Summer Recipes

Some of my favorite summer recipes are one-dish meals with summer vegetables like tomatoes and bell pepper. Whether I’m entertaining or cooking up a tasty dinner for just my family, this recipe for my Spanish Chicken & Seafood Paella always comes to mind.

It’s simple to make and comes out even better when cooked in a traditional paella pan.

Hunt’s uses a unique flashsteam peeling method for their diced tomatoes, so I chose Hunt’s Diced Tomatoes with Rosemary & Oregano for an extra garden flavor in the tomato sauce section at Walmart.
