Easy Summer Recipes Kids Will Love

One of my absolute favorite things about summer is going to our local farmer’s markets. While Illinois can make a mean corn on the cob, it’s our neighbors in Michigan that really set my heart aflutter with their berries, peaches and cherries. We just spent a week up there and came home with tons of summer fruits – that unfortunately don’t last very long in our house! Thankfully many of them come to our area every week for our farmer markets, which means we get our berry fix anytime we want!

But man (and child) cannot live on berries alone – though my kids would if they could! So here’s a roundup of really easy summer recipes both you and your kids will love. These would be perfect for summer BBQs, summer party food, or just take a rainy afternoon and make them with your kids!
