As you can tell by my lack of posts, this Summer has been a sweet but busy time. Something had to go and this summer it was cooking. But I do still love to sit down as a family and enjoy our meal (even if it is fried eggs on crusty wheat bread with Parmesan cheese....one of my favorites or Chicken-pot-pie from Whole Foods).

Favorite dinner- I love to have corn on the cob on the grill. :) Don't husk the corn! All you do is give them a quick dip in a Ziploc bag full of water then move them onto the grill. Unhusk them and enjoy the sweet steamy corn on the cob in about 10 minutes. Yummy! ;)Alyssa of Boston Bee
ReplyDeleteMy favorite dinner is one I don't make haha. Actually I love to cook and I just try to cook nightly after work. I do a lot of freezer meals. Not the fancy gourmet food from before I had children, but healthy hot meals nightly.
ReplyDeleteA family summer favorite in our house is shrimp bowls. So fun to add fresh seasonal veggies like avocados, tomatoes & onions over a bed of greens. Add some goat cheese and a bit of ginger dressing on top, it's delicous. Great part is everyone can add whatever and however much they want. Would love to serve them up on these adorable new plates!
ReplyDeleteA favorite family summer dinner in our house is shrimp bowls. Saute shrimp with seasoning, lemon and garlic then serve on a bed of fresh greens. The best part is all the toppings which we love avocados, tomatoes, onions, goat cheese and finish it off with a little ginger dressing. The family can choose how much or what toppings they prefer. Only thing better would be to serve on these adorable new plates!
ReplyDeletetruth be told, we have the most fabulous authentic mexican restaurant around the corner. their fajitas are my absolute favorite!
ReplyDeleteas far as what i cook, we're big roasted veggies and grilled tilapia and shrimp people.
love the pieces from coton colors!!
Our favorite summer supper is corn on the cob, tomato mozzarella & pesto salad, crusty bread and something on the grill!
ReplyDeleteOur current summer favorite is a big salad with avacado, corn, beans, red onion and a lime dressing! So refreshing, and cool- no oven required! Sometimes we'll add grilled sausage or chorizo on the side, but it's great as a veggie meal also!
ReplyDeleteOooo fun and beauties!
ReplyDeleteFavorite dinner.... Really? Just one???
My absolute never fail go-to is some form of chicken with rice and broccoli or asparagus or artichokes.
I know that's so boring but it is easy and always yummy.
Now, if someone is going to sear a filet for me.... yum!
those are cute! fave dinner : spaghetti and meatballs!
ReplyDeletehave a great wknd!~
well my fave thing that i'm eating right now are tons of salads. it's been so hot that is all i want to eat. a thick slice of bread and small glass of wine make it perfect for dinner.

I love grilled flank steak and corn salad! Tastes like summer!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite dinner hands down is some kind of pasta salad in the summer with lots of good veg. In the winter more pasta with heavy cream :)

Stir fry! It's easy and gets my daughter to actually eat vegetables. And avocado. And tacos. And Pizza. I like to eat.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite summer dinner dish is FISH TACOS!
ReplyDeleteFind the freshest white fish: Chilean Bass is my fave and grill it (with a tad salt and pepper)
Use soft white corn tortillas (heated slightly)
Fresh cilantro, avocado, salsa verde and fresh cut lime wedges.
So fresh and easy to make too!
I love my Mom's homemade red gravy ( she reminds me that if meat is in a sauce, it becomes gravy) these are so much fun and would be a fab addition to my new home :-)
ReplyDeleteA simple steak and cheese sandwich. All I have to cook is the steak and melt the provolone and onions on top. Then put mayo on sub rolls and i'm done. I'm a terrible cook and I hate cooking. This is the only dish that my husband and 3 and 5 year old actually like!! Maybe I should have better looking plates so my meals look better!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite dinner is Thanksgiving dinner. My mom cooks! Actually, any dinner my mom makes is the best(and, yes, I am a grown up!):)
ReplyDeleteI love homemade oven-fried chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans and lemon pie for dessert.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite meal is veggies from the garden...fresh tomatoes, squash casserole, fresh limas over rice, and corn bread. Yum!
ReplyDeleteMy family loves to have breakfast for dinner. Sometimes I do Belgian waffles with turkey bacon, and we also enjoy omelettes with various ingredients. Always a hit with everyone.
ReplyDeletemy favorite dinner is love lasagna. For a quick meal, I love quesadillas.
ReplyDeleteThat red chevron pattern is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love to cook, but when it is hot and I don't feel like it, some cheese, good bread, salami or charcuterie, and some fruit elevates "not cooking" to "romantic picnic." A bottle of wine helps too!
We had fried eggs tonight! Subsitute the parm for chedder cheese!!

Oh, I be happy to get any of these cheerful pieces! My girls and I have a tradition of chocolate chip pancakes and sausage for dinner when daddy is out of town for work. The novelty of it lifts all our spirits when he is away.
ReplyDeleteA summer family favorite meal is hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill. That smokey flavor is great with anything cooked on the grill!
ReplyDeleteI love grilled chicken and Greek salad this time of year...I agree, too hot to be in the kitchen!
ReplyDeleteI love to have round steak and gravy with rice and limas!
ReplyDeleteI cook a lot (but for sure less in the summer). It is hard to say what my favorite is because I am always trying new recipes (thank you pinterest). But one of our long time faves is shrimp sauteed with chopped fresh roma tomatoes, spinach and green onion, white wine and lemon juice served over gluten free pasta. So good. It is easy, healthy and the kids gobble it up.
ReplyDeleteI also love when I try something new and everyone likes it like last nights dijon chicken with mushrooms. Oh how I am crushing on those green chevron plates:)
Glad your summer is going well.
With a plethora of sweet basil this summer, I've been making lots of different whole grain pasta dishes with balsamic vinaigrette & basil and an assortment of fresh veggies like tomatoes, yellow peppers, etc. basically, whatever I have in the fridge that's colorful gets thrown in there :) Love your blog! Thanks for the giveaway chance!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite light summer meal right now is tilapia dipped in almond meal and sauteed in just a little coconut oil - absolutely fabulous. Pair with Israeli couscous and a salad!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite dinner is a Lebanese dish that I make with a name I don't know how to pronounce. LOL. My family went to a festival one summer and I bought the cookbook and it has been a favorite ever since. It has peas, tomato sauce, onions, ground beef and wonderful spices and its served over rice.
