There is so much to love about summer, and one of the big things is the delicious summer salads and dishes. Some, of course, can be served all year long, but some are especially delicious in the summer! Here's a sampling of some of my favorites that we have loved this summer ...
Our veggie garden produced an abundant crop of cucumbers this summer, and I cannot even count how many times I used them to make this amazing cucumber salad: Kansas Cucumber Salad. It has been a favorite salad these past few months, for sure.
We love this macaroni salad ... Best Ever Macaroni Salad. You can adapt it to use other add-ins, as well. A good recipe to have on hand for summer days.
This recipe came in very handy for quick summer lunches, especially when we had family visiting us from the east coast: Ham & Cheese Sliders. I like to have these ingredients on hand in the freezer and refrigerator.
I added a new grilled hamburger recipe to my recipe collection this summer ... Classic Hamburgers. This has now become our favorite way to grill hamburgers. It features a mixture of dry spices that you sprinkle on the shaped hamburgers right before grilling. So very good!
My dear hubby and I love this delicious muffin recipe so much ... Zucchini Muffins! We love to keep these muffins on hand in the freezer to pull out when needed. In fact, I baked 12 dozen of these muffins this past summer, all made with zucchini from our little veggie garden.
We were so very blessed to have my two brothers with their sweet wives here for a visit earlier this month. One night we enjoyed a delicious summer meal together, with some of our own family joining us. Two of the items that I served were: Pulled Pork sandwiches, and a Classic Coleslaw. Together with corn-on-the-cob from a farmer's market in the area, and also the baked beans and fruit salad that two of our daughters brought, it was the perfect summer meal!
And now, we'll soon be entering the season for the equally delicious foods of the autumn season. I am so thankful for the beautiful and nutritious foods that God blesses us with, for each season of the year.
