The 45 Most Popular Summer Recipes of 2023
Crazy that it’s already time for our summer recipe post. I share this collection of popular seasonal recipes every year and it’s always well received. With so many recipes in our recipe box, these posts are a nice way to remember all the oldies but goodies we’ve loved from years past.
Sometimes I’ll look back at a recipe and think to myself, “OMG, that one was so delicious, I need to make that again!”. I forget too, so I love sharing this post every year. The idea is that today we’re bringing back all the old favorites and making mental notes to make them again soon!
The 4th is behind us, but we still have the rest of the summer ahead. Pools days with friends, picnics, backyard dinner parties, summer birthdays, and warm nights spent outside eating ice cream. I’m in my hometown of Rocky River, Ohio with family this weekend and these recipes are perfect to share with them.
If you’re interested in seeing our previous summer recipe posts, here they are! Summer 2019, summer 2020, summer 2021, and summer 2022. Enjoy!

WONDERFUL RECIPES! I was sorry when I came to the end.
Could we please focus more on recipes WITHOUT CHEESE? I love them all – but no wonder America is struggling with weigh gain!! I am ready to write a recipe book called, “ANYTHING BUT CHEESE!” America is obsessed with it!
More VEGGIES – less CHEESE – I substitute with YOGURT with herbs.
PLEASE!
Hey Barb! I really appreciate the feedback! Thank you for letting me know! xT
Thank you again for all the great recipes – and your photos are perfect. Thank you for all your hard work!
Aw thank you so so much! xT
Hi ,
I love your recipes ! My daughters and I all have your cookbooks and love experimenting with new ideas. My husband recently tested positive for gluten sensitivity (not celiac). Would you consider adding notes to recipes for substitutions for gluten sensitive and free readers?
Keep cooking!!! Thank- you!
Hi Andrea,
Thanks so much for reading and your kind message! I actually have a full gluten free section on the blog:

I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any other questions! xT
Made the Korean Beef Spicy Noodles. I did substitute ground pork for the ground beef. Delicious! Recipe was easy and quick. Absolutely will make again and again.
Hi Jane,
Thank you so much for the kind message:) I love that you enjoyed the spicy noodles! Happy Monday! xT
I’d love to see a version of this list for no-AC apartment-dwellers like myself. I don’t want to turn on my oven on a hot day (and I don’t have a grill, convection oven, or air fryer).
That said, my number one from this list is the Souper Creamy Lemon Butter Cheesy Zucchini Orzo — it’s always a hit!
Thanks for sharing your feedback Katie!! Glad to hear you enjoyed the zucchini orzo:) Happy Sunday! xT
I made you Peaches and Cream w Pretzel Crust pie the weekend and it was a HUGE hit! Thank you!
Ahhh that’s such a good recipe!! Thanks for making it:) xT
Wow! Amazing recipes!!!!!
Thanks so much Maureen!!
Love this round up! The chipotle salmon is on the menu for tonight. I have an “ask.” I love all your sauces and sometimes want to switch them up between recipes. Would you consider separating or having a “sauces” category on your recipe lists? Thanks, love what you do!!!
Thanks so much Lori!! I have a lot of my sauce recipes listed here:

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions! xT
All of these look sooooo delicious. I am not sure which one I will make first! Thank you for sharing these.
Thanks so much Susie!! Let me know if you give any of these recipes a try, I hope you love them! xT
Could we get these in a little ebook like you did with Christmas cookies or thanksgiving? I want to make them all!!
Lol thanks so much Kim!! Unfortunately, we don’t have that available at this time! Sorry! xx
Do you have all these recipes in a cookbook? Thanks! Happy day to you!
Hi Teri,
All of these recipes are only on the blog, the recipes that are in the cookbooks are exclusive to the books:) xx
Thank you! Appreciate your time!
I love your recipes and have several on my rotation. Thanks for sharing those and the beautiful photography.
One small request; On the above, you have the photos separated from the recipe names by ads. This is kind of distracting. Maybe it’s just me, but I like to see them together so I can tell if its something I want to make. Thanks
Thanks so much Jan!! We appreciate your feedback, sorry for any issues with the ads! Happy Friday! xT
Teigan these recipes look awesome! Everything I’ve made from you gets rave reviews!!

Thanks so much for your kind message Jan!! Let me know which recipes you try, I hope they are a hit! Have a great Friday! xT
Can you just come here and cook for me every day? XO
