What is it about summertime that just never seems to be enough?
No matter how many barbecues we have, no matter how many Sundays are spent outdoors with friends, cocktails in hand, the aroma of meat smoking on the grill, endless grilled vegetables, corn on the cob in our teeth and stolen moments with juicy peaches over the sink, when September comes around and summer starts to slip away, it is bittersweet. We’re excited for the new year ahead but still find it hard to part with the long sunny days and the carefree schedule; nobody to rush off to school and plans that change with the weather.
Let’s enjoy the last hurrah of summer with some easy and creative barbecue favorites that are packed with flavor and style!
Start off with this make-ahead, tomato corn salsa and bring it out with the biggest oversized tortilla chips you can find. Salsas are so easy to make with whatever fresh fruit and vegetables you have around.
