Main Courses
This One Dish Sausage and Roasted Vegetables is easy to make, it only dirties one dish, and it’s loaded
with fresh veggies. I use turkey sausage
to make it even lighter.
One pasta that we do enjoy during
the summer is my Cajun Chicken Pasta.
While it does contain alfredo sauce and cheese, it still manages to feel
lighter, probably because of the fresh tomatoes and green onions sprinkled in. Serve it up with some fresh green beans and
you have yourself a fine summer evening meal!
Desserts
This No Bake Three Ingredients Hershey Pie is always a major crowd pleaser! I got this recipe from Brian’s mom when we
first started dating and it’s been a staple in our house ever since. Like the other recipes, this one is super
simple and quick to make and it’s served nice and cold which is perfect for
those steamy evenings. It’s also not too
rich or filling, so it won’t leave you with too much regret. ;o)
My Blueberry Lemon Drop Cookies are probably one of my favorite cookies EVER and we really only eat
these during the summer, probably because blueberries and lemons are such fun,
happy, summery fruits. These are a bit
more complicated to make than my other recipes, but trust me, they’re well
worth it!
This Sensational Strawberry Pie is a good way to use of all of those strawberries that you picked at the
strawberry patch earlier this summer and it’s also served cold… nice and
refreshing even on the hottest of days!
These Patriotic Strawberries
are also another favorite for all of the summer holidays – Memorial Day, Fourth
of July, and Labor Day. So festive!
Cocktails
During the colder months I typically
stick with red wine, but during the warm weather months, I also love to throw
in an ice cold beer or cocktail. These Vodka Strawberry Lemonades are DIVINE, y’all.
They even have my Momma’s stamp of approval and she’s not a big alcohol
drinker.
These Red, White, & Blue Jello Shots are also fun for summer because, hello, Jello shots! And
again, so festive for the patriotic summer holidays!
That’s my round-up… I hope
