Great collection! I’m trying to hold onto summer as long as I can, although I am excited about baking with apples and pumpkin! 🙂

This is a great round up of recipes! I want to try your Banana Nut Oatmeal Waffles and Grilled Sweet Corn Salad!

Thank you Kristine! We love the Banana Nut Waffles! Anytime bananas go brown that is what I do! 🙂
Kelly says
What a great roundup! As much as I love fall, I know I will miss all the summer veggies and fruit when it starts snowing outside haha. So I think I definitely need to try your fresh strawberry pudding pops before the season ends 🙂
Maebells says
Kelly they are so good! 🙂

My goodness this is an amazing roundup. Every thing looks so delicious! I’m not ready for summer to be over I still have lots of foods I want to make.
Maebells says
Thank you Cindy! 🙂
Liz @ Floating Kitchen says
Everything looks so good! I don’t want summer to end. It needs to hold out long enough to give me time to eat all these things!
Maebells says
I am ready for cooler temps, but I think I need a little more sweet corn and tomatoes before I am ready to let it go! 🙂
Danielle says
I love recipe roundups, so glad you did one with summer recipes! I’m in love with every cold dessert up there, I’m almost wishing fall wouldn’t come so soon ha!

I love round ups too! There is so much good stuff out there that it is really easy to miss good recipes! I like seeing what other people come across!

That Asian Chicken Salad is calling my name too Kristi!
Isadora says
Summer is far from over here too, it was 105 degrees outside today! Alll these recipes look delicious and now I’m craving ice cream 🙂
Maebells says
Holy cow! That is crazy! I think at 105 ice cream would be a total necessity!
