All I can say is YUM!

So, I thought I would put together a post about a lot of our family favorite summer recipes... Recipes like:



Grilled Summer Salad aka party in your mouth. This yummy side dish screams flavors of summer. We are actually going to have this for lunch today. YUM!



Fruit Pizza is just perfect for any get together. Super sweet and made magnificent with fresh berries and kiwi.

GOODe Bruschetta is one of my favorite recipes of all time!!! Forget appetizer, I just want it as my meal. That means I can eat the whole plate of it--right?

Aunt Mary's Marynade is our favorite marinade. It is so simple, so flavorful and sooo easy!

Italian Stuffed Chicken with GOODe Marinara and Angel Hair Pasta involves my favorite fresh marinara sauce and is beyond delicious!



Zucchini Bars are a childhood favorite of mine and the PERFECT solution to a garden full of zucchini.



Easy Baked Beans are a staple for our summertime table. They are quick and a perfect side-kick to just about anything from the grill.



And last but not least, we just love to take Favorite Corn Casserole to summer gatherings.

So what else do you guys look forward to relishing in the kitchen or on the back porch grill while summer lasts?
