Summer is the season of easy joy—sunshine-filled days, last-minute get-togethers, and meals that feel like a reward after a day well spent. At Acres & Oak Kitchen, we believe food should fit into your life, not the other way around. That’s why our summer-friendly dishes are crafted to make your favorite activities even more enjoyable.
Whether you're lounging poolside, packing a picnic, or hosting a backyard bash, here are five ways to soak up the season—with delicious help from Acres & Oak Kitchen.
1. Park Picnics & Creamy Classics
Load up a cooler, grab a blanket, and hit your favorite local park for a picnic under the trees. Our Pimento Cheese is a Southern staple that spreads perfectly onto crackers or fresh baguette slices. Add some fruit, sparkling lemonade, and a good book - and you’ve got yourself a picture-perfect afternoon.
2. Backyard Game Nights & Bold Flavors
Whether it’s cornhole, card games, or a family round of charades, snacks are non-negotiable. Our Buffalo Chicken Dip brings just the right amount of heat and comfort to your table. It’s a fan favorite that pairs well with chips, celery sticks, or even scooped onto a toasted bun for a spicy slider.
3. Poolside Lounging & Light Summer Bites
After a dip in the pool, keep things light and flavorful with our Lemon Chicken Pasta. This refreshing entree features tender chicken, al dente pasta, and a citrusy sauce that’s perfect for summer appetites. It’s ready in minutes - no need to interrupt your tan time.
4. Easy Dinners After Busy Days
Not every summer evening calls for grilling. On days when you’re running from ballgames to errands to evening plans, our Pesto Chicken is the perfect no-fuss dinner. Juicy chicken smothered in vibrant pesto sauce with capellini noodles - just pop it in the oven and unwind while it bakes.
5. Hosting Without the Hassle
Got guests coming over? Keep it effortless and delicious. Put out our Pimento Cheese, Spinach Dip, and Buffalo Chicken Dip with a spread of fresh veggies, toasted bread, and chips. You’ll have a full snack table in under 15 minutes - with no stove stress and all the flavor.
