Fish Tacos
It is always a good idea to cook up some fish in the summer months. If you or someone you know can fish, you can get a fresh catch that will taste delicious in a taco shell. Local fish will add a unique flavor to the tacos.
For store-bought cuts of fish, try something classic like cod, mahi-mahi, or halibut. Pair the fish with a homemade taco shell and coleslaw for a mouthwatering meal.
Ceviche
For a fresh, no-cook summer option, try making a good batch of ceviche. You can use fish for this dish, and it is often cubed and marinated in lemon or lime juice to add maximum flavor.
Some ceviches are even made with shellfish, such as shrimp and crab. Since ceviche is so customizable, you can add your own twist to it and make it so that it only has ingredients you enjoy.
Grilled Chicken
For some of the most versatile BBQ recipes of the summer, you can’t go wrong with grilled chicken. Many online grill recipes for chicken have seasoning blends that you can buy at the store or use common pantry ingredients to make.
You can grill up individual parts, like thighs or drumsticks, and serve with a variety of side dishes. Chopped or shredded chicken is also a great addition to a salad.
Pineapple Coolers
Are you and your friends bored with blended margaritas or sangrias? Try something fresh and exciting, like a pineapple cooler cocktail.
You can easily customize the liquor and juices in your pineapple cooler as well, depending on if you want tequila or rum. This drink is also a great option for pregnant women, as it will taste just as good without alcohol.
Classic Burgers
Nothing goes better with a summer BBQ like a good cheeseburger. Buy these patties at the store, freeze them or make your own with fresh ground meat and your own seasoning blend.
If you want to take your burger up a notch, the best burgers have delectable toppings that you would not normally think of for a normal burger.
