Hard to choose.. I love fresh juice, fruit salad, regular salads, and summer salad (cucumber, tomato, onion with balsamic vinegar!)
My favorite summer food is ice cream. Not that I turn it down in the cooler weather! But in the summer, when it’s hot, nothing is more refreshing than a dish of ice cream. (Cherry Vanilla is my personal fav).
My family’s favorite summer food would have to be corn, especially during BBQ season. We love a good corn on the cob over the grill.
My favorite summer food would have to be the fresh local produce that I am able to get in the farmer’s markets. I have found that the heirloom varieties especially are so much more flavorful then the ones that I am able to get off season in my local grocery.
My favorite summertime food is grilled corn on the cob! We usually get fresh corn (well, this was a lot easier when we lived between corn fields), shuck them, split each ear of corn into hold-able sizes and then wrap them in aluminum foil before we set them on the grill. The best part is this sweet and spicy sauce that we make from unrefined sugar, lime and chili pepper that we spread once our cobs have been grilled. So delicious!
My favorite summer food is grilled chicken. I love the grilled taste and we have so many different recipes and even kabobs.
Ice cream from a local ice-cream stand. We have a great one down the street and they have these swirled favors you can get through it, so delicious! “Blue goo” is a favorite here 🙂
My favorite summer food is hot dogs and hamburgers. I do like to eat them all year, but there is just something about a hot dog or hamburger cooked on the grill. It has so much more flavor. And the smell of them cooking on the grill is just as fantastic as the taste!! Can you tell they are my favorite? 🙂
My favorite summer food is watermelon. I can’t get enough of it.
My fave summer food is salads. I love to make all kinds of salads in the summer when it is so hot. I find them easy and refreshing after a long day.

I keep it simple. I love anything that can be grilled right now…steaks, hotdogs, hamburgers, even fruit.
Favorite summer food would be this texas sheet cake I make! I usually only make it once or twice a year and its one that I make for our 4th of July picnic! It is the best chocolate cake ever and its one that is made on the stove then baked! Makes it taste so old fashioned and I could eat the whole thing by myself!
I enjoy the classic grill set-up. I like roasted corn, watermelon, lemonade and ice cream!
my favorite summer food is bbq chicken. but this year it’s rotisserie chicken, ever since we got an attachment for our grill. amazing!
I love barbecuing in the summertime. Bbq ribs and chicken are tops! And I just recently had white corn on the cob for the first time and goodness it is awesome! I will for sure have it again 🙂

My favorite summer food is definitely BBQ. Chicken, burgers, and dogs on the grill. Plus corn, potato salad, and chips. Yum!
I have several favorite summer foods. Around this time we have many family cookouts so there is always some type of yummy easy to eat food. I enjoy hot dogs grilled on the BBQ and my dad’s homemade BBQ sauce on chicken. I also love watermelon and cantaloupe. Those are a great way to cool off in the outdoor heat!

I love boiled crab because the crab season here is so short that I have to get it while I can
I love anything grilled in the summer. Being outside and cooking and eating is better than being inside any day! Throw in some watermelon and cantaloupe and it makes it even better!
My favorite summer food is strawberries, whether just fresh, chopped up with it’s own syrup (sugar/water), as a shortcake or in a fruit salad, it’s always refreshing during the summer!!!

I love allthe fresh veggies and fruits of summer. I use the summer squash, zucchini, and fresh greens at almost every meal. And nothing beats ice cold watermelon on a hot summer day!
Watermelon salad. All the fresh and luscious grapes, watermelon, pineapple and strawberries especially! I love the fruits in season as they taste SO much better and are less expensive. That means a LOT in our family. We make a huge bowl and graze on it for a few weeks. Is so refreshing to take ALMOST icecold out of the fridge after a couple of hours outside. And good for you too!
I love making virgin mojitos with lime and mint. I also love watermelon and cooking on the grill, mostly spicy chicken!

My family’s favorite summer food is corn on the cob, especially the fresh corn straight from my dad’s garden!! Strawberries are also a favorite of my son and I, but my husband doesn’t care for those.
In the summer I tend to hit the fruit bowl a lot more than normal. Watermelon is my absolute favorite and I even drink watermelon juice. That might be good in that mixer 🙂 I feel that fruit is a healthy food to replace vitamins and electrolytes we lose when we sweat out in the soon and it is just so refreshing. My favorite lunch is watermelon, grapes, and pineapple dipped in Vanilla Yogurt fruit dip made with the yogurt and a teaspoon of a nice smooth Brandy, try it, you’ll like it!
My favorite summer food is fresh fruit. I don’t think I can narrow it down to just one I love them all so much, strawberries, watermelon, cantaloupe, kiwi, and tomatoes since they classes it as a fruit and I tend to eat it like one in the summer. Those are my favorites. and Why because they are just so darn good and refreshing and juicy and yummy and they make me think of summer.
My favorite summer food is salad! I make a big, tasty salad for dinner a couple times a week during the summer. Lately I’ve been adding raw, grated beets for an even healthier & tastier dish. The other “have to have” ingredient in my salads are chopped green onions, I love them!

This is more of a favorite summer snack but I love Roasted Marshmallows. I have found the best way to roast them without building a fire; stick them on a fork and roast them with a lighter.
Grilled corn on the cob is one of my favorites, because the flavor is so much better than boiled corn.

we have an outside bar and a pool so what a perfect combination. This mixer would go to great use making tasty fruity concoctions at pool parties
Favorite summer food? Do I have to pick just one?? Believe it or not, one of my favorite summer meals is a big bowl of corn chowder made with fresh corn on the cob, lots of bacon, and of course, lots of cheddar cheese. Then a BLT to continue the bacon-goodness. But no summer meal is complete without a frozen margarita to start off!
hmm….favorite summer food? FOr some reason as soon as I read that I thought hot dogs. I guess it is just the most associated with summer rather than the utmost favorite. I like my dogs on a toasted bun with melted cheese, 2 kinds of mustard, raw red onions and caraway sauerkraut. That should get bast the canned meat filter i hope. 🙂
My favorite summer meal is anything grilled for father’s day I made my hubby and dad some really good honey BBQ chicken on the grill and some grilled corn so yummy!!
I love fraps from starbucks. they even make them in glass bottles and sell them in stores. I also can not stop chewing ice in the summer

I love huge packed salads!
My favorite food in the summer is grilled corn on the cob. I love the sweetness that grilling creates in the corn and nothing better than being able to get it from the local farmer’s market!
