We are in the height of summer weather here. Even though the kids go back to school in two weeks, every day still feels like summer with the 100+ degree temperatures. Instead of complaining about the heat {which I will definitely admit to doing}, I think it is better to embrace it and make some of the best summer recipes I can find. 

This list includes everything from delicious salads to keep you cool during the summer to tasty desserts that are filled with summer produce like berries and citrus. Each one will make you say “I love summer” even if it is hotter than the surface of the sun outside! Now that I’ve got your mouthwatering, I guess you want to see what I chose as the best summer recipes!
