Summer is here! Along with scorchin’ hot weather, long summer nights, and plenty of pool days, many of us are also preparing for summer trips and family reunions. In fact, the summer is the season most Americans travel. Yep, according to a study by U.S. Travel, June is the most popular month to take trips and most Americans will spend their summer visiting relatives. The majority of Americans will choose to stay close to home for their summer vacations instead of traversing abroad. For Arizona and the Phoenix-region, the summer is a huge tourist season. People come from all over the United States (and the world!) to see the wondrous things Arizona has to offer… you know, that really large Canyon is a big deal. 😉
To help you prep for your summer trip and family reunion, we’ve curated a list of our favorite family-friendly recipes. Check out Our Favorite Summer Menu Items for Family Reunions below!
