Everything is simple, fresh and makes me want to get out and barbecue! As my family has moved to a whole foods diet I've found it challenging to have guests over. The recipes in Simply Summer are ideal for hosting: flavorful foods (for them) that are also whole foods (for me). In particular I'm excited to try the Broccoli Cheddar and Cheddar Bacon dips. The ingredients are whole foods but the result sounds like it will suit all palettes. Also can't wait to try the Salty Caramel Ice Cream.” --Rachel Jonat, www.theminimalistmom.com“A super collection of fresh summer recipes to please the whole family. Recipes are full of flavor, easy to prepare, and don't require lots of time. Whether you're looking for a meal you can make without heating up the house, or a side-dish to bring to a picnic, Simply Summer has it all. Indulge your taste buds without sacrificing your health.
