It may not be official on the calendar, but summer unofficially starts Memorial Day weekend.

Our plans involve lots of house stuff and time in garden.

Definitely will be working up an appetite.  In anticipation, I have stocked the fridge with the ingredients for some of our summertime favorites.

Thought you might be in the market or at the market looking for delicious recipes to serve up this weekend, so I am sharing our top three summertime favorites.

Looking for a taste sensation in a bun?  I've got you wrapped up...

Need a crowd pleaser side dish? Chips move aside...

How about a dessert that has everything? Look no further...

Summertime Favorite Recipes

Salty, tangy, sweet with a snap.  

Let me introduce you to my family's favorite hot dog, Cheddar Leek & Apple Haute Dogs.

A mere dog in a bun will never cut the mustard with you again.

Be prepared to make a second bowl of my crowd pleaser pasta salad

The first one will be empty before you can say Summertime Pasta Salad with Bacon.

But don't put it out too fast, let the flavors meld.

There is bacon...need I go on?

Can't decide ~ cake, ice cream or pie.

Why not all three?

Great tastes do taste great(er) together.

Now you know what we will be eating this weekend, how about you?

Would love to hear about your favorite summertime foods.
