Yes, it’s another corn recipe, but Mexican corn is just so, so good. This Mexican corn dip from Yummly is packed with flavor, and I’m basically telling you all to have a summer snack dinner full of dips.

A tall, frosty glass of something fruity is pretty much the only summer snack I want when it’s hot and miserable outside. Enter this strawberry lemonade recipe featured on Yummly. It’s so easy and so pretty. Just blend up some strawberry puree, add in some simple syrup and lemon juice, and serve with lots of ice and garnishes. Delish.
