July Favorites


Here are my favorite recipes posted to The Messy Apron in the month of July.

Berry and Rhubarb Galette
A simple, rustic berry pie; it's okay if you don't have any rhubarb available in July. This berry pie would be delicious without it!

Chard Tart with Feta Cheese and Olives (see photo above)
A delicious savory tart featuring lots of summer Swiss Chard

Cherry Almond Loaf Cake
An simple loaf cake stuffed with cherries and almonds that comes together quickly in the food processor.

Chinese-Style Barbecue Sauce and Marinade
Laced with sweet and savory hoisin sauce, this is a great marinade for just about any protein you might put on the grill.

Coke Brined Chicken
Give your chicken on the grill a bit of a sweet kick with this brine treatment.

Beans on the grill? Yes, please!

Chocolate ice cream. 'Nuf said.
