy ” for good reason…hehehe
A favorite lakeside treat Crab California Rolls….Shushi and an Ice cold beverage of your choice…..
The Lake is lovely but a Pool is more Romantic……Pool Boy and I would love to get away……
Favorite poolside snack? Lady you need to try a small platter of thinly sliced Balderson chedder, Vegetable Thin Crackers with Red Pepper Jelly (it adds a little bite!), and a glass of mildly child red wine (I prefer a Cab-Sauv and am enjoying a Chilaen “Cono Sur”). The red wine MUST be chilled poolside or it just wont work so I suggest you have it somewhere around 10 – 14 deg c to provide the perfect taste on your tongue!
ps – you said that model would look good in a bag? Nah: you Jill would look good in a paper bag! Now how is that for kissing up to the teacher?
July 31st, 2009 at 11:11 amFavourite poolside drink is a nice big, very dry martini. Only thing that ever beat it was a strawberry margarita on the deck of our cruise ship by the pool while cruising the Mexican Riviera.
Best summer time treat, though, has to be the chocolate and vanilla twisted soft serve cones at the Calgary zoo on a hot summer afternoon while watching the elephants do their thing.
July 31st, 2009 at 11:14 amMy favorite treat would be really great friends, ice cold beer and lots of laughs…..
July 31st, 2009 at 11:20 amSo drinks aside, I LOVE mexican food and I love making it fresh. My poolside treat would have to be homemade guacamole, a watermelon salsa and a nice spicy shrimp ceviche.
July 31st, 2009 at 11:25 amYum!
Aside from sundressess and flip flops (lets not forget a litte SPF 30) – I like to indulge in a little White Sangria.
July 31st, 2009 at 11:28 amMy favorite treat borrowed from the Brits is Pims. A delicious drink – and the fruit is always a tasty vehicle for the booze.
July 31st, 2009 at 11:30 aman icecream float!!
July 31st, 2009 at 11:30 amOne of my favorite drinks is Lime Margarita and snack is BBQ corn chips with a squeeze of lime juice.
July 31st, 2009 at 11:32 amWe would love the chance to spend a night at Hotel Arts before the baby comes! We spent our wedding night there, what a beautiful hotel!
Our favourite summer poolside treat would have to be lime margaritas (*drool*) for moi, and corona with lime for the Hubs.
Then, I would whip up a batch of my famous Black Bean and Corn Salsa with some Blue Corn Chips. http://morganandbreck.blogspot.com/2008/05/black-bean-and-corn-salsa.html (check out the recipe here!)
Happy Summer!
July 31st, 2009 at 11:33 amMy favorite poolside treat is a yummy Lychee Champagne cocktail. Refreshing, sweet and bubbly!
July 31st, 2009 at 11:34 amMy favourite summer treat is watermelon. Plain and simple and very yummy and refreshing
July 31st, 2009 at 11:36 amMy favourite poolside treat is a tall gin & tonic with a lime wedge “ever so refreshing”, & of couse munchies like good old french fries & ketchup.
July 31st, 2009 at 11:39 amA great pool side treat for me includes: shrimp on ice with a spicy cilantro cocktail sauce along with Vodka infused cherries ( I can give you the recipe for these tasty bombs) So good.
July 31st, 2009 at 11:42 amwell my 3 year old son always wants a strawberry banana daquiri(of course virgin) and a bowl of popcorn twists and we sit out on our patio and enjoy the sun and treats together!
July 31st, 2009 at 11:53 amDefinitely Slush Puppies! There are hard to find here in the city but are fantastic. Blue raspberry / Cherry flavour is by far the best
July 31st, 2009 at 11:54 amI enjoy a chilled glass of Pinot Grigio and chocolate dipped strawbwerries.It tastes yummy.
July 31st, 2009 at 11:57 amOur favourite poolside treat is lemonade (7-up) with a blob of ice cream on the top, in a tall glass then add a twisted straw. Its very refreshing and the kids love it.
July 31st, 2009 at 12:06 pmSex-in-a-pan. I wait all year to make this dessert for BBQs. A family favourite.
July 31st, 2009 at 12:13 pmMy favorite poolside drink has to be an extra large Strawberry Margarita. My treat would be the ice cream and slush served at the Zoo which is called the “Screamer” while watching the Siberian Tigers.
July 31st, 2009 at 12:45 pmI came from Thailand
July 31st, 2009 at 1:33 pmThese are my favorite poolside food ever.
Frozen watermelon with sugar icing
French Fries dip with ice-cream (strawberry/ chocolate chip & brownie/ vanilla)
Fruit Punch ( I love peach with mango , or pineapple with lychee .. Mmmmm)
My favorite poolside treat would be that delicous general manager at raw bar i saw this morning
July 31st, 2009 at 3:40 pmI’ve still yet to try the white wine star fruit drink. I imagine, that’s the best pool side drink.
July 31st, 2009 at 4:44 pmHello Jill,
I cam to Canada from Poland 2 years ago where pools are not so popular like in Canada or States…
August 1st, 2009 at 8:02 pmHowever, I experienced a wonderful poolside treat during our honeymoon in Mexico…It was relaxation massage done by my husband followed by drinking together refreshing champagne and watching the most beautiful sunset in my life..Have a wonderful long weekend!!
My fav poolside treat for sure is always watching my beautiful kids playing, laughing and smiling!
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:36 amIf it’s too hot to pull out the blender, Kahlua and club soda in a tall glass with ice is very yummy!
Treat? The pool man who delivered the drink!
If I have to get it myself, fresh fruit (peaches, blueberries…) or a soft ice cream with slurpee on top.
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:15 pmFavorite poolside treat…..hmm, this could be so many things but I would have to say watermelon…so cool and refreshing on a hot summer day!
