Summer

Summer recipes have a lot of heavy lifting to do - they may need to be no-cook; they may need to be make-ahead; they may need to be easy to make; and easy to eat.  And all that without sacrificing flavour!

There are tried and true recipes here like no-cook Chilled  Spanish  Garlic Soup or Chilled Cherry Soup.

Pickle Brine Chicken is a great make-ahead option you can BBQ later.

Grilled quesadillas or BBQ Shrimp Tacos are easy to make.

And let's turn that macaroni salad into a Seafood Pasta Salad- one of the most popular recipes on the blog!

Take advantage of fresh summer fruit with this delicious Blueberry Crumble Pie or beat the heat with a No Bake Vanilla Ice Box Cake.

Oh...and did you know you can make ice cream at home - with no special equipment and often with only 4 ingredients?  Stock your pantry and it will be easier than going to the store for it!
