Summer’s beautiful melon makes life so much better in this refreshing cocktail featuring sweet watermelon and fresh lime juice.

Cornish Game Hens

July 7, 2020

Few people think to prepare Cornish hens except for special occasions. I like to make them because they are easy to cook. Not only are they tender and delicious, but they can be ready to serve in just an hour.

Picnic Produce

July 4, 2020

I love picnics and simplicity is the key ingredient for a pleasant picnic. With farm markets opening, stock up on fresh fruits, berries, and vegetables for the picnic basket. Healthy seasonal vegetables can be lightly grilled for summer picnics. Whether you’re going to the beach, a park, or your own patio, dining outdoors is a nice way to enjoy life.

Homemade Waffle Cones

July 1, 2020

For me the cone is as important as the ice cream. I’ve been making my own ice cream these days so I decided to try my hand at making waffle cones. Homemade Waffle Cones are excellent for holding scoops of your favorite homemade ice cream. Make sure to cook each cone for at least one minute before lifting the lid of the waffle cone maker so that the batter has time to get firm.

Slaw With Lime Vinaigrette

June 27, 2020

When I have a lot of people coming over for a party I like to make ahead as much as I can. I make this slaw the day before and, quite frankly, it’s so much better the next day anyway.

Cookie S’mores

June 26, 2020

Graham crackers are fine, but I prefer using cookies when I indulge in making s’mores. You can use any cookie that you like, but remember that homemade tastes so much better.

Burger Salad

June 25, 2020

Often times I don’t’ want to spend my calories on the bun, but still want to have burger night. Burger Salad is a good way to “have your burger and eat it too.”

Avocados With Crab Salad

June 24, 2020

Crab goes so well with rich avocados, which makes a filling yet healthy lunch. Besides being delicious, it’s very easy to prepare and presents well.

Kebab Marinade

June 23, 2020

Making your own marinade is an easy and creative way to add flavor to a recipe. You can let the food soak up the marinade for a few hours or even brush it on right before grilling. This is a balsamic and soy sauce-based marinade that works well with many meat and vegetables.

Cucumber Yogurt Salad

June 22, 2020

I love cucumbers because they are so refreshing. This simple cucumber salad is nice in the summer and can be served alongside most any main dish, but is especially good with grilled fish. Save time and make it ahead and chill it before serving at your summer cookout.
