Have you ever made almond milk? Making Almond Milk is one of those easy summer recipes that I love to prepare using my Vitamix.

Comment below to share with me!

Breakfast

EASIEST Homemade Almond Milk

One of my favorite things to make is homemade almond milk, it’s so tasty and SUPER EASY to make.

I especially love to add a little vanilla and a smidge less water if I’m making thicker almond milk for coffee creamer.

Check out how we make Almond Milk.

Lunch

Creamy Cucumber Salad

One of my favorite recipes my Dad used to make when I was a kid was creamy cucumber salad!

I do enjoy cucumbers, but turning these crunchy saucers into a sweet and tangy salad, elevates them to the next level!

Check out Brandi’s Creamy Cucumber Salad for some inspiration to make your own salad this weekend!

These healthy and easy summer recipes would definitely make your summer even more refreshing!

Dinner

Traeger Shrimp & Veggie Skewers

Shrimp & Veggie Skewers

Our Traeger gets used year-round, but especially during the summer, we make an extra effort to prepare a lot of our meals using the grill to keep the heat out of our house.

Back in June we shared a Pineapple Veggie Skewer recipe with you, wow was the recipe for Chimichurri sauce so delicious!

We liked those veggie skewers so much that we thought we’d share this recipe for Grilled Shrimp and Veggie Skewers with you.

You’ll notice the recipe uses a regular grill, so if you have a Traeger, you’ll simply cook them on your grill as you would any other skewer!

This grilled seafood recipe perfectly goes well with a gin cocktail. So, check out A La Carte’s cocktail videos below and see which of these cocktails you like best for your grilled shrimp.
