There is something about cooking in the Summer that hits different. I love all the fresh produce, sourcing it from the farmer’s market, and grilling/smoking. Below are some of the recipes I’m most looking forward to making this summer.
I don’t really follow a recipe for cheeseburgers but I do like to make an In-N-Out style cheeseburger. How I make mine is very similar to the recipe I’ve linked.
I made this smoked salmon recently and loved it (and that is coming from someone who doesn’t typically like salmon). A lot of smoker recipes tend to involve red meat, which I personally try to consume in moderation, so I love that I can make a healthy recipe on the smoker. I’m looking forward to making this again soon.
It’s just not summer without making BBQ chicken at least once.
This smoked brisket recipe is always a hit. I love this recipe because the prep work is done the night before and takes little involvement the day of cooking it which leaves me plenty of free time to make sides and dessert.
Speaking of dessert, I have never made any crisp before and I think it’s about time. I love utilizing fresh berries this time of year. I’m planning on making this strawberry crisp for dessert on the 4th of July.
This recipe embodies so many things I love about cooking in the summer like grilling, fresh tomatoes, and fresh basil.
The stuffed peppers recipe in this cookbook is one of my favorite stuffed pepper recipes because of it’s unique take. Rather than cooking the stuffed peppers with the filling inside it calls to roast the peppers and then fill it with a room temp filling which makes it feel more appropriate for summer. It also calls for an incredibly fresh and bright dressing to top the peppers with.
