Summer Recipes

When summer hits, I can't get enough al fresco dining. With their light and refreshing flavors, these appetizers, side dishes, main courses, drinks and desserts are perfect for your outdoor summer dining needs.

For a cooling cocktail, my garden gin and tonic and fresh cherry margarita are a couple favorites. You'll love my Mediterranean cucumber pico de gallo for a light appetizer, and my grilled jerk chicken is the perfect summer dinner. And don't forget dessert -- s'mores ice cream, anyone?
