30 Summer Recipes from Appetizers, Meats, Desserts & More

Yippee!  Summer is finally here.  School is out this week in our county and I know that makes some folks happy when the traffic around here is a little less during the brief summer months that the kids are out of school.  Oh, for the good ole’ days when we were out of school for 3 whole months and didn’t go back until after Labor Day.  I can still remember the excitement of the last days of school.  Those days are over and now they get out a little over 2 months and back to school in August.  But, I know there are more breaks during the year that we didn’t get, so it’s a trade-off.

Food is something we all think about constantly, so I thought to kick off the summer and Memorial Day holiday coming up, I’d ask some blog friends for their favorite summer recipes and wow, did they deliver!  I have 30 fantastic looking recipes, perfect for summer entertaining, all the way from appetizers, meats, side dishes, desserts and beverages.  I hope these will inspire you to get busy and plan a party!  Get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather for this season and this summer!

    What a great post, these dishes look so tempting. Can’t wait to get going on some of these summertime goodies.
    Our children get 6 weeks summer holiday over here from the end of July. It seems a lot, and they do get half term weeks off which perhaps yours don’t get. I love my granny days in the hols!

    Hi Rhoda, Thanks so much for sharing my Caprese Crostini Skewers. Unfortunately the link is wrong and it directs back to one of your posts. Here’s the correct link – I’d love for that to be corrected. http://www.carolynshomework.com/2014/08/good-taste-caprese-crostini-skewers.html
    Thanks so much.
