Breakfast

Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Frappuccino

Sometimes I want to combine a protein smoothie with my morning coffee, and especially during the summer, it’s nice to start your day with a cool beverage. You can definitely make this summer recipe on the fly. Just make sure you already have the needed ingredients the night before.

Check out this quick video for How to Make Your Own Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Frappuccino.

Lunch

Cucumber Sandwich

Cucumber Sandwich

It’s a hot summer day here in the northwest and I thought it would be fun to include a cool cucumber sandwich to snack on. This summer recipe is so easy to make that you can even have this as your go-to recipe when friends come over unexpectedly, and you don’t have any other quick lunch recipes in mind.

Many times, these sandwiches are served with afternoon tea during a high society gathering, but why not include this recipe for Cucumber Sandwiches for a regular warm summer weekend.

Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Dinner

Spicy Corn Carbonara

Spicy Corn Carbonara

We did some super tasty grilled corn on the cob the other night on our Traeger and I had some leftover corn. So, I went searching for a familiar and tasty summer recipe to make with the corn.

I came across Erin’s recipe for Spicy Corn Carbonara.

I’m such a sucker for any kind of Carbonara, let alone a spicy version that uses the delicious leftover corn I need to use.

Give this recipe a try and let me know how yours turns out!
