What to Think About When Prepping Your Menu for Summer

  • Lots of seasonal produce: If you’ve been holding out on summer produce all winter long – now is their time to shine. I love all the delicious recipes highlighting fresh zucchini, bell peppers, crisp cucumbers, and juicy tomatoes. And fruits like watermelon, strawberries, peaches, and cherries bring so much flavor to both sweet and savory recipes.
  • Kid-friendly meals: Set yourself up for summertime success by having a good list of your family’s favorite summer recipes. Your school-age kids are home for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (and endless snacks!) – so be prepared with quick and nutritious meals that will keep hunger at bay.
  • Light but satisfying: Just because I prioritize summer fruits and veggies, doesn’t mean I’m left hungry. The best summer recipes strike the perfect balance of fresh ingredients and wholesome nutrients that will keep you feeling full longer and energized without the heavy feeling.
  • Simple and convenient: Out with the soups and stews and in with lots of big, fresh salads, hearty sides, and grilled dishes. I’m all about easy summer recipes that are quick to prepare and require minimal cooking time. Because I would much rather spend time lounging at the pool instead of sweating in the kitchen.
  • Grilling recipes: Grilling isn’t just for big gatherings and parties, take your cooking outside even on weeknights. Grill up some meats and veggies in the garden. I prefer to use my outdoor grill as much as I can during the summer. If that’s you too, be sure to check out my roundup of grilling recipes.

Tips for Making Cooking in the Summer So Easy!

  1. Get your prep done in the morning. Get ahead of the game and keep cool at the same time! Get your chopping and cooking done during the cooler parts of the day.
  2. Dust off your small kitchen appliances. Whether it’s your slow cooker, pressure cooker, rice cooker, or toaster oven, smaller appliances let you cook food without heating up the whole kitchen. Perfect for summer!
  3. Use herbs on everything! This is my trick for getting dishes to pop with flavor and color. Herbs are at their best in the summer months because they are vibrant and rich in flavors and aromas. Mix and match varieties, like basil and parsley, and use them on all kinds of meats and veggies.
  4. Scale up condiments. Double batch dips like homemade ranch or cucumber yogurt sauce and keep them on hand for simple snacks like veggie trays or pita chips. Most salad dressings can last for weeks in the fridge (as long as they don’t have perishable ingredients like shallots and garlic), helping you make easy summer recipes quickly.
  5. Stay hydrated. Refresh and cool off with homemade lemonadechia frescamint lemonade, or raspberry iced tea. And don’t forget seasonal fruits and veggies that are naturally high in water like watermelon and cucumbers.

Summertime is here, and I want to help you fuel your body with refreshing and delicious feel-good recipes that will keep you cool even on the hottest of days. There’s something about this time of the year that brings out the natural flavors of fresh, seasonal produce and makes meal prep feel effortless (huge props to my backyard grill!). From light but satisfying dishes to vibrant salads and grilling favorites, these summer recipe ideas will become your favorites that you’ll be coming back to year after year.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some good make-ahead summer dishes?

Some of the best summer recipes that can be prepped ahead of time include pasta salads, potato salads, quinoa salads, and even some fresh green salads that are kept separate from the dressing until ready to serve.

How can I make my summer dishes healthier?

I like to focus on including lots of fresh fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, berries, and leafy greens. They are full of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and some even pack in a good amount of natural hydration (looking at you, watermelon!). Go for recipes that use grilling or roasting instead of frying and use lighter dressings and marinades. And a fruit salad can easily be served as a dessert after a BBQ.

How can I easily add flavor to my summer dishes?

Instantly amp up the flavor of any meal by garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or green onions. Depending on the recipe, you can also add a little bit of lemon zest and squeeze some juice to brighten the flavors. Minced garlic also adds incredible flavor to any dish. Lastly, don’t underestimate this kitchen staple: table salt. A pinch of salt is often enough to enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
