30 Recipes to Celebrate Summer
The temperatures here in Rome are already into the 90s (into the the 30s for the rest of you,) I’ve switched out my sweaters for sundresses, and my freckles have come out of hibernation.

Below is a compilation of 30 of the blog’s best summer recipes, covering breakfast, snack, lunch, and dinner — stay tuned for a separate post on all of the blog’s summer dessert recipes!
