What makes you think "It's really summer now"?


Corn in the cob, sliced peaches, cheeseburgers on the grill, grilled zucchini and yellow squash, potato salad, sliced garden tomatoes, and watermelon

Half of you are just naming random summer foods. Op said MEAL. The ideal summer meal is obviously a plate from a backyard grill out: hot dog, hamburger, baked beans, potato salad, maybe some BBQ chips, and s’mores for dessert. That is a summer meal.

Yes! The first home grown tomato of the summer always goes into a BLT (or two). The second gets sliced with basil and mozzarella, drizzled with olive oil and a sprinkling of sea salt. Can’t wait!

Farmers market. But they don’t hold a candle to homegrown ones. Unfortunately I can’t grow tomatoes every year.

Ditto the farmers market. And not the greenhouse ones being sold now. A good tomato won’t be ready for another month.

Funny, I think of stuffed peppers as a fall meal. I love them, and my mom used to make them on the first day of school (In September in my home town, where it was actually cool by early September).
