Purchase food fresh foods that are grown locally and are in season. We love fresh local strawberries, rhubarb, peaches, asparagus, corn on the cob, green beans, and more.
The goal is not to heat up the house by turning on the oven or cooking something for hours on the cooktop. Instead, turn to your grill. Grilled chicken, pork chops, salmon, shish kabobs, and hamburgers can be simple to make and delicious.
Have cool sides like a crisp green salad, fruit salad, coleslaw, broccoli salad, or any of your favorites. BLTs are tasty when local tomatoes are ripe for a quick dinner. Turn to ice cream pies, cones, or sundaes for dessert.

So many to choose from! I think the lemon lime cake might be where I’d start!
Ooh … for me it’s a toss up between the corn chowder and the lemon lime cake. But there are at least half a dozen that I’d love to try!
What a great and AMAZING round up of late summer favorites.
These are so good that I would glad eat them in the middle of February, during a snowstorm!
Mmmm….the Bruschetta chicken followed by Peach Cobbler has my vote! 🙂
What an awesome roundup! That lemon lime layer cake – OMG!
What a fun collection! I am not ready for summer to end because for me I feel like it never started! And oh the food. Hard to let that go!
It all looks great and I’d have a hard time deciding which one to make first, it could be the sausage potato skillet. School here starts the end of August, and it has been a way too fast summer!
What a wonderful collection of summer recipes. I love I wish I could have mango curry chicken skewers for dinner tonight. And many be a big slice of that lime cake for dessert! Have a lovely weekend. 🙂
What a beautiful collection of recipes Liz, thank you so much. I am quite surprised that your kids are back at school, ours generally don’t go back until the Tuesday after Labour Day!
