By the time Labor Day rolls around, at the tail-end of summer, it’s likely that you have a good number of barbecues, clambakes, and alfresco summer dinners under your belt.
And we totally get it if you’re tired of cooking up a storm–but we’re here to convince you that it’s worth it. Labor Day is the last “official” weekend of summer, and there’s no better way to honor the season than by preparing a few summer-ready recipes crafted by our culinary team. Below, we’ve prepared a recipe roundup for finishing summer’s final days on the most delicious note possible.

Breakfast: Blueberry Corn Muffins
Whether you’ve gathered with a group at a beach house or are enjoying a solo staycation, there’s nothing more indulgent than spending time preparing the perfect breakfast. And we can hardly think of a more perfect treat than our blueberry corn muffins. Bonus points if you pick them yourself.
Lunch: Tuna Ceviche
Enjoy the last hot, lazy days of summer with a dish that does them justice: this citrusy, refreshing tuna ceviche, with avocado, red onion, and cilantro. The type of summer-perfect flavors you’ll find yourself craving all winter long.
Dinner Appetizer: Charred Corn Salad with Tomatoes and Lime Dressing
Is anything more summer-forward than delicious charred corn? We work hard to perfect this one by grilling the corn first, then adding it to our delicious lime dressing. And with fresh tomatoes–you might want to make extra.
Dinner Entree: Bavette Steak with Cuban-Style Mojo
If your grill is already on medium-high, which it will be for the corn, there’s no reason not to fire up these delicious steaks and then serve them drizzled with a delicious, Cuban-inspired, herby Mojo sauce. Grilled corn and grilled steak? We’d be hard-pressed to find a more perfect summer dinner.
Drinks: Raspberry Lemon Moscow Mules
This chambord-spiked take on our favorite ginger cocktail brings your Moscow mule to the next level. Serve with fresh raspberries for an extra delicious (and, let’s be honest, photogenic) cocktail.
Dessert: Upscale Banana Pudding
It wouldn’t be a summer dinner without a fruit-based dessert. But, instead of the typical pie-forward fare, we recommend going for our banana pudding. An Americana crowd-pleaser, it’s a delicious, refreshing (best chilled overnight!) way to celebrate the end of our favorite season.
