It’s hard to believe, but school is almost out. After such a snowy winter, I’m almost afraid to mention the word “spring,” but I think we’re in the clear! So, it’s time to get that garden ready, pull out the grill and plan some mouth-watering meals and summer parties outdoors. With so many simply delicious, easy recipes, whipping up great meals for yourself, family or guests just won’t be a problem!

In our Plus newsletter this month, we feature tons of no-fuss options. Whether you need a potluck-friendly dish or some kid-friendly treats on a stick, we’ve got ’em! You’ll also find cool and frosty summer drinks and a few terrific slow cooker and microwave recipes guaranteed to help you beat the heat. Plus, this time of year, crisp summer salads are always a hit. Give that bottled salad dressing new life with our “Thinking Outside the Bottle” ideas. You’re sure to love them!

And, if outdoor entertaining is on your summer menu, don’t forget to pick up a copy of our upcoming July/August issue of Simple & Delicious. It features a 19-page special section of terrific outdoor ideas, including easy camping recipes; tasty dishes using fresh herbs, fruits and vegetables; and some super-easy 5-ingredient recipes just right for any gathering. Make sure to check it out!

Have a great month!
