Summer is right around the corner and with it brings some of the best food. When it’s hot outside and you’re super busy it’s hard to want to cook yourself a good meal, especially if you are a college student. Below are some quick and tasty summer recipes that everyone will enjoy.

 

Orzo Salad

This summer recipe is one of my all time favorites! It’s a light and fresh summer salad. You can follow the recipe or even mix it up by adding some of your own toppings to it! It’s also a perfect side dish to bring to a summer BBQ!

Cheese Steak Sliders

This recipe is another one that is perfect for summer BBQs. Many students wouldn’t think to make their own steak and cheese, but it’s an easy dish to make! Why not try and impress your friends with it?

Blue Cheese Lettuce and Tomato Pizza

Pizza is good all year long, but this recipe adds a fresh and healthy twist to your favorite guilty pleasure. Again, you can even add some more of your own favorite toppings to it like bacon!

Strawberry Shortcake

A classic summer dessert. Why spend the time making the biscuits when you can just buy the shells in the store and whip up this quick strawberry topping! Don’t forget the whipped cream of course! This recipe tastes just as good as your grandma’s homemade strawberry shortcake, but takes half the time.
