Summer is coming - time to get cookin'

Long lazy days, warm nights, trips to the beach - there are so many things to love about summer. But it should come as no surprise that here at Ruma's perhaps our favorite thing about summer is the FOOD!

There are so many fresh flavors to be enjoyed on the grill, in salads and desserts or whipped up in refreshing beverages - we thought what better time than on the cusp of the unofficial start of summer (Memorial Day weekend is just around the corner!) to introduce Ruma's Recipe of the Week.

Every Wednesday we'll bring you a great new seasonal recipe to try. Let us know what you think!
