That title is seductive right?
I think we all have changes in our eating habits when the
seasons change, that’s pretty much a given. I thought it would be fun to talk
about some of the things that I have really been stuffing my face with lately.

Fresh fruit. Can this be any more obvious? I have already
been strawberry picking, and am seriously looking forward to going again for
some blue berries, black caps, and raspberries. To me homemade smoothies are a
winter thing, when frozen fruit is as good as your are gonna get, now that everything
is fresh and delicious I could stuff myself ever single meal with just fruit.

Ice cream. Ha like this needs an explanation. Death by
chocolate is my absolute favorite.

Tuna. I mean it can’t get much easier or cheaper if you ask
me. Plus I don’t have to cook it, which with my teeny tiny kitchen that has
massive windows to let the summer heat in that is a good thing. Lately I am in
love with this tuna apple salad recipe
that I kind of just tossed together, the freshness from the apple, and the
crunch in the nuts makes it an awesome summer lunch.

Kabobs. I mean nothing really says summer more than a
deliciously grilled kabob. There are about a million different ways you can
make kabobs, by switching up what’s on your stick, or the marinade that it’s
made in. Here is my it’s-hot-and-I’m-lazy pesto kabob recipe.

Boos. Don’t get me wrong I like boos all year round, but
there is something about a super cold alcoholic beverage by the lake that just
makes me say ahhh. Check out some of my favorites in this post.

Grilled Sweet Potato. It’s so easy, and a perfect healthy side dish that is reminiscent of its fried bretheren. Directions: peel, slice, plop (on the grill), cook (till soft, 5-10 mins), and sprinkle with salt.
What are some of your favorite summer foods?
I like to combine my favorites. Fresh fruits ON my ice cream must be my favorite summer treat, haha! ^^ And indeed, I always go for lighter foods during the summer. Think cold pasta (often with tuna!), fish dishes and salad mixes with grill / bbq meat 😉
Mango, Ice-cream and fish is all I love in summer! Woah, potato is my food love!Areeba @ Aree With Umbrella
