Summer is winding down. You are either in the middle of your last hurrah – an end of August family vacation – or caught up in the whirlwind of shopping for school supplies and clothing. Either way, the end of summer is in the air. And we’re all trying to hold on just a little longer. Here are some recipes that will keep you thinking of summer the whole year through.

First you need a drink to evoke the mood. Hokey as it may be, nothing says hot days and nights like a Pina Colada. If beer is your summer refresher of choice, try our Lemonade Beer Chiller.

For a light snack to accompany your drinks, try this Smoked Trout Salad. Serve atop a bed of lettuce and alongside a variety of crackers. Or go for the ever-popular Guacamole with some chips.

And for your sweet tooth, a treat that requires no baking is a must. Try these Peanut Butter Fudge Delights or this 5 Minute Chocolate Cake that only requires a microwave.

And now just sit back and enjoy the remaining days of summer. School and the High Holidays are just around the corner. Stay tuned for our High Holiday cook book, coming September 4th!
