It’s unreal that the official end of summer is almost here — Labor Day!
For the holiday, I decided to round up and repost a lot of my Fourth of July recipes content, since it’s all geared toward grilling, and that’s what many of us will be doing this coming weekend!
In addition, I wanted to share my step mom’s Bacon Cheese Dip recipe with you (pictured), which I blogged about for Parade last year, in honor of the holiday. As I said in my Parade blog, it’s the perfect Labor Day appetizer dip because it offers a hint of fall, football-season flavor, while still being a great summertime dip. Give it a try! (more…)

Celebrate National Lemonade Day (August 20) with this cool blueberry lemonade recipe — spiked with a shot of vodka!
First, you’ll want to prep your fresh blueberries by freezing some overnight. Then, when you mix your beverage, the blueberries will act as mini ice cubes, without watering down your drink. Genius!

Now that we’re heading into the dog days of summer, I thought it was time to round up a helpful and refreshing list of some of my favorite summer drinks.
First up is The Kitchenability Arnold Palmer…with a Twist! I blogged about this recipe for Parade Magazine. It blends my recipe for Mint Iced Tea with my recipe for Strawberry Lemonade, which are both amazing summer drinks on their own. Blended together, it just adds delicious to delicious, making a drink that’s just doubly amazing. Try it!
Also, if you are an iced tea fan on its own, you must check out (more…)

The jalapeños in these sliders give what might otherwise be a traditional recipe more kick and flavor. I usually deseed my jalapeños, but you can always leave a few in if you want to make the recipe spicier.
Another trick I like is to grate and mix the cheese in with the meat; the result is a much juicier burger than you’d get by placing a slice of cheese on top. (more…)

Try this grilled chicken recipe at your next BBQ.
The sweetness of the pineapple blends nicely with the spice of the jalapenos, making this a seriously magical chicken marinade.
The recipe below makes enough for four chicken breasts, but it’s easy enough to adjust it to fit the size of your cookout. (more…)

On these hot summer days, I suggest pairing a fresh summer salad with one of the following cold soup recipes for lunch or dinner. Leave the oven off and instead whip up something cool and refreshing!
One of my favorite cold summer soups is gazpacho. I blogged about this refreshing Gazpacho recipe for Parade Magazine (pictured above), which I suggest you try. Gazpacho is especially seasonally amazing because of the sweetness of the summertime tomatoes. But, there are several other excellent cold soup ideas out there.
I did some browsing and found the following cold soup recipes that sound amazing and I’d like to try: (more…)
