It’s time for a little round-up of the BEST variety– summer recipes I am living for these days.
Ones made with all the fresh produce, simple ingredients, quick prep. Because we have other things to do right now than spend all evening in the kitchen. Like soak up slower times in the sun and sink our toes in the grass.
These are 30 of my tried-and-true, go-to summer bevvies (mocktail versions, smoothies and boozy ones alike), salads, apps, sides and main dishes that we love around here. If you’re looking for simple, whole, healthy eats to celebrate these sunnier days– here you have it.
Dig in, sister. And happy summer to you!
