Summer's almost over—celebrate it while you can with these simple, flavorful dinner recipes.

No matter how old we get (and how long we've been out of school), August will always feel like the end of summer. It’s true, it might stay hot through September (and you better believe we’ll be eating outside as long as we can), but we'll always feel like August is THE month to savor the last dregs of the season. Join us as we try and eat as much summer produce as we can (pies! cocktails!), stay out of our hot kitchens as often as possible, and put innovative spins on the recipes we’ve enjoyed all summer long (what else can we make on the grill?). We’ve got 40 recipes to help inspire you to make dinner this August—one for every day of the month, and then some.

We’ve included a good mix of entirely new recipes, like our spicy cottage cheese pasta, our BBQ brown sugar roasted cauliflower, and our corn & ricotta pasta, as well as some old favorites, like our chicken teriyaki pineapple bowls, our pesto salmon, and our spaghetti lo mein. Looking for an easy weeknight dinner on the grill? Our grilled baked potatoes, our chicken, corn & tomatoes foil packs, and our cowboy steak will feed your whole crew, but don't take too much effort. Craving a hearty pasta? Check out our taco mac & cheese, our baked cream cheese pasta, or our shrimp bruschetta pasta. They’ve got all the components you love, but with a fresh, summery twist.

Feeling the back to school crunch (or just feeling the pressure of only so many beach days left)? You need quick and easy meals that keep you out of the kitchen, like our black bean tostadas, our flatbread pizzas, our loaded campfire nachos, or our Buffalo chicken wraps. They come together fast, are full of flavor, and are pretty tasty even when you’ve gotta eat them on the run.

Speaking of campfire, August is one of the better months to hit the great outdoors. Check out our top camping recipes, as well as our favorite camping cocktails and snackstoo.
