Hello, beautiful friend. What are you doing to enjoy summer?

We are enjoying a leisurely summer of day camp for Aaron, trips to the park, watching movies, lots of book reading, and warm days at the beach. Which explains why it’s been quiet crickets here on The Larissa Monologues.

I feel like the summer vibes cause me to get way more laid back with my cooking. I am more relaxed with meal planning, with the occasional pizza night and lots of tried and true recipes.

Here are some of my favorite recipes for the summer.

Perfect Lemonade

Bread & Butter Pickles

Egg Salad

Slow Cooker Carnitas

Lemon Bars on Brown Butter Shortbread

I would love to hear what you’re cooking these days. Do you have any good summer recipes? Please share them in the comments!
