Write about your favorite summer meal ideas, including recipes if applicable. Are you all about the grill? Or maybe you prefer salads. Do you use your crockpot a lot in the summer? Or would you rather have sandwiches? Tell us what you're eating and tell us how you prepare it!

I am a summer salad fanatic! Well, I'm truly a salad fan year-round, but summer salads with fresh fruit in them are the BEST! I take full advantage of my local grocery store's fantastic salad bar probably four days out of the week. After creating my masterpiece, I tweak it with fresh fruit at home. My absolute favorite is Strawberry Spinach Salad--which is just what it sounds like: new spinach, freshly sliced strawberries, and a sprinkling of sliced almonds and feta or goat cheese; all drizzled with raspberry walnut vinaigrette.

I don't own a grill and don't often use my crockpot in the summer. If I'm not having salad, I'm probably having a "pork parfait" from the Rib Truck or getting a sandwich from one of the local shops.
