Burgers
Homemade burgers are one of those great foods that are good any time of the year. In the summer, fire up the grill and throw some patties on. Top with your favorite toppings (like spicy mayo and caramelized onions, or maybe a wasabi-mayo slaw?) and serve on a bun. Can't grill? No problem! Burgers are also good pan fried or broiled.
