    Actually, I don’t make any different recipes in the summer than in the winter.

    They’re pretty much the same as my favorite summer recipes. I guess I’d say slow cooker chili -easy, filling, low in points.

    One of my favorite dishes for any time of the year, but especially for summer is:

    1 package of Trader Joe's frozen falafel
    1 package of pita bread
    1 container of Trader Joe's hummus
    1 container of Trader Joe's Cucumber Garlic Dip

    Warm pita.
    Cut in half.
    Stuff half a pita with 3 falafel pieces, a dollop or two of hummus, and a dollop of Cucumber Garlic Dip.

    Serve with a salad.

    Very light. Very easy. Very quick. Pretty darned inexpensive.

    This sounds like exactly the kind of summer dish I'm looking for! Thanks for posting.
