Summer is the perfect chance to walk a few blocks from the street from the Redwood Campus Canter to the Baltimore Farmers’ Market for some fresh fruit or over to Oriole Park to catch a game. However, it is also the perfect time to check out some of the top kitchen trends of the year and learn some new summer recipes to add a little flavor to apartment living in the summer.

Delicious Recipes for the Summer

Without a doubt, summer grilling is one of the best aspects of eating in the summer. However, you don’t have to give up grilled food just because you live in an apartment in Baltimore. Instead, learn how to use your oven broiler to give meats and vegetables a nice grilled finish. You can get the same charring and caramelization if you are careful and patient. You can also consider buying a small kitchen grill like the Foreman grill for quick burgers or hot dogs on summer nights.

Using Your Kitchen Space to the Fullest

Just because you can’t paint your kitchen doesn’t mean that you can’t make your kitchen look amazing during the summer months. Start with the curtains in the room. Think color and texture if you want to stay in fashion with current kitchen trends. If you want to create an accent wall, consider removable wallpaper which won’t harm the wall and is a great way to catch grease from the stove of other appliances. Just make sure that you leave some spice on your counter for a blender, because you will need some mixed drinks to top off your grilled dinner.

Open the windows and let the fresh summer air in while you look over kitchen trends and think about how to enjoy apartment living in Baltimore this summer. With so much to do and try, entertaining is easy if you learn how to grill inside and make awesome cocktails. May this summer be the best yet!
