Family Fun Friday: Simple Summer Meals

Celebrate with Food!

summer meals, simple dishes, simple recipes, family food

More with Less Mom’s post June Real Food Plan is just full of flexible recipes. She has a great system for meal planning that reminds you to use the more perishable  ingredients first.  I try to do this when I meal plan for each week.

Life of a Southern Mom simplifies this week’s meal plan by giving you Loaded Potato and Buffalo Chicken Casserole. This is a one dish meal with very little hands-on time. It sounds like a real crowd pleaser—her readers share in the comments that their families love the recipe!

Want a hearty breakfast option? You could make Chorizo and Sweet Potato Hash ahead of time and have a great meal to grab before running out the door to summer camp or swimming lessons. From This Kitchen Table even gives a chorizo recipe option, so you can make your own healthier version.

Speaking of more nutritious choices, Skinny Fitalicious created a Lightened Up Chicken Parmesan recipe that is gluten free and low calorie; it sounds just delicious!  This lighter dish is a great option for hot summer nights 🙂

Speaking of heat, Nepamom shares her recipe for Italian Pasta Salad and 10 Tips to Beat the Heat.  This is a cool dish for this hot time of year, but I’d also love to throw in some fresh veggies to add some crunch and fresh flavor!

Talk about fresh! This is the season for fresh corn—just today it was on special at our neighborhood Safeway. Just in time, The Gracious Wife shares 23 Amazing Corn Recipes (everything from salads to salsas, or straight to the grill). In addition to the amazing flavor combinations, I love the visual appeal of these recipes (maybe because corn-yellow is such a cheery color?).

When the first day of school is also the day your When the first day of school is also the day your firstborn drives herself to college, it’s a lot. We moved her stuff into her dorm last week. Today she got up early to say goodbye to Dad (too early! Not pictured 😂), her brother, her doggo, her piano, and her momma. Before she left, she made blueberry scones to share with her little bro @sjoshlafont —they homeschool and relocated together, went to @westminsteroakmtn together, and have shared a love of music, Legos, superheroes (and villains), Transformers, and so much more. She played my favorite song. She even made banana bread to bring to her new roomie. @graciethenerd You are my little nut brown hare, and I love you to the moon and back. Auburn University is a better place because you are there! ❤️
