Girl Chat {July 2018}

Phew what a week it has been! First there was Prime Day on Monday & Tuesday so I was busy posting away (which can explain my absence) and all week the kids have been at camp so I've been taking advantage so I can do all the things!!

Anyway - today is our monthly Girl Chat link up and the topic is all about favorite Summer recipes! YUM! I can't wait to read around!!





I don't know about you, but once Summer hits, my appetite changes. If it's super hot out, I almost have no appetite, so most days I like lighter meals. (which is funny because when I was younger, I was totally that little kid eating chili at the public pool on 100 degree days šŸ˜œ)


Dips

This is one of my FAVORITE summer dips! It's so fresh and delish!

Summer Corn, Avocado & Black Bean Salad is your perfect summer snack! Serve with tortilla chips and try not to eat the entire bowl!

And of course my taco dip is a fave! So easy and so yummy!!

Foil packets are another favorite grill recipe, they're so easy and clean up is a cinch!!

Sausage, Potato and Green Bean Foil Packets - Sausage and veggies packed in easy foil packets. Perfect for camping or a quick dinner! Can be baked/grilled.

One last favorite is TJ's Key Lime Pie - oh my gosh, have you tried?!!! So so good, and that's saying something because I have never really cared for key lime pie!! Pick it up on your next trip!!

So there you have it, a few of my favorite summer time recipes! I'm all about quick & easy in the summer because this season is incredibly busy and I can't be slaving in the kitchen for too long, there's just no time for that!

  6. Cold pasta salads are my FAVORITE but nobody else in my family will eat them. Makes me so sad because I rarely get to eat them!
