One of the things we love about summer in SoCal is the easy-breezy pace of life. Summer is for beach walks, mountain hikes, and afternoons spent lazing on an Adirondack with a paperback thriller. Summer is also the best time for patio dining, but it’s definitely NOT the time for long-winded cooking projects.

This collection was compiled with all that low-stress, high-fun living in mind. It’s got a little bit of everything — fish, beef, chicken, and a couple of vegan dishes. Looking for grillables? Check out our summer grilling collection.
