Summer is the perfect time for fresh, fruity meals that feel effortless, and these recipes are about to bring all the sunshine!
My five-minute peach cobbler is a warm, cinnamon-kissed dessert that comes together in the microwave; my teriyaki chicken and pineapple skewers bring sweet-savory flavor to the grill; and my grilled barbecue salmon with avocado-mango salsa delivers smoky, tropical goodness in every bite.
I’m hoping you love them all as much as my family does.
5-Minute Peach Cobbler
This speedy little dessert is summer comfort in a bowl. Diced peaches are tossed with cinnamon, brown sugar and vanilla, then microwaved until warm and gooey. You won’t believe how scrumptious it tastes — or that it comes together in just five minutes! Finish with crushed graham cracker and a squirt of whipped cream for instant peachy perfection.
Grilled Teriyaki Chicken and Pineapple Skewers
Tender chicken, sweet pineapple, bell peppers and red onion are threaded onto skewers, grilled until charred and caramelized, then brushed with a thickened teriyaki glaze. Every bite delivers that irresistible mix of flavors with the bonus of protein, fiber and a slew of antioxidants. And feel free to swap in whatever veggies you have hanging around in your fridge — this recipe is versatile!

The avocado-mango salsa adds creamy richness and citrusy flavor with just the right little kick from optional jalapeño — perfect if you like a little heat. It’s a protein-packed summer dinner that feels restaurant-worthy but is simple enough to pull off at home.
