Tennessee Cornbread Salad
This Tennessee Cornbread Salad is a favorite recipe of mine! I had heard of cornbread salad but never tried making it. When I discovered a recipe at Krusteaz called Tennessee Cornbread Salad, it looked really good, so I decided to try it out. You don’t have to use a cornbread mix in this recipe–you can use your…

Savory Zucchini Pie
If you live near a farmer’s market, you’ll probably agree how great it is to be able to buy fresh produce, much of it organic, to use in summer recipes. Zucchini is a veggie I use a lot, and here’s a really good Savory Zucchini Pie that I found in a cookbook called Farm Fresh…

Mango-Jalapeno Salsa
Are you staying cool during the hot weather we’ve been having? This is the time of year when I probably eat the most fruit. I love all kinds of fruit and that’s what I like about this Mango-Jalapeno Salsa–there’s a nice variety of fruit—mango, pineapple, and apple—–mixed in with some diced tomato and red bell…

Chicken BLT Salad with Buttermilk Dressing
This is a great, easy salad you can put together in very little time, especially if you make the homemade Buttermilk Dressing in advance. It’s perfect for hot days when you don’t feel like cooking. You do need to have some chopped cooked chicken, but you can even buy that pre-cooked, or use rotisserie chicken…

Rainbow Fruit Salad and Vanilla Pudding Dip
Fruit salad is so good and refreshing during the hot summer months! And this Rainbow Fruit Salad is so colorful, it’s a feast for the eyes! I actually made this fruit arrangement for a photo I did for Mary & Martha back in early spring, which was used on a recipe card. The fruit is arranged…

Blueberry Zucchini Muffins
I don’t have a veggie garden of my own this summer, but friends and coworkers have been so nice to share from their gardens with me! That’s how I ended up with some zucchini. Since I also had fresh blueberries just waiting to be used, I decided to make these muffins that I first made several years…

Sweet Pickle Deviled Eggs
I’ve made deviled eggs several different ways, but hadn’t ever made them with sweet pickle relish. I know lots of people make deviled eggs that way, so I decided to give it a try. I found that the pickle relish gives these eggs a good flavor and the pickle taste is mild, so you don’t need to worry about…

Chocolate Zucchini Snack Cake
If you are a chocolate-lover, here’s a recipe you need to try! This Chocolate Zucchini Snack Cake is a cross between a cake-like brownie and a chocolate cake. It’s so simple, it just has semi-sweet mini chocolate chips sprinkled on top instead of frosting. The zucchini makes the cake so very moist–and I think it’s amazing that you can’t even tell…

Orange-Almond Muffins
Summer is the perfect time for making citrus-flavored muffins, like these Orange-Almond Muffins! They have a great orange flavor, and sliced almonds give them a light, nutty taste. They’re good without any toppings, but if you’re making these muffins for a brunch or tea, you may want to fancy them up a bit with the Simple…

Cheesy Zucchini Cornbread
I’m a big fan of cornbread and this Cheesy Zucchini Cornbread is perfect for summer, when there seems to be no shortage of zucchini at farmer’s markets and in most homegrown gardens! It’s a savory, cheesy cornbread, flavored with Italian seasoning and a hint of garlic and onion. Cheddar cheese is mixed in the batter and sprinkled on top.
