The first day of Summer was June 20 and I have thinking about all of my favourite summer recipes! Summer has to be the best time of the year as it’s just packed full of fresh produce and of course the weather is perfect for outdoor activities like grilling and picnics! My weekly trek down to the farmers market is like an adventure where I get to see what new and wonderful things arrived and I often have a difficult time choosing just what to get! Below you will find a collection of some of my favourite summer recipes including those using some of summers bounty and some for outdoor cooking and eating!

These all look amazing!! I love summer foods!
Looks great…. but eek, you have a typo in your photo! Sumer. Unless that is a new word. 😉
Only a few more days and the celebrating begins.
I love this post, so many great options to try!
These recipes made me so hungry after days of hanging out at the hospital with my son and his wife who were having a baby. Made me want to run to the kitchen and get cooking!
Great ideas…I'm so going to try some new things!!! Thanks
