• Classic Deviled Eggs

  One of my favorite summer dishes is the classic deviled egg. In fact, if I had to choose between a deviled egg and a piece of chocolate, I think I just might choose the deviled egg! And that says a lot, because I’m a big chocolate-lover!

  If you’re wanting a summery snack and a change from your typical salsa, you’ll have to try out this Blueberry Salsa! I found the recipe at SouthernLiving.com.

• No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

  It sure has been hot the last few weeks, and who feels like baking when it’s so hot?

• Strawberry-Walnut Spinach Salad

  This easy-to-make salad is tossed with a homemade honey-sweetened dressing that is so good! Although this is a spinach salad, you can substitute your favorite mixed salad greens for the spinach if you like. It’s a good and healthy way to enjoy fresh strawberries in the summertime!

• Lemon Almond Bread

  I like to make lemon-flavored treats in the summer—lemons just seem to give everything a light, fresh taste! This Lemon Almond Bread is like a pound cake…rich and dense, with almonds in the lemony batter, and more sprinkled on top of the lemon glaze. So, if you like lemons and almonds, you’re in for a…
