Happy Friday before the 4th of July everyone! We’ve reached that time of summer when things are busy and the temperatures are hot. That means lazy summer recipes that are full of flavor and color, but that require very little effort…or maybe barely any at all. This is the third year I’ve shared our most popular summer recipes (see summer 2019 and summer 2020 here). You guys always seem to really enjoy this post, which is fun! This year we have some repeat contenders that are clearly just tried and true HBH favorite summer recipes. And some new recipes to make the list too! With the 4th of July on Sunday, and the long holiday weekend ahead, we thought now was the perfect time to share out this post. I know so many of us are planning picnics, beach days, and backyard BBQ’s for the days ahead. My hope is that the recipes below will help you in your holiday weekend planning. I’m not big on doing recipe round-ups. But I’ve received so many requests for them that I thought now would be a good time. With the number of recipes on HBH, it’s nice to be able to highlight the favorites of each season. Below is my summer 2021 list of the top most popular summer recipes. Oh and lastly, I’d really love to hear what your personal favorite summer HBH recipe is? Excited to hear what you all love most! And let me know what you might be looking for in July and August too! See you all tomorrow for a special cocktail post!
