Summer always has me craving fresh in-season food or anything cooked on the grill. I love creating meals around the harvest from our garden or the farmer's market. While they are nothing out of the ordinary, I thought it would be fun to share our family's five favorite summer meals.
I am linking up with Andrea and Erika to share my Friday Favorites.

ONE
SALADS!
Caprese Salad
Spinach Leaves, washed and dried (I like the baby leaves)
1/2 red onion, diced
2 English Cucumbers, diced
1 Quart strawberries, sliced
Combine all ingredients in a large salad bowl. Top with poppyseed dressing and toss just before serving. Add chicken to make this salad a meal!
TWO
Homemade Pizza
This family meal began during quarantine and is still one of our go to meals. Make one big pizza or several smaller ones and let everyone top it their way.
We use this dough recipe...
and cook them on our well-loved Pizza Pizzaz Oven.

We love to make this southern staple when we have an abundance of tomatoes from the garden. This recipe is my favorite!
But for a quick fix, nothing beats a classic tomato sandwich. Tomatoes, salt, and mayo...add basil to fancy it up.
FOUR
Perfect for using up garden zucchini. This recipe uses all other ingredients from Aldi.
FIVE
Burgers on the Grill
This one needs no explanation. Nothing says summer like a burger cooked on the grill. Dress it up any way you'd like but try topping it with pimento cheese and thank me later.
What are some of your favorite summer meals? I love getting inspiration for new things to feed my people.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend full of your favorite eats!
Oh wow! Those salads look so good especiall the strawberry one. We had home made pizza tonight and you're right tomato sandwiches are so good.
ReplyDeleteI love food cooked on the grill outside, it always tastes better than food cooked inside.
