Hi friends! The time has arrived! We have lots of summertime goodies coming your way in today’s Summer Recipe Round-Up!

Now before we jump into the recipes, I have something to share. You might recall from my last post that I said I have a little surprise for you guys! Are you ready? To round out your foody experience, and provide you with added convenience – Ciao Chow Bambina has partnered with INSTACART! You can now shop directly from the recipe! It’s very simple: as you make your way to the end of a post – you’ll see beneath the recipe card, a green button. Simply click on the button, and voilà! The green button allows you to instantly shop for the ingredients listed in the recipe. A one stop shopping list linking out to participating grocery stores in your area. You can choose to have the groceries delivered straight to your door, or you can pick them up at the store. How cool is that! Every recipe on the blog is now set up for instant shopping. If you’re new to Instacart, and have any questions, please send them my way… If you’re anything like I am – these techy endeavors can take a minute to learn… I get it, and I got you! No question is too small! Have fun!

Okay! Next up: summer recipes! I took a peek at the calendar to see that we have 18 weeks, including this weekend’s unofficial start, of summertime food and fun! That’s a lot of food! And a lot of fun! I had the idea to share a bunch of our favorite warm-weather dishes, making it easy for you to find them in one simple to find spot! Of course there are more fair-weather recipes on the blog – but we’re gonna get you going with these family-faves!
