We're all about that summer life.
Summer is an invitation to get outside and experience longer days, golden sunsets, and the freshest of air. It's about digging your toes in the sand or hanging poolside, taking part in some good old-fashioned rest and relaxation. It's about Phillies games at the Bank, concert tailgates in Camden, BBQs with friends, and getting lost in an addictive page-turner.
And, of course, the food! How could we possibly forget the summer eats?
Burgers. Dogs. Grilled chicken. Fresh watermelon. Buttery corn on the cob. Colorful pasta salad. Creamy ice cream.. The list goes on and on…and it’s so hard not to eat it all!
But summer foods, while delicious and nostalgic, are often packed with unhealthy ingredients that can add up quickly. Classic summer staples are typically high in saturated fats, sodium, and preservatives, which can be harsh on the body. So if looking for new, creative, and healthier summer eats you’ve come to the right place.
