4 Easy Summer Recipe Ideas Using Fun Kitchen Tools

By

The veggies are fresh and green. The berries are juicy and delicious. Summer is in the air, and it’s the perfect time to try new recipes with in-season ingredients and fun and inventive kitchen tools. From seasonal fare involving no cooking at all to easy one-pan meals, make the most of your produce and kitchen products. Give your summertime meals and drinks a boost with the following ideas. 

Food Containers

Spiralized Summer Squash Salad

You can make your yellow and green summer squashes more exciting by spiralizing them and preparing a light marinade. Simply put your squash strips in a bowl or colorful food containers with some salt and let them sit for about 10 minutes before draining off the liquid. In the meantime, use a food chopper to whip up a marinade of your choice. Something light and healthy might include lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cilantro, red onion, and honey. Pour your marinade over the veggies to coat them and refrigerate for about 20 minutes before serving straight from your festive bowl. You can sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top for a nice finish.

Make Some Fancy Ice Cubes

Add some variety to your refreshing summer drinks with fruit-infused ice cubes. Fancy ice cubes are a special touch to your cocktails, mocktails, lemonade, and even water—and a lot more fun than plain frozen cubes of water. Chop up your favorite fruits or herbs and experiment with cubes that pair well with certain drinks. Possible pairings include rosemary and figs, cucumber and basil, lemon and honey, and lime and mint. A thoughtfully designed ice tray is key to making perfect ice cubes. Forget about the hassle of twisting and cracking your ice cubes and look for ice trays that have a soft underside in each cavity, making it easy to pop out each cube.

Stuffed Cornish Game Hens

Cornish game hens are a treat. If they are large, two people can share one, or each person can have their own. You’ll find it helpful to have a large casserole pan that can hold two hens and vegetables. You can stuff the birds first with prepared stuffing or sliced lemons and garlic. Once you get the birds situated, you’ll add veggies to the casserole pan, such as mushrooms, parsnips, and carrots. The hens will rest after baking them for about 5 minutes. Serve the meal with the pan drippings. This is an easy one-pan dish that will be a hit with your family or guests.

Simple Watermelon Salad

What’s more summery and sweet than watermelon? You can elevate your watermelon with a pretty presentation and simple ingredients. Cut at least six large wedges and plate them. Then, you’ll make a balsamic reduction. In your favorite mixing bowl, combine mixed greens (or arugula) with a bit of your balsamic reduction until evenly coated. Divide the greens over the watermelon wedges. Top the greens with a mix of crumbled goat cheese, pecans, and strawberries. Finish with the remaining balsamic reduction, and you have a fresh and light summer salad soon to be your favorite all season long.
