It’s that time of the year when hatch chiles start to pop up here in Texas and I always get excited for them. They are similar to an Anaheim pepper, but with a little heat. Even the mild ones have a little kick and smokiness most of the time. You can make salsas, dressings, stuff them, and even add them into mac and cheese. I mean it’s the ultimate comfort food combination of flavors and I am here for it. Roasted hatch chiles get combined with pasta and cheesy goodness to create a spicy mac and cheese that you will want to make over and over. This recipe for roasted hatch chile mac and cheese is going to delight your tastebuds with every single bite.

Before summer is over I think it’s our duty to enjoy all of the tropical summery drinks don’t you? Frozen drinks in particular are just perfect for a hot afternoon spent by the pool, at the beach, or even for a backyard hang. Other than my recipe for Watermelon Mint Slushes, pina coladas are my next favorite summertime special cocktail. While most people tend to enjoy them strictly on vacation or when somewhere tropical, it truly is easy to make them right at home. Just a few simple ingredients and you can be transported to your favorite beach destination. This recipe for the best pina colada is one that you will want to have in your back pocket every single summer.

I have never met a potato I didn’t like and fries have their own category of deliciousness if you ask me. I love making fries at home because I can bake them right up and don’t have to feel guilty about eating half the pan. I accidentally made the best fries one night for our dinner and knew that I had to create a recipe for y’all asap. We happen to love mediterranean flavors in our house and this blend of spices really take these baked oven fries to the next level. On top of that I created a feta dip that is going to not only become your new favorite fry dip, but your new favorite spread for all of the things. This recipe for Mediterranean baked fries with feta dip is one that you simply must try.

If you are finding yourself knee deep in summer fruit like cherries and peaches and can’t eat them fast enough before they all go bad, then I have a solution for you. A summer crumble is the best way to use up any fruit that you have on hand and it is always a crowd pleaser. I tend to get excited and overbuy all of the fruit in the summer and end up with a handful of fruit that ripens too quickly on me. Instead of letting it go to waste, I like to make a yummy dessert out of them instead. This recipe for a cherry peach crumble is truly summer in a bowl, especially topped off with a little vanilla ice cream.

Honey is a pantry staple at our house and while it’s delicious on toast, in oatmeal, yogurt bowls and even dressings, I am slightly obsessed with honey in ice cream. My husband recently worked in Scotland for a few months and he couldn’t stop talking about an ice cream he had there with real bits of honeycomb in it. I knew I had to try a version myself and I am so glad that I did. Homemade ice cream is one of my favorite things to make all summer long and this recipe did not disappoint. This recipe for real deal honeycomb ice cream is for all of my honey lovers out there.
