Light Summer Meals
I have gathered together a list of some of my favorite light summer meals that I make for dinner. It’s usually too hot to make a big meal so I like to make smaller meals like sesame beef lettuce wraps or lemon & dill salmon with sauteed tomato, spinach, and feta orzo. My family really loves to do grazing-style meals in the summer like a Greek smorgasbord. I hope you are all staying cool!

Lots of good ideas.
Looks wonderful and delicious Pam!!
Are you planning on doing another cookbook? I want to try so many of your recipes but I find it easier having a cookbook in front of me and not the computer.
Summer snacks are not only delicious, but they also help you feel comfortable in the hot weather. Just like avoiding the traps in the game Slope Unblocked, choosing the right foods can help you stay healthy and energized throughout the day.
They’re perfect for warm weather
