In the summer I love barbecues. Vegetables or meat, anything is great on the fire. Add a beer or a lemonade and I am ready for a perfect summer day. What is your perfect summer day?

I love barbecues, too! My perfect summer day would start with iced coffee and probably breakfast, enjoyed al fresco with my family. 🙂
A day spent with friends and family by my pool just eating, drinking, and playing .
My perfect summer day is barbecuing for my family , getting in the pool, and playing c
Nice!
Thank you!
Hanging out with friends, enjoying burgers and beer.
Barbecues and pool equal my perfect summer day!
Summer means meat! -Laurel
Perfect summer day…hmm… a long table filled with fresh food and great tastes, laughter, sunshine, and at the end sleepy happy eyes. 🙂
Lovely!
My perfect summer day…is one spent with my husband and all the kids – maybe at the beach or lounging around the pool culminating in a bbq dinner.
Nice!
Bbqs are the very best!
Time spent at the beach with a good book, followed up with a backyard barbecue would be my perfect summer day. 😊
Nice!
I always think of watermelon and salad 🙂
Sounds great!
That picture.
My perfect summer day would be reading a book while sunbathing, having a glass of iced coffee and bites of watermelon and then barbecue in the evening. Xx
Sounds great!
Perfect summer day: walk on the beach, lunch at a local pub, drinks with friends and dinner of smoked barbecue meats & veg. Bed at 1am 🙂
Summer, Fall, Winter or Spring, my favorite days are the day I make people smile with my food!
today was nice, we were on a small electric boat, which glided very quietly among the reeds in a wetland center, watching the birds and hoping to see a watervole. we didnt but we did see a kingfisher, ducks with their bottoms up and dragonflys
Hiking in the hills, sandwiches and home-made granola bars.
I would love to eat ice cream and watch a nice movie with my family.
Champagne on the beach.
Today is perfect because it is raining, keeping me inside to catch up on some things.
Relaxing inside or out. Icecream, sorbet or a cooling drink. Healthy eating wise, fish, veg and salads. Not forgetting fruit and yogurts.
It’s the middle of winter in Sydney – but we plan for a family BBQ on Sunday. A drop of red will keep me warm as I turn the steaks :-o)
Nice!
Bbqed vegetables with the meat. The whole meal is on there. They are the best bbq’s.
Totally unfair as half of us are stuck in winter staring at cabbage, kale and broccoli wondering what to do for dinner tonight ❄️😉 I can dream of a summer’s day with my love at our favourite beach followed by a dinner of fish and chips as the heat lingers after the setting sun. All while I’m huddled around the heater searching for warmth.
You will get your summer
Recently …a favorite was kayaking with my hubby on a lake, a wonderful lazy day.😍
A tent, a campfire, and some amazing hiking! With amazing friends or alone – both are perfect.
Sitting under the thick shade of a neem tree with my Kindle or paper-book (SF preferably or even PG Wodehouse if I am nostalgic). Breakfast – mangoes and cold milk; lunch – chicken biryani and yoghurt and onions; dinner – lentils, okra and chapatis (unleavened bread). The day is spent keeping hydrated with nimbu paani (lemonade spiced up with rock salt), unripe mango drinks and bael (Aegle marmelos also known as wood apple, Bengal quince, golden apple) juice. Oh! and the driving beat of Progressive music……
A better option is to escape the scorching heat is to drive up to the Himalayan foothills and go trekking.
Sounds great!
Having lunch with my boyfriend by the sea and then going for a dip after!
Hmmm for the absolute perfect summer day I’d have to create a Frankenstein’ish world-map creature of my fondest memories I guess 😀 An early breakfast, just past dawn, when everything is pink and orange, at a tiny seaside café in Funchal/Madeira with the crashing waves of the atlantic keeping hubby, me and our breathtaking view of the archipelago company. A long walk along the hidden beaches near Barcelona, leading to a lunch at a wine estate settled in uh… Tuscany, the Provence, South Africa or the area around Lake Constance – where only the colors and the scents of the flora around you may tell you which country you’re in, exactly. An after-lunch bookworm session under a tree. no matter where that tree has grown it’s roots on our planet. To earn ourselves some serious grub for dinner, I’d say, a long forest-hike would be a good thing – I’ve done too many of those in too many countries to name them all, but again, Madeira comes to mind, the Levada do Caldeirao Verde hike in particular. After that, the perfect setting for a well deserved open-air feast with all our friends would be, quite close to home, Castle Guttenberg – a knights feast with a breathtaking view of the landscape and the birds of prey flying in and out of their coops at the German Raptor Research Center (ever had a monk vulture *walking* by your table and eyeing your steak…?) – or simply an extended BBQ in our backyard.
It’s fun to see that, no matter where any one of us is sitting at the moment, all of us seem to have hot coals, cold drinks and our friends in our perfect-day schedule 😀 BBQ unites the world~!
Wow!!! I want to be there for one day.
Steamed crabs and corn on the cob.
Always nice to spend some time reading a post on your blog Gabi! Which is one of the reasons I nominated you for the Blogger Recognition Award 🙂 You can find my post here https://nathalieyogini.wordpress.com/2017/07/14/my-very-first-blogger-recognition-award/
Congratulations and keep up the good work! xx
Thank you for your nomination
I have been obsessed with making BBQ Ribs and Homegrown tea with Lemon Balm and Stevia! It’s amazing! 😍
Nice!
Spending quality time with husband and baby, outdoors, maybe camping!! And eating BBQ!! Or burgers…
I love a day biking, then some adult beverages on the patio, followed by a BBQ cooked by my hubs. -Kat
I love beach days and ice-cream 🙂
My hammock, a good read and a glass of wine 😎
Reblogged this on Wag 'n Bietjie.
My perfect summer day is going to the beach with my family and enjoying the lovely sea breeze sans the humid air. It’s usually a great time unless the seagulls and ants decide our food is theirs for the taking.
My perfect summer day is swimming in the ocean at the beach, or in a lake in the woods. Hot weather, cool water, and the smell of saltwater on the beach or of pine in the woods.
For me a perfect summer day would be spent with my boyfriend and/or best friends, somewhere near a water source-sea, river, lake- but in the shade. I would say that my favourite snack is a fresh vegetable salad with Romanian goat cheese (amazing!). I also like cocktails with rum or fruity beer. I’m happy to have discovered your blog as I will be a mother soon (am a bit scared) and I can’t wait to use some of your ideas for my baby’s food. Like you, I also take photos, mostly with landscapes and sunsets. Good luck with the motherhood and the blog! 🙂
Thank you. Congratulations!
My perfect summer day would definitely include some afternoon tea!
Mmmm. Summer picnic barbeques on Grandma and Grandpa’s farm with all the cousins, a few little fireworks, bbq burgers and corn, and watermelon.

Going hiking along a crystal clear stream. Then a picnic lunch.
We barbecue all summer in our urban backyard. But for a truly perfect day, I’d need to barbecue on the beach. Preferably in Hawaii. 🙂
A trip to the farmer’s market then home to make breakfast with our purchases. Grilling in the evening and maybe some swimming in between
