The easiest summer dinner on our grill lately...

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Folks, I don't know where you're reading this from, but if you're anything like me, you're probably melting. I'm visiting my mom in central Illinois this week and man, is it HOT! Before it gets too warm, Maya (my pup!) and I have been sneaking out for early morning walks down this quiet farm road... The corn is taller than I am, the cicadas are deafening, and by 10 a.m. I'm already looking for shade.

The heat is exactly why I don't want to spend any more time in the kitchen than I have to this time of year. That's also why this grilled lemon chicken has been on repeat. It marinates while you do something else, cooks in just a few minutes on the grill (blessedly, outside!), and keeps the house nice and cool. I usually throw on some zucchini, corn, or whatever vegetables are in season while I've got the grill going. Grab the recipe and make it this weekend for an easy backyard dinner.

One thing I've been pairing with it lately is my new Whipped Feta Dip.

While this dip works great as an appetizer, it's amazingly good spread onto a plate and topped with the sliced grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or even scooped up with warm pita. Add a simple green salad, and you've got one of my favorite easy summer meals.

I hope these recipes help you beat the heat this week!

zucchini casserole

Hi Reader, September always feels like such a funny in-between month to me. We still have zucchini and tomatoes hanging around, and the afternoons can still feel very much like summer...but the mornings are getting cooler, the kids are fully back into their routines, and suddenly I'm starting to think about soup, casseroles, and baking something warm on the weekend. I'm not quite ready to go all-in on pumpkin everything yet. But I am ready for food that's just a little cozier. And this Cheesy...

grilled lemon chicken on plate.

Hi Reader, How is it already Labor Day weekend? I know summer doesn't *officially* end for a few more weeks, but Labor Day always feels like the turning point to me. School is back, the evenings are getting a little shorter, and I'm already starting to see pumpkin everything creeping into the stores. But I'm not quite ready yet. We still have peaches. We still have sweet corn. And we still have a perfectly good long weekend ahead of us. So if you're planning a cookout, having a few friends...

bbq chicken drumsticks

Hi Reader, Is anyone else feeling that late-August shift? Summer isn’t technically over, but around here we’re already settling back into school schedules, practices, homework, and all the other things that suddenly make 5:00 feel a whole lot busier. (How does it always come so quickly? Glad to be back in a schedule, but...it's always a little bittersweet 😢.) So I’m firmly back in easy dinner mode. These Oven-Baked BBQ Chicken Drumsticks have been a favorite at our house for a long time, and...
