While I wrote a post about five of my favorite summer foods, I had to leave some of my favorite foods out. This made me sad because I really enjoy eating them and didn’t mind talking about them. Since I have so many foods I enjoy eating during the summertime, I decided to write another post!

Cesar Salad

I used to have a love/hate relationship with Cesar salads. I loved the taste of them, yet the dressing made me sick due to my food allergies. Over the past few years, I began to sort out what my allergies due to the dressing are and how to work around them. I am happy to say that after years of tinkering, I have created my own version of the dressing without the ingredients that trigger my allergies. Today, Cesar salad has become one of my favorite summertime foods.

 

Pizza

Pizza has always been a favorite summertime food of mine, but I don’t eat it as often as I used to. Whenever I do, I really enjoy it! I prefer to stick to the classic pizza toppings of cheese and pepperoni. I do enjoy other pizza toppings, but I like to remain loyal to the tried and true cheese and pepperoni.

 

Pasta Salad

I really like to eat pasta during the summertime. Along with other pasta dishes I will talk about later in this post, one of the dishes I don’t eat as much but do enjoy is pasta salad. I used to eat it a lot at a restaurant years ago, but today the restaurant no longer sells the salad anymore. Despite this, pasta salad is one dish I don’t feel like I masted creating from scratch, yet want to in the foreseeable future.

 

Pesto and Spaghetti

Pesto and spaghetti has been one of my favorite summertime pasta meals, but I didn’t like making it at home. In recent years, I began to make it myself and really enjoy it. If I want to add some more protein to the dish, I usually add a hard boiled egg. The egg tasted really good with the pesto and spaghetti!

 

Spaghetti and Spaghetti Sauce

The final favorite summertime food is spaghetti and sauce. The sauce is usually a tomato based sauce, but the name of it can vary. Usually I call it spaghetti sauce, so I’m going to call it that for this post. Thanks to the never ending list of ingredients found in premade foods that I am allergic to, I have to make the sauce from scratch. This is also why I love to eat spaghetti and my home made sauce so much! As can be imagined, my home made sauce is fathoms better than store bought and can even double as a marinara sauce for pizza! There may be fans of tomato sauce that will complain about my sauce and how “authentic” it is, but I don’t care. I really love the taste of it and so does anyone who tastes it too!

 

Well, that’s all for now! Thank you for reading!
