I would love to hear what some of your favorite things to cook during the summer are, especially if it doesn't require heating up the house by using the oven a lot. I always struggle to come up with inspiration this time of year. :nosweat:

Re: Summer recipes.

This time of year I could live on pasta salad!

I make a really good chicken & bacon pasta salad which has:
- Chicken breast, cooked with salt, pepper and cajun spice
- crispy bacon (cooked in the air frier)
- Wild rocket
- Onion
- Peppers
- Cucumber
- fusilli pasta
- Mayonnaise dressing

It's nice and refreshing, and easy to prepare.

Looking forward to hearing more recipes, especially ones that don't take too long! I love cooking, but I'm definitely a winter cook rather than a summer one usually. :)

Sushi is a good recipe that I enjoy in summer. :)

This sounds so good!! My partner and I love pasta salad and are going to the grocery store later today, so I'll definitely make sure we pick up the ingredients for this to make over the weekend!

I looked this up and it definitely looks tasty! :) I'll have to try that one of these days. Are there any particular recipes you would suggest?

Re: Summer recipes.

I love it that you started this thread!!

These are some recipes that I'm trying to make this weekend:

1. Banana cinnamon rolls

I have a bunch of bananas that are so ripe they're turning brown. But after making loads of banana bread over the past few months, I wanted to try something different, so I found a recipe online that uses bananas in cinnamon rolls. :hehe:

Here is the recipe video if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8p8RoQvPz44

2. Brazilian lemonade

Again, I haven't tried this yet, but looks super interesting and delicious. Just uses limes, condensed milk and water/ice which are hopefully available easily to many: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rxaqmzndR8

Some recipes also add coconut milk to it.

3. Orange marmalade

Good quality marmalade is always so expensive! I'm going to try making my own with just 2 ingredients: oranges and sugar. You can add lemons if you like.

Here is the recipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTfp3HevfmE

Love to see what others have to share :hug:

This is the one I use:

It's not in English though, but I found an English version that looks very similar. The only difference is that the recipe above doesn't use eggs and the one below does. I've never eaten a gyros salad with eggs, but I imagine it fits well. :D
