Salmon Teriyaki
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love salmon teriyaki. It’s a sweet and delicious Japanese favorite, and most kids will love it.
Minestrone Soup
A warm bowl of minestrone is the perfect comfort food. I love minestrone because it’s a cold weather soup that has all the flavor of summer vegetables.
Welsh Rabbit (Rarebit)
Welsh Rabbit, or Rarebit, as most people know it, is essentially a sort of open-faced grilled cheese sandwich. If you say “rabbit,” instead of rarebit, most people will correct you. Unless they are Welsh (like my step-father), or into etymology and know better.
BBT: Bacon, Basil and Tomato Sandwich
This is a very basic, classic sandwich; perfect on a hot summer day. The twist — we’re using fresh basil instead of lettuce. So instead of a BLT, this is a BBT: Bacon, Basil and Tomato.
Ahi Poke
Ahi poke (pronounced “POH-keh”) is a classic Hawaiian food. I love making ahi poke in the summertime, because it’s nice and cool. No need to heat up the oven.
Easy Potato Salad
Potato salad is one of my favorite summertime dishes. Perfect for a barbecue or garden party, I love potato salad with baked beans and grilled hot dogs or cheeseburgers.
Italian Chopped Salad
One of my favorite summertime salads is an Italian chopped salad. We enjoy this at least once a week in the summer.
