The Heat is ON!

Here are 10 Summer recipes that seriously scream yummy all over.

If like me, you’ve already been hanging out at your grill, sharing good times and making new *almost* summer memories. I’m all about summer food and love love love finding new ways to up the flavor and trying out even better ways on how to perfect that oh so perfect burger.

If you are wondering, my preference for cooking during those roasting hot days, is on an old fashioned charcoal grill. Don’t get me wrong, I do find just about any kind of grill a work of perfection, but the flavor of a charcoal grill is hard to beat. I will cook almost any thing on a grill, except churn ice cream, I’ve found that one impossible. Although, I might cold smoke some and I just might be very soon!

Summer Recipes + Friends & Family = Great Memories

So now, here’s my shortlist of what epitomizes the best summer fare, from icy cold drinks to hot ridiculously delicious meaty burgers and let’s not forget those must make sides to finish off the list.

Okay, so this is the best ever Pulled Pork Sandwich piled high with caramelized onions. 

I can’t imagine a summer cookout without Baked Beans. 

This is a bodacious Smokey Spice Rub, perfect for adding some oomph to most any meat. 

Hushpuppies! Oh yes, and oh yum, they are a must for any fish fry and love to hang out at a BBQ.

This is one of my favorite BBQ sauces and goes well smeared over a meaty rack of ribs or chicken, Key Lime BBQ Sauce.

My goodness, I’m needing this Mushroom Swiss Burger now! A classic.

So quick and easy to make, oh my this is some good stuff, Shrimp Cocktail.

This Roasted Corn Salad has a lot of incredible flavors going on.

Who loves a good Cherry Limeaid!?! So refreshing and will be sure to put some smiles on lots of faces.

The southern favorite, Sweet Iced Tea! You’re welcome y’all.

Enjoy your summer, and make lots of great memories.
