Summer is all about getting fresh fruits and veges from the Farmer’s Market and making all kinds of salads.

I could spend the whole summer eating watermelon! Mmmm.

I make a mean guacamole in the summer (actually it’s Wegmans Super Bowl recipe)! But it tastes especially great with garden fresh yellow and red cherry tomatoes!

Can’t wait to scroll through the other recipes, and see the full reveals!

I’m gonna have to go with fruit salad for my Summer fav. Yes, it might sound a little boring and like something you can certainly make more often than just in the Summer, but there is nothing quite like those fresh Summertime fruits all mixed together! YUM. 😉
– April W
Oh that’s an easy one. My husband has a favorite pasta recipe that I first made for our son’s graduation party. It has a simple mayo/sour cream/mustard base with green pepper, tomatos and onion. Very simple but oh so yummy! It’s a great take along to family picnics and always goes fast.
Strawberry rhubarb pie. Nothing can beat the fresh berry pie.
My favorite summertime recipe is the grill chicken with pineapple sauce. The chicken is marinated with Korean traditional spicy sauce and is grilled for 45 mins. When I make the pineapple sauce, I chop the pineapple and add some sugar, honey, vinegar and other spices to make it sweet and sour. This meal is the best summer meal for you family.. Yummy… )

My favorite summertime recipe is fruit salad. I pack in as many berries and melons as I can find! Any leftovers become icy fruit popsicles!
My favorite summer recipe has to be pasta salad. I never seem to make in any other time of the year. It pairs well with BBQ Chicken, Cheeseburgers, Steak, just about anything. You can switch up the dressings to make it Santa Fe style or Asian too!
I love to barbeque, in fact I barbeque all year long. During the summer when corn on the cob is fresh I love to put it on the barbeque. I shuck it and throw it in the grate. Let it get a little black, not too much. It changes the flavor of the corn slightly and makes it yummy.
Ang
I am going to go with homemade ice cream – you remember, the kind you had to crank to make! We just celebrated a relative’s 100th birthday and we had several different flavors of homemade ice cream. YUM!!!

I love cooked on the grill outside, corn on the cob, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken & ribs. Then there are all the side dishes to go along. I guess that is not a specific recipe, maybe strawberry shortcake.
It isn’t a recipe, but I love fresh sweet corn on the grill, as well as fresh green beans & carrots (picked from my Grandma’s garden).
I love to grill summer corn outside. There’s nothing better! Add a little garlic butter and you are good to go!

One of my favorite things to make during the summer is homemade potato salad. It’s my mom’s recipe and when I make it I am reminded of her.
Cooking is not my thing – I’d much rather cook up something using paper, so instead, I will say that my favorite thing to eat during the summer is my mother’s potato salad. Just potato, egg and mayo from our native New Orleans; I’m visiting her next month and it’s already on my list.
My favorite summertime recipe is chicken salad with fresh tomatoes and/or avocado. yummy!
My hubby and I make smoked pulled pork on a charcoal grill that takes 8 to 10 hours. We make it on a day that we are spending at home doing chores or hobbies, so that we can keep an eye on it to allow it to cook slowly. It makes the entire neighborhood smell good…I’m surprised we don’t have the neighbors lined up at the door by 5pm. It is so delicious…it just melts in your mouth…no need for a knife to cut it.
Fresh tomato quiche; it’s only good when there are fresh, ripe tomatoes from the garden, but then it is absolutely delicious!
Anything BBQ-ed because it means my husband is taking care of dinner! 😉
I love my great grandmother’s recipe for blackberry pudding. She’s no longer with us, but I think of her every time I make it.

Has to be strawberry shortcake or strawberry pie. Always better made with fresh picked strawberries.
Ooh..it would have to be anything you can pop on the grill! Nothing beats cooking on an open fire at the beach. For instance, shrimps marinated in Italian dressing and thrown on the grill..super easy and super yummy!

I make a frozen lemon pie that is lip-smacking GOOD! It has a Graham cracker crust and just the right amount of wonderful lemon tartness!!
Good steak cooked out on the grill!
Lemon Squares, just fit the bill when it comes to summer desserts!
Lots of my family loves strawberry shortcake so I tend to make it for every get-together we have during the summer. I switch out the types of berries I use depending on what is in season. It is always a hit and is so refreshing during the heat of the summer. Love it!
Grilled baby back ribs and anything to do with barbeque!!
A box of fudge brownie mix made according to the directions. Top them with ice cream and caramel. Maybe this is my favorite this summer because I am currently 9 months pregnant!

We actually made 2 batches one year: one hand-cranked and one with the electric ice cream maker. You could tell the difference…not as much air. However, most of the time we are lazy and use the electric one. It wouldn’t be summer without at least one batch of the creamy goodness. 🙂

Of course my favorite summertime dessert of smores would occasionally follow the grilled corn.
