Are you excited about all of the peaches you see at the store and farmer’s market? After waiting for what seemed like forever for peach season to arrive, I have been totally digging it. From pizza to appetizers, I have added peaches into lots of different recipes. My latest: a roasted peach soup.

BBQs, picnics and tailgates are the perfect places to bring this grilled corn salad. This easy corn salad recipe is perfect to make ahead and just grab out of the refrigerator when you are ready to enjoy it.

Our local farmer’s market opened this past weekend. I was super psyched because it means warmer weather is here for awhile and I can get lots of fresh fruits and vegetables easily. I shared this recipe over on Allyson’s blog during her much deserved maternity break last year. I wanted to share it here too {in case you missed it there} so you could pick up a watermelon on your next shopping trip and enjoy this watermelon goat cheese salad. Of course, watermelon is one of THE summer fruits so you can make this salad all summer long.

It is grilling season! Once the weather turns just the slightest bit warm, we break out the grill and it doesn’t get put away until the snow starts to fall. Grilled chicken kabobs are one of our favorite dinners and this mustard balsamic verion wins top billing on our summer menu.

My son is pretty much obsessed with hot dogs right now. He wants them every.single.night. Of course, that gets a little boring for the rest of us so I’ve started adding in different items when I am cooking his hot dogs. One of our current favorite things {and it turns out E’s too} are grilled sausages. While cooking dinner the other night, I came up with these three ideas for sausage recipes.

I have the world’s worst black thumb. Until recently, the only plant I have been able to keep alive is a Christmas cactus that I was given as a gift when my grandfather died years ago. That changed recently when I purchased a hydroponic basil plant because they were out of regular basil. On a whim, I decided to plant it and it has been flourishing ever since. The more it grows, the more I realize that I need to find ways to use it and I collected 21 recipes with basil.

I love ceviche but don’t get the chance to eat it very often. I had been dreaming of it ever since we went on the Miami Culinary tour during Blogher Food so I dragged Mathlete to the Mexican place that I usually order it from. They have the most amazing shrimp ceviche. Well, #sadpandaface, they don’t have it anymore! The only ceviche they have has scallops and I really dislike scallops. So, I decided I was going to make it at home and made spicy tilapia ceviche for dinner one evening.

Every January, our house gets so excited because it is Girl Scout cookie time. By the end of the month, we are all out of the delicious cookies and it is sad faces all around. While shopping in Walmart the other day, I discovered THE BEST thing in the check out aisle. NESTLÉ® CRUNCH® Girl Scouts® Candy Bars which totally allows us to get our Girl Scouts® cookie fix even though it isn’t cookie season. I totally grabbed all of the Thin Mints® bars they had in the aisle and brought them home. We usually freeze our cookies to get them nice and cold but I decided to make Thin Mints® Ice Cream Pie with the candy bars instead.

Starting in about mid-May, there is one thing you know you will find on our weekly menu: recipes for the grill. I love getting outside to cook and the taste of grilled food just can’t be beat. Of course, it helps keep the house cool and we end up with a lot less clean up too which is a big plus. To keep me inspired and give you a little inspiration to get out and grill, I rounded up 21 great recipes for the grill.

Nothing brings the images of summer to life more than lemonade. Picture kids on the corner with their adorable lemonade stands or settling under the beach umbrella with a cool lemonade in your hand. I wanted to capture that feeling in a delicious dessert and came up with these amazing strawberry lemonade cheesecake bars. And by amazing, I mean the best cheesecake bars EVER!
