It’s finally beach and BBQ season for us in Maine. We have such a short season that we enjoy as much time outside as humanly possible. Weekends get planned months in advance. You’ll even see us outside cooking on the grill, in the rain. Hungry seagulls and insects flying around looking for food. Tourists lurking about everywhere we go. We even go to the beach on over-cast, cloudy days. Telling ourselves “it will clear up soon, the sun will shine!” Sand, sun and lobsters. Blueberries, boats and BBQ’s. What’s not to love about summer in Maine?

I’ve put together some of my favorite summer inspired recipes for you. I’ll be adding more, so check back. As always, let me know what you think. I love your comments.

Enjoy!
