Simple Summer Supper: Farmer’s Market Finds

What if you put together all the best Farmer’s Market Finds of the week and created a Simple Summer Supper?

Make a Meal from Farmer’s Market Finds!

The Farmer’s Market in our town opens for two hours every Thursday evening through the summer. Sometimes I run downtown on Thursdays and grab a few favorites, then take it all home to serve immediately for our dinner. We can make a great meal this way, with very little effort or money!

Is it weird to make a meal without any meat? I used to think so. But now we are perfectly happy to eat a meal of buttered corn on the cob, sliced watermelon, fried zucchini, and fresh peaches with cream.

Come to think of it, sometimes there’s a booth set up at our Farmers Market that sells fun meat sticks or kielbasa. Those go great with any of the fresh fruits and veggies we can pick up. It makes a great meal without any trouble. And it sure doesn’t get any fresher than this! (Unless we pick it from our own garden, of course!)

And this, my friends, is today’s Simple Summer Supper tip. Go to your local Farmer’s Market and pick up food to serve for a meal or two. Take your kids and let them pick their favorites! It’ll be fun, simple, delicious, and highly nutritious.

Simple Summer Suppers: Perfect Grilled Chicken

by 2 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see our disclosure policy.

I have the secret to creating the Perfect Grilled Chicken. You can make this even if you own a pitiful grill like we do. :)

Someday we’ll invest in a grill that isn’t duct taped together. I kid. Our grill isn’t really duct taped together. It’s just on the cheap side and doesn’t always light the way it’s supposed to or heat evenly. Through the years we’ve considered putting some money into a better one, but you know what? Ours still works. So we’ll continue to make do until it dies.

In the meantime, our grill still turns out chicken that is incredible. We can’t get enough. It’s always juicy and perfect and you’ll be happy to know the prep time on said chicken is about thirty seconds.

What’s the secret? I’ve shared it before and I must share it again: We use boneless chicken thighs. Skip the dry, chewy chicken breasts. It’s thighs all the way. They have more fat in them, so they turn out a deliciously juicy grilled chicken.

How to make Perfect Grilled Chicken

Simple Summer Suppers: Perfect Grilled Chicken
 
Save Print
Author:
Ingredients
  • 6-12 boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup sauce (bbq, teriyaki, sweet and sour, Italian dressing, any of your favorites!)
Instructions
  1. Place chicken and sauce in a ziploc bag or casserole dish to marinate in the fridge. (This takes 30 seconds, but you'll feel like a brilliant chef.)
  2. Marinate for 1-24 hours. (Because sometimes we plan ahead and sometimes we can't handle basic organizational skills for the day.)
  3. Grill on low heat for 25-40 minutes, turning a time or two until your chicken is perfect.
  4. Serve with salad and veggies.

We love making extra chicken to chop into chef salads on another day. It’s kind of like killing two birds with one stone, or rather two chickens with one grill. This is a rather violent way to say “Here’s a great way to get ahead on meals for your family!”

Simple Summer Suppers: Tuna Salad Wraps

by Leave a Comment

I find these Tuna Salad Wraps to be so refreshing on a hot summer day!

Tuna is a food I consider to be a life saver when I don’t feel like cooking, when I don’t have much time to throw a meal together, and when I’ve failed to thaw meat for dinner.

We eat tuna salad with crackers, in a sandwich, on a bed of lettuce, or in these Tuna Salad Wraps. We set out raw veggies and fresh fruit to eat alongside our tuna. So our meals is nourishing and full of variety!


I love asking my kids to mix up several cans of tuna because it’s something they can make easily. Then we keep it in the fridge to use for upcoming fast meals that don’t heat up the kitchen!

The recipe below is a typical ratio we use to make one can of tuna. Double, or triple, or octuple as necessary for your family!

Simple Summer Supper: Grilled Tortilla Pizzas

by 2 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see our disclosure policy.

These Grilled Tortilla Pizzas are so simple and fast, you’ll hardly know what to do with yourself!

I suggest letting each person build their own Tortilla Pizzas to their liking. Put them on the grill until the cheese is melted, which takes just a couple minutes.

Just like that, your meal is ready! Grab the greens and other salad fixin’s out of the fridge (or out of the garden – even better!). Slice some fresh peaches or strawberries. Truly, your Simple Summer Supper doesn’t get any easier than this!

Author:
Ingredients
  • Whole grain tortillas
  • Pizza sauce
  • Shredded cheese
  • Your favorite pizza toppings (meats, peppers, olives, onions, pineapple, mushrooms, etc)
Instructions
  1. Top a tortilla with all your favorite pizza toppings.
  2. Grill on low heat for about 2 minutes or until cheese has melted.
  3. Serve with fresh fruits and veggies.

You can use flour or corn tortillas (corn if you need to eat gluten free). You can add sauce or no sauce. Perhaps my only caution is that you don’t over-cheese your Grilled Pizza Tortillas; otherwise your cheese might overflow onto the grill grates and create a mess!

This Simple Taco Salad ranks right up there as one of the most refreshing and tasty meals to serve in the summertime!

I can’t get enough of this salad. And interestingly enough, while my kids typically just serve themselves a small amount of greens for a salad on a normal day, they eat huge bowls of this Simple Taco Salad! Maybe we should always put chips in our salad – ha!

Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 1 pound hamburger
  • 2 Tablespoons taco seasoning mix
  • 1 head lettuce, any variety (we prefer red leaf, green leaf or romaine)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Colby jack cheese
  • 15 ounces (or 2 cups) of pinto, chili, or black beans
  • 1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
  • 1-2 cups crushed tortilla chips
  • 1 cup French Dressing (give or take; recipe link below)
Instructions
  1. Brown hamburger meat and season with taco seasoning mix (recipe link below)
  2. Chop or tear lettuce into a large serving bowl.
  3. Add cooked meat (cooled), shredded cheese, beans, tomatoes, and chips.

Make a batch of this French Dressing to serve in this salad. You won’t be sorry!

I recommend making this Taco Seasoning Mix to have on hand for recipes like this. Easy and delicious! Also, I find it helpful to make several pounds of taco meat at once, then I use the leftovers to make this salad!
