Grilled Pizza | You'll love amazing brick oven-crispy-chewy, full-flavored pizza -- and you'll appreciate not heating up the kitchen in the summer.

Lacto-Fermented Roasted Red Pepper Hummus | Hummus is the only dip I make -- because of its delicious flavor and versatility. The peppers in this roasted red pepper hummus make it slightly sweet while the lacto-fermentation adds a bit of tang. It's really scrumptious! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Watermelon on a Stick | Sometimes you just can't finish a big watermelon! So, preserve it by making "watermelon on a stick" -- watermelon popsicles. A refreshing treat during summertime heat, and these homemade popsicles are way better than the chemical-ridden conventional freezer treats. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Summer Shish Kabob Marinades | Shish kabob marinades... When I think summer, that's what I think of.

Classic Cherry Clafoutis | Cherry season is nearly over, but until the last fruit drops from the tree, I will be reveling in the summer sweetness only cherries can offer. I'm a sucker for creamy, silky-smooth custards in all their glorious forms and cherries are a perfect vehicle for the classic French flan that is a sultry <em>ménage à trios</em> of pancake, custard, and cake -- the clafouti. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Start your day with this! | The best thing you can do for yourself each day is so simple, but it's often overlooked. I know this because I myself -- a person who cares a great deal about healthy living -- have neglected it for years. What is it? Drink enough water. But even more than that... | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Going Gluten-Free: Fad or Necessity? | I went gluten-free a little over a year ago.
