Need a dinner idea? I got you. 🌞
Happy Saturday. Today, I’m sharing a few summery recipes to inspire your dinner tonight. I’ve officially broken out the tank tops and am ready to bask in the sun and eat my favorite summer dishes. I also have a new reader fave for you. Let’s dig in.
9 Summer Dinner Ideas
1. Aleppo Pepper Shrimp with Creamed Corn
Corn, tomatoes, and shrimp make for an iconic summer dinner pairing. It’s all the best things!
2. My Dad’s West Virginia Hot Dog Sauce
Roll up to the next BBQ with this hot dog sauce in tow, and you’ll be the most celebrated person at the gathering, I promise.
3. Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta with Corn
Another tomato and corn situation, this sun-dried tomato pasta with corn has been a reader fave for the past two years.
4. Ritz Cracker Cake with Pineapple
This Ritz cracker cake with pineapple is a simple dessert recipe with Ritz crackers that is sweet, airy, and so, so easy to prepare!
5. Sweet and Spicy Mushroom Tostadas
Shredded mushrooms get an upgrade in this sweet and spicy mushroom tostada recipe! Stewed with fresh summer peaches, chipotles in adobo sauce, and black beans, these shredded mushrooms are a filling, sweet, savory topping for tostadas.
6. Easy Clams and Chorizo Recipe

7. Vegan Squash Blossom Tacos
Squash blossoms will soon be popping up in farmer’s markets, and if you are looking for a delicious way to use them, look no further than these vegan squash blossom tacos! Served with roasted cherry salsa, these tacos are just so tasty!
8. Strawberry Pretzel Salad
Don’t let the name fool you 😜 This strawberry pretzel salad recipe is a classic summer dessert. It’s sweet, crunchy, creamy, and a little salty—perfect for a hot day! I prepare this strawberry pretzel salad with fresh strawberries, but when strawberries aren’t in season, you can use frozen, thawed strawberries.
9. Basil-Parmesan Turkey Meatballs with Stewed Tomatoes and Rice
This recipe is a hearty and filling dinner that’s perfect for meal prep this week, too!
🌟 Reader Fave
Cheesy Pork Cutlets
Paul writes: “I only roughly followed the recipe, using Italian bread crumbs to coat the chops, but stuck with the warming the sauce/broiler/pasta toss directions, and the results were wonderful. My local market had tenderized pork cutlets on sale this week, and this recipe was just the ticket for making good use of them!”
Thank you so much for your comment, Paul!
I hope everyone has a wonderful warm weekend filled with lots of tasty food. If you make one of my recipes, please leave a comment and rate the recipe; I’d love to know how it turns out for you!
That’s all for now! Byeeeeeee!!! 💖 💖
