Watching the annual triathlon event in our city over the weekend - the furious splashes in the lake, the lightning fast transitions, the bicycles speeding around the corner, the dash to exhaustion at the finish line – reminded me that summer is a race.
From one graduation party to the next in the same day, from one wedding to another every weekend, summer is a blur when it should be savored.
Enjoy the campfires with family, and the potlucks with friends. Make time to cook and take time to eat, because summer is too short to be long forgotten by winter.
To help you get a head start on some recipe ideas for the summer season, try a few of these delicious dishes:
- Tandoori Chicken Tikka Wrap (pictured on top): Our most popular campfire recipe, using our handcrafted Tandoori Seasoning.
