Summer Recipes

I love strawberry season. Well, I love berry season in general. When they are the height of freshness, their flavor is just so amazing. I’ve made lots of different types of strawberry cakes and desserts over the years, but never a strawberry angel food cake. I decided it was time to give it a try.

Its watermelon season. We love watermelon in our family. We generally just eat it in chunks, but every now and then, I look for a new way to use it. Recently, I’ve seen a lot of watermelon-infused water recipes and other fruit-infused waters. Although I’ve seen it done several different ways, I never saw a recipe that really excited me. I searched high and low and finally combined a couple of recipes to make, what I consider, the perfect watermelon water or watermelon agua fresca recipe.

One of our favorite (and popular) summer recipes is Mexican Street Corn. We love grilling corn in the summer because the kids love it and it just feels like summer. The great thing about this elote in a cup recipe is that it takes traditional street corn and makes it much more portable and perfect to take to bbqs or other summer parties by making Mexican street corn in a cup.

Are you looking for a refreshing and citrusy drink to enjoy on a warm summer day? Look no further than the grapefruit spritz! This simple and delicious cocktail is perfect for sipping on the patio or serving at your next brunch.
