Did you dust off your grill over the weekend? We didn’t. 😅 We went away to the Poconos, where other people cooked for us and I didn’t have to wash any dishes. It was incredible. We made the reservation so long ago we forgot about it until a few weeks ago—that’s how much we needed the break.

The next few weeks are jam-packed with end-of-school events, camp prep, and getting ready for summer. I’ll be eating bowls on repeat; steamed broccoli makes them so much easier. (And it makes making a quinoa bowl like this one so much more filling.)

With summer so close, today’s recipes are all about enjoying time outside with your family and eating delicious meals that don’t take forever. You don’t need a grill to make these—but eating them next to a grill definitely sets the mood.

I’ll share more dishes with warm-weather produce when it’s their time to shine. For now, here’s what’s on the menu:

  • Spring Steak Salad with Grilled Onions

  • Three-Ingredient Potato Salad

  • Veggie Pasta Salad
