I'm a bit shocked to find that it is July already. It seems that I barely caught my breath in June and now it's gone. But July brings it's own pleasures, such as long sunny days, swimming in the lake, entertaining friends and eating all of the fantastic fresh fruits and vegetables that are harvested.

We spend our summers by a lake so I try to keep things simple and easy so that I don't have to spend lots of time in the kitchen. So here you have a collection of recipes with lots of things for the grill, lots of easy salads and tons of healthy foods to keep you going during the hot summer.
