Summer is just around the corner and if you’re like me, you are looking forward to all of the delicious food whether it’s at a summertime BBQ, down by the water, or a picnic in the park. Being a vegan I know the feeling of going to a public setting where food will be served and not knowing if there’s something suitable for you to eat. The following list will cover some of the most popular summertime foods suitable for some of the most popular dietary preferences that are sure to be crowd-pleasers.

No Dietary Preferences

1. Watermelon Salad - Watermelon salad is the perfect summertime dish that's sure to be a crowd-pleaser. The feta and balsamic glaze topping compliment the watermelon perfectly, making for a sweet and salty appetizer. If feta isn't an option, you could always do a blue cheese, however, I'd be surprised if that's the case as feta is one of the most popular cheeses according to NinaTeicholz.com.

2. Pasta Salad - Everyone loves pasta, and you can't go wrong with pasta salad. Instead of cooking a hot pasta dish, opt for a nice and cold pasta salad with some veggies thrown into the mix.

Vegan

1. Beyond Meat Burgers - Put one of these bad boys on the grill and I can promise you all of the non-vegan folk you’re with won't realize that the patty isn’t actually meat. A study from FoodNavigator.com suggests that 70% beyond meat purchasers are meat eaters themselves.

2. Lemon Blueberry Muffins - Often times, people don’t realize deserts can be vegan. There’s no better way to prove them wrong then to bake a delicious and citrusy sweet to blow their minds. Pro tip: don't tell them you replaced the egg with applesauce, it scares many folks away.

Ketogenic

1. Deviled eggs - Deviled eggs are not just for Thanksgiving dinner ladies and gentleman. They are a wonderful appetizer that fit into the ketogenic diet.

2. Cauliflower potato salad - Of course, I had to include a cauliflower recipe on this list with it's ever increasing popularity. Subbing cauliflower for anything that requires carbs such as rice, potatoes, pizza crust, and more is a really great way to cut down.

Paleo

1. Lemon Basil Shrimp Skewers - Protein and skewers? Sounds like a summertime dish to me. These skewers are light, refreshing, and work great with the paleo diet.

2. Grilled Pineapple and Lobster Salad - Can you think of anything more refreshing than a grilled pineapple and lobster salad? I sure can't. Grilling any fruit and throwing it with a meat or fish is a wonderful way to compliment the meal and throw in a summer twist.

Which one of these recipes will you be testing out this summer?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
