31 Recipes To Cook in July
So excited to share all the best summer recipes with you! This list is big and full of seasonal favorites pulled from July’s past. From last year’s Peach and Prosciutto Pizza to my go-to Peach Thyme Smash, Chicken Lazone with Herby Corn, and that dreamy Roasted Tomato Ricotta Pasta—there isn’t a recipe here you’ll want to skip. I’ve included all my favorite July desserts, including everyone’s most-loved Blackberry Peach Cobbler. Whether you’re mixing up drinks, grilling out back, or baking something sweet, there’s a little something here for every summer mood.

Happy July and welcome to our first full month of summer!
The 4th of July is just days away, and all the summer fun is just getting started. For us, this summer is all about travel. So what does that mean when it comes to cooking? While we’re definitely mixing in restaurant meals (because trying new spots is always fun!), more often than not, we’re cooking in—usually in a small kitchen or even a hotel kitchenette.

That means all recipes need to be easy peasy. And honestly? That’s perfect for summertime cooking! Whether you’re at home, grilling in the backyard, or whipping something up while traveling, I’m so excited to share everything I’m hoping to cook this month.

I always have so much fun putting these monthly recipe roundups together. I don’t often take the time to scroll back through the archives—especially during the busy summer months—but these posts have become something I really look forward to. It’s always a treat to rediscover favorite recipes and bring them back to life!

Below, I’ve gathered my top picks—there’s a recipe for every day of the month, plus a few extras I just couldn’t leave out. From drinks and salads to pastas, grilled dinners, and of course, all the fruity summer desserts, there’s something here for everyone.

I hope you enjoy this list and start planning for a month full of delicious, sunny-day recipes!

And as always, let me know what I missed—what recipes are you still searching for? What are you making and baking this month? I always love hearing what you’re cooking!
