Have you ever taken a peek inside your fridge during the summer and noticed one thing that never seems to run out?
For me, it's an endless parade of condiments — ketchup, mustard, pickles, dressings, and hot sauces galore! I gotta wonder if it’s just a summertime thing. But every time I open my fridge, there they are, condiments for days…
How about you — what are your summer food obsessions you just can’t get enough of?

I Always have a pitcher of homemade green iced tea year round but in summer I often have either homemade lemonade (real 🍋) or mint/ cucumber water. I get so much mint in the garden so it’s a refreshing treat!

Fruit! Grapes, cherries, watermelon. Our local grocery stores have price wars, so prices allow us to buy smaller quantities multiple times a week so we don't (often) have spoiled fruit on our hands. Next up: stone fruit.

When it's too hot to cook, I stock the fridge with hummus, various dips, cut up veggies, cold cuts/cheese. Home made charcuterie boards for dinner=a win. I am also partial to a nice pinot grigio or home made fizzy water (love my Soda Stream and Torani syrups!).

Cucumber and avocado in salads (romaine, right now). Whether it's with honey mustard dressing (seriously, make your own: good dijon and a fine raw honey, mix to taste...that's it!) or olive oil, lemon and salt and pepper, it just sings summer to me all season long! That with shredded chicken breast or grilled salmon 👩🏻🍳💋! And limes. There must be margaritas and Palomas or it's not summer.
Avocado.
Salted cream cheese with sesame crackers.
Iced coffee.

Hamburger pickles. La Croix. Tomatoes.
Bread & Butter pickles and cole slaw (not necessarily together) :/

I am obsessed with ice cream and gelato. My favorite flavors are pistachio and tiramisu.

Fixins for watermelon salad. Watermelon. Feta. Mint. Salt. Yum. One watermelon lasts for days and days of the stuff and I never get sick of it
Bbq everything with Picnic salads - potato salad, tabouleh, bean salad, green bean salad...
