10 Healthy Summer Recipes


It’s not jacket weather anymore.

Quick! Can anyone name that movie quote??

No, it’s definitely not jacket weather anymore; at least not here in Texas. I brought out the popsicle maker last week and we’ve been having lots of fun creating different flavors, such as mint-chocolate-chip and blueberries-n-cream popsicles. So if you happen to see an overwhelming number of popsicle recipes on my blog this summer, please accept my apologies in advance.

In the meantime, here are 10 healthy recipes perfect for “non-jacket” weather. (By the way, the quote is from The Wedding Singer. It’s one of my all-time favorite movies!)

Nutella Fudge Pops

Question of the Day:

Does it feel like summer yet where you are?

I know summer doesn’t technically start until June 20th. But when the temperatures are already in the 90s, and kids are getting out of school, it’s pretty easy to say summer has arrived. I hung my jacket up long ago.

    I just returned to the UK from a trip to Canada where it was DEFINITELY summer weather. Unfortunately here- not as much. But it is Jubilee craziness this weekend, so the summer spirit will definitely be in the air!

    Yes, is is for sure summer here in LA. (I mean it always is perfect weather,) 😉 but what is now available at the Farmers Market is what is sayin summer to me. 🙂

    I live in Seattle and our jackets are still on our backs! I’m from Boise, Idaho which gets really hot so I’m missing the sun and heat. And my college is on the trimester system so I’m still in school. Let’s just say I’m a little jealous of you right now, Katie. 🙂

    Hi Katie!
    I just wanted to thank you for all your awesome recipes. I’m a new Mama and just stopped eating dairy because my baby boy has a milk protein allergy. Your recipes have saved me!

    School’s out today = it totally feels like summer!

  8. Juliana says:

    This is why I love the round-ups – I thought I had read every inch of your sight, but I’m glad to see that I was wrong! 🙂

    It’s sweatshirt and blanket weather here today. Tea, anyone?

    1. Alanna says:

      I’ve only tried the Strawberry Shortcake pancakes, but they definitely worked as waffles! You might need to leave them in just a little bit longer than a standard pancake/waffle recipe, but they were delicious!

    I thought you were only going to do round-up posts for holidays?

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      In my post, I had said I was cutting back to holidays and every few weeks. I cut back from doing one every week, but a lot of the commenters in that post said they like the round ups and would be sad to see them less frequently.
