June moves along at a regular pace, then the 4th of July hits, and it seems as if you haven’t even blinked before July is wrapping up and August is prepared to storm through. Perhaps it’s because we’re all just having too much fun: July is a month for abundant cookouts and sunshine, after all!

Your favorite recipes, like chili-lime chicken skewers, marinated fresh tomato sauce, and blueberry buckle totally reflect that. Here are your top 10 favorite new recipes from this past July.
