The Gourmet Mama

Summer has sprung and with it being Canada Day today for all the Canucks out there and the Fourth of July coming up shortly, I thought some summery recipes would be particularly appropriate. So, if the summer heat is getting to you, try one of these delicious recipes from around the web.

Pasta salads are an old standby for celebrations like the ones this month, but this Garden Pasta Salad is really something special. It is packed with delicious vegetables and there really isn’t a lot of pasta included, so it would be a gerat choice for those on a diet, as well.

If you’re looking for an excuse to fire up the BBQ and keep the heat outside, then you might want to try these mouthwatering Indian-Style Grilled Chicken Breasts. Or, for something a little more exotic, how about Grilled Swordfish Steaks?

Another tasty recipe is this Tuscan Bread Salad, so light and so perfect for hot summer afternoons.

And speaking of bread . . . Turkey on Foccacia is a great way to enjoy a meal that isn’t too heavy or hot. Remember, sandwiches are great for any meal! There’s a Frozen Lemonade Pie just below that recipe on the same page, sounds tasty!

For those of you in the U.S., a beatiful flag cake would not go amiss and here is a recipe for one.
