Summer food doesn’t have to be complicated. Around here, we’re all about meals that are fresh, easy, and make sense in the heat. Whether you’re cooking in a small kitchen like me or just want to simplify your week, these are the recipes I return to again and again. They’re light, flavorful, and flexible enough to fit into your weekday dinner schedule.
Bright, fresh, and quick to pull together. I love this one for lunch meal prep or as a dinner side with grilled chicken. Find the recipe HERE.
This soup is packed with flavor and somehow still feels light. Top it with chips, avocado, lime, and whatever you’ve got on hand. Find the recipe HERE.
This is a fairly recent dish for us, but it quickly has become one of our favorites. Find the recipe HERE.
Trust me: this one’s a hit even if you’re not a zucchini person. Moist, rich, and just sweet enough, it’s a great way to utilize those ripe zucchinis. Find the recipe HERE.
This dessert just tastes like summer. It’s the kind of treat that doesn’t weigh you down—just sweet, juicy strawberries in a simple glaze with a flaky crust. Perfect for slow evenings on the porch or an easy bring-along for gatherings. Find the recipe HERE.
If this description of a slower summer speaks to you, I’ll be sharing a series of blog posts to help you gently build a sense of rhythm into your summer days. Each post is practical and simple—just small steps to help you feel a little more rooted in this beautifully loose season.
If you try one of these, I hope it brings a little peace and pleasure to your day. Good food doesn’t need to be fussy. With the right outlook, even cooking in the heat can feel grounding, creative, and full of joy.
Keep it simple,
-Ashley 💛
