0

As the days get longer and the nights grow warmer, it’s time to put away the crockpot, bust out the grill, and stock up on the best seasonal produce. So, let’s toss on those aprons and dive into the freshness of the top 5 summertime dinners.  

Grilled Steak Salad 

Sizzling, juicy steak, crispy fresh greens, and sweet, flavorful corn on the cob—that’s what a Grilled Steak Salad is all about––a perfect balance of flavors and textures that scream summer. This dish allows you to indulge in your favorite cut of steak guilt-free while also getting in your daily dose of veggies.  

This versatile recipe allows you to add the things that suit your taste and even your budget. Choose your cut of meat and the veggies you and your family enjoy. You can either keep it veggie-rich with cucumbers and bell peppers or fruit-forward by adding some berries and honey-roasted walnuts for a sweet crunch and easy weeknight dinner.  

Smoked Sausage And Veggie Kabobs 

Kabobs are a summertime favorite. Chicken, shrimp, steak—the options are deliciously endless. But if you’re looking for a quick and budget-friendly kabob, why not give these smoked sausage and veggie kabobs a try?  

The layered goodness of crisp, sweet pepper, tangy onions, and sweet zucchini make the perfect pairing with smoked sausage. Season with your favorite grilling seasonings, and you’ll be ready to toss them onto the grill!  

Shrimp And Broccoli Foil Packets 

Another grillable favorite is shrimp and broccoli foil packets. These packets are filled with tender, juicy shrimp and fresh broccoli florets swimming in a buttery lemon and garlic sauce. The best part? There is minimal cleanup, and it cooks in 20 minutes.  

Using aluminum foil, create a pocket and place your shrimp, broccoli florets, butter, garlic, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning. Close it up and place it on a hot grill for 15 to 20 minutes until the shrimp are translucent and the broccoli is tender. Serve with some loaded baked potatoes, and that is a tasty summer dinner—done!  

BBQ Grilled Chicken Legs 

This summertime recipe never fails to impress. Plus, it can be set aside ahead of time and thrown onto the grill for a simple weeknight meal. Perfect for hot summer days, the sweet BBQ sauce paired with a tangy grill rub is really what sets this apart from your run-of-the-mill grilled chicken.  

Create your own grilling chicken rub with salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder. Make sure the chicken drums are completely covered with the homemade rub and grill until the internal temperature reaches 165. Pro tip––ensure a low and slow grilling session to prevent any of the rubs from burning.  

Smother with your favorite BBQ sauce and serve with a chilled potato salad for a kid-approved and simple summer dinner recipe.  

Blackened Tilapia Tacos With Homemade Tangy Slaw 

White fish can be incredibly versatile and is an amazing way to get some tasty protein into your daily diet. These blackened tilapia tacos, with their spiced crust and tangy slaw, create the perfect summer dinner dish.  

Pan-sear your seasoned tilapia filets in oil until flaky, then set aside. Prepare your tangy slaw using mayo, salt, pepper, lime juice, fresh sliced jalapeno, thinly sliced cabbage, and cilantro. Fill your favorite warm tortilla shells with the fish and slaw for a truly unforgettable taco Tuesday.

Farmers Market Treasures: What To Make With The Freshest Produce

With so much impressive produce popping up at the farmers markets, it can be a little overwhelming to know what to make. But with these five delicious and market-ready recipes, you’ll be on the hunt and know exactly what to buy for the freshest meals.  

Tomato Basil Flatbread  

Perfect for the grill, these tomato flatbreads are packed with flavor thanks to the farmers’ market tomatoes. They’re great as appetizers, lunches, and even dinners! 

Start with two naan slices and brush with olive oil and crushed garlic. Next, top each of the nanns with thick slices of tomato, fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil—season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. 

Grill until the cheese has melted slightly and the tomatoes have a bit of a char. After removing it from the grill, drizzle with a sweet balsamic glaze to finish it off!  

Zoodles With Meatballs  

Zucchini is not only incredibly versatile in the kitchen but also offers a healthier alternative to carb-heavy pasta. With this zoodle recipe, you can enjoy a lighter version of your favorite pasta dish while still getting all the flavor.  

Using a vegetable spiralizer, spiral two large zucchini. Place the “noodles” in a bowl and sprinkle with a bit of salt. This will allow the zucchini to release some of its moisture.  

Prepare your marinara sauce and meatballs as you normally would, but add the zoodles to the sauce 10 minutes before you are finished. Serve with a generous helping of Parmesan cheese.  

Grilled Elote “Mexican Street Corn” 

Nothing beats this grilled Mexican street corn. The sweetness of the grilled corn, mixed with savory Mexican crema and tangy chili powder, makes for an unbeatable flavor combination.

Once the mixture begins to bubble, you know it is finished. Pour it into a pie plate with a homemade or store-bought crust, and be prepared for the best pie you’ve ever had.  

Wrapping Up Farmers Market Recipe Ideas  

With so many fresh options available at the farmer’s market, this is only a small portion of what you can create once you grab some of the freshest produce. Hopefully, this has got your creative juices flowing and you are ready to create some delicious masterpieces this summer!

Curating The Perfect Crust:

Add the warm water, sugar, and yeast to a stand mixer and stir. Allow to sit and become bubbly, about 5 to 10 minutes.   

Add the olive oil and one cup of the flour, mixing on low speed until the dough begins to form. Keep adding flour little by little until a dough ball has formed. You want the dough to be soft but not sticky.   

In a separate bowl, drizzle in olive oil and place the dough ball inside. Cover with a tea towel and allow to sit in a warm area until doubled in size, 30 minutes to an hour. 

Punch down the dough, roll it out into a 12-inch circle, and transfer it to a pizza pan or stone.  

Bake at 425 with your desired toppings for 15 minutes or until the crust edges start to brown.  

Variations  

Due to everyone’s different dietary needs, you can look up gluten-free options or even cauliflower crust options, which are gluten—and dairy-free!  

Classic Toppings:

Sauce 

Making a pizza sauce is super simple! Skip the store-bought options and try this instead!  

In a small saucepan, combine chopped onion and garlic and saute until translucent, seasoning with salt and pepper.  

Add an 8-ounce can of tomato sauce and stir with the onions and garlic.  

Season the sauce with Italian seasonings, basil, and extra oregano. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. 

Add this to your pizza crust for a simple yet delicious savory sauce.  

Cheese And Meats 

When discussing classic pizza, choose shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese or freshly sliced mozzarella.  

Pick up some crumbled Italian sausage or homestyle pepperonis for classic and mouthwatering toppings.  

Veggies 

You can put any veggie on a pizza. In fact, vegetarian pizzas are some of the most flavorful pizzas you can make! Try onions, garlic, green or red peppers, mushrooms, red onion, zucchini, and black olives— it’s your time to be creative!  

Gourmet Options:

Using Unique Ingredients

It’s great for meal planning or making for the whole family because it tastes even better the next day. It’s time to cook, so put on your apron! 

Turkey Chili:Why Should I Pick It? 

If you want a lighter version of beef chili, try turkey chili. It still has all the strong tastes you love. It is healthy and filling because it is made with lean protein and fiber-rich beans. This dish is perfect for anyone who wants a filling meal that tastes rich but is still good for them. 

Things You Will Need 

Some essential pantry items and fresh ingredients are needed to make this turkey chili: 

  • Ground turkey is the main ingredient and makes a great lean protein base. 
  • Olive oil is used to cook the onions and cover the turkey. 
  • Onions and garlic smell good and give the chili more depth and taste. 
  • For flavor and texture, use canned crushed tomatoes and kidney beans. 
  • The classic chili taste is a combination of chili powder, paprika, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, and black pepper. 

Easy Ways to Make Tasty Chili 

Cooking With Olive Oil: The turkey should be cooked by browning ground in olive oil in a big pot until it’s no longer pink.  

Add Aromatics: Next, cook the chopped onions until they’re soft and transparent. Then add chopped garlic and stir until it smells good. 

Put Everything Together: Then add the kidney beans and crushed tomatoes. Stir it all well. 

Season: This is where you create your chili! Put all the spices in the pot and stir them around a lot to ensure they are spread evenly. 

Simmer: Boil the pot, turn down the heat, cover, and let it cook slowly for 30 minutes. The slow cooking helps the flavors blend nicely. 

How to Serve Your Turkey Chili 

There are many ways to serve turkey soup. It tastes great on top of a fried potato, with a piece of crusty bread, or with a fresh salad. Serving it with cornbread or rice will make it more classic. Remember the toppings! You can let everyone make their bowl by adding sour cream, shredded cheese, green onions, or even avocado pieces. 

How to Store 

You’re lucky to have turkey chili left over because it keeps well. If you put it in a container that doesn’t let air in, it will last up to four days in the fridge or three months in the freezer. Leave some room in the jar for the chili to expand when you freeze it.
