Do you switch up your meal plans during the warmer summer weather?

We sure do.

Here are some of our favorite summertime family meals.

Ground Turkey and Chicken burgers: We have various ways of serving them up. Buffalo Ground Chicken Burgers, Greek Turkey Burgers, Teriyaki Turkey burgers to name a few. Our family recipes are adapted from those found in the Taste of Home Light & Easy Magazine.

Summer Dinner Salad: These are great with so many fresh veggies in season. Mixes of the following…lettuce, boiled eggs, cooked potatoes, olives (sometimes), tomatoes, avocado, various cheeses, beans (sometimes), cooked chicken or turkey, and dressing. Don’t forget pasta and potato salads too.

Wraps: Well we call them tortillas but I guess since they rarely carry the traditional ingredients we’ll have to go with the name “wraps”. We really like them with cooked chicken, sauteed with onions and peppers. Then just add lettuce, cheese, and tomatoes.
