June is in full swing, and that means longer days, warm breezes, and fresh flavors! Whether you’re cooking for a crowd or just keeping it easy, this week’s recipes are packed with seasonal goodness. Think crisp veggies, herby marinades, and light but satisfying meals that make summer dinner prep a breeze!
Happy Monday, friends! I hope your day is filled with sunshine, good food, and the people you love most.
We’re kicking off the week with something extra delicious: grilled steaks! Fire up the grill because this recipe from Natasha at Natasha’s Kitchen is a must-try. It’s juicy, flavorful, and perfect for summer nights!
I call Nani’s Sauteed Chicken a Heritage Recipe. This easy chicken recipe has been passed down from one generation in my family to another. It has humble beginnings, but it is just so good! If you make one thing this week, it should be Nani’s Sauteed Chicken. This recipe is what I call an oldie but goodie. The post is so old, but the recipe is one of the best!
Even though it is summer, I still get hungry for this simple and delicious food I grew up on! YUM! Once you make it, you will know why!
Leave a comment if you have made it for your family!

Bobby needs his weekly Italian dinner fix, so this week, he’s having lasagne rolls from SKINNY KITCHEN. Thanks, Nancy! Bobby will love these, and WW points are included!
I double this soup recipe, make it every few weeks, and freeze it in quart-sized containers for lunches and quick dinners. It’s one of my favorite soups!
Chicken Cordon Bleu is an easy recipe that goes with many side dishes. But this recipe from RECIPE DIARIES is made even better by air-frying it!
We LOVE our Air Fryer. Air Fryers do have a learning curve but once I got the hang of it I LOVE using it to make meals! You can see my favorite Air Fryer HERE.
I can’t wait to try this pizza recipe from Blair at The Seasoned Mom! It’s so easy to make and I think my grandbabies will love it! I know Bobby and I will.
Today’s main course from Alyssa at THE RECIPE CRITIC is one I’ve made over and over! It’s such a winner! It is so company-worthy and easy to make! Win/win!
I found this recipe decades ago. It’s simple, pretty, healthy, and just so, so good. We eat it for breakfast in a bowl piled high with strawberries and other seasonal fruit and drowning in milk. Well, maybe not drowning… just skinny dipping!
And if we have leftovers we eat it for dessert with whipped cream or ice cream! This is a recipe you will want to try!

Happy Cooking, friends….
I will be making the Instant Pot Chicken Taco Bowls this week when I have my high school friends over for lunch. I have made it for friends before and everyone asked for the recipe. I serve it with Mexican Shrimp Cocktail. Mom. So good!
Yay! How fun to have old (not in age) for lunch. Have fun!
I hope Bobby enjoys my Skinny Lasagna Roll-Ups! They are super easy to make.
