Sparkles and Lattes: Girl Chat

It's time for another round of Girl Chat and this time we are talking about our Favorite Summer Recipes. I can't wait to read everyone's recommendations as we are in desperate need of new dinner ideas.

ONE. One of my favorite Summer recipes is so simple. It doesn't even require a recipe really. I love grilling up sausages from either our local butcher or Whole Foods. I pair it with Sierra Nevada Spicy Brown Mustard. Then I take white corn and I shuck it, put butter on it and then crack pepper and garlic powder on the corn. I roll it up in aluminum foil and grill it for about 25 minutes on medium to medium high heat. I also love sauteing some onions to go with it.

TWO.

Southwestern Chopped Salad

I recently found this recipe on Pinterest and it has become a new favorite. I love salads. Seriously, I eat them many times a week. But what I love about this salad, is you can add in any of your favorite toppings and it just tastes so good. I love the chili lime dressing that is listed at the bottom instead of ranch. I still use the salsa recipe, but then add in the chili lime dressing. It is flavorful, healthy and so tasty.

THREE.

Citrus Salmon with Strawberry Avocado Salsa

I make this recipe all the time. The only difference is, I don't make it in the oven anymore. I grill it. I soak a cedar plank in water for an hour and then I put my salmon on the cedar plank. I put the plank on the grill at medium high heat and cook for approximately 12 to 15 minutes or until the salmon reaches 125 degrees.

I love the combo of the salsa with the citrus salmon.

FOUR.

Sweet Potato Nachos

I love nachos, but I don't eat them that often. I had seen some recipes around for sweet potato nachos and decided to make my own, but with some tweaks to it. I think these are amazing and definitely a Summer favorite. Be sure to buy a mandolin though as it is the easiest way to get your sweet potatoes cut to the same size. I bought this one.

FIVE.

Oreo Fluff

I found this recipe a few years ago and it is a huge hit. I bring it over to parties as a dessert. It is super easy to make and you can pair with fruit, more oreos or vanilla wafers which is my favorite pairing.
