What would summer be without luscious burgers fresh off the grill?

Hot dogs are just plain great, especially piled high with all the fixings. OK, so maybe ketchup isn’t really a vegetable …

Eat ‘em at the beach, at the ball game, anywhere you’re having summer fun.
Beloved burritos are the perfect summer meal. Kids love them, and it’s easy to cook up a big pot of beans and taco meat …
… add some shredded cheese and wrap up the whole delicious mess in a burrito roll to pop in the freezer for a quick and easy meal.
What makes veggies irresistible to kids? Why, ranch dip of course.
Pile up a colorful batch of colorful broccoli, carrots, sugar snap peas and sliced squash and watch it vanish before your very eyes.
A picnic staple, coleslaw is also a favorite of a lot of kids.
Experiment by adding different grated veggies and dressings to see which most tickles your family’s fancy.
There’s something about stacking up barbecued chicken, steak and all kinds of veggie chunks on a skewer that gets kids all excited.
It’s kind of like roughing it, only in the back yard, and the grill makes everything just taste so much better.
In summer, there’s a certain allure to having a nutritious dinner that kids love all ready to go in the fridge.
Cook up a batch of spaghetti, toss with peanut butter, soy sauce, oil and some lightly toasted sesame seeds…

Summer is perfect for slipping some fresh strawberries, blueberries or peaches into morning favorites like pancakes and waffles.
Summer and slushies go together like hot dogs and hamburgers. Whip up your own with a batch of garden-fresh fruits…
