NBR: Favorite Summer Recipes
My favorite recipes tend to be a bit heavy and more suited to Fall and Winter. I do love this Cilantro Lime Shrimp. What are some of your favorite recipes to bring out during the Summer months?

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."

Maple Mustard Chicken on the grill or stovetop that I usually pair with a summer Veggie Tian
Enchilada Chicken stew in the crockpot. I break out the crockpot a lot in the summer.
Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers I made it just last night actually.
Kabobs on the grill is something we have probably every other week in the summer.
I make macaroni salad (made with rice noodle macaroni and canola oil mayo since most mayo is made with soy) for any summer cookout gathering. I don't have a recipe for that. I wing it.
I also make chicken salad a lot during the summer. I prefer the fruity kind over the savory, so I throw sliced green apples, green grapes, pecan or walnuts, diced celery, and shredded chicken together and then mix with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and a little bit of mayo to taste.
If I do a hot pasta dish, I lighten it up and use veggie pastas instead of rice pasta. Zoodles are great for that.

I made something like this a few weeks ago, it was delicious!

This is one of my favorites: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/beach-shrimp-10000001624458/
But really we just throw everything on the grill. Grilled Asparagus and peppers are my favorite.
I love making this corn bruschetta.

I pretty much like to make anything on the grill. We started doing grilled salads last year actually grilling the lettuce and it was really good.
