Hi there I hope you had a great 4th of July! Hoyt's two sons, Spencer and Pierce, came to spend the day with us. We grilled, played games and watched the fireworks. It was wonderful but very low key. I'm still
nursing my broken ankle. It's been almost 8 weeks and I'm still having to wear a boot. Next week I see the doctor and I'm hopeful I can begin physical therapy soon and can be walking boot free! This weekend we plan to just relax. We have no major plans except going to the farmer's market Saturday. I can't wait to see what's there! I know for sure there will be local strawberries! I can't wait to buy some!
Move over banana bread. Don't get me wrong, I love my best ever Blender Banana
Bread but, why not change things up this weekend and bake my Strawberry Bread! It's so easy so yummy and a taste of summer! That pretty strawberry glaze on top makes it extra special! You gotta try it!
Speaking of strawberries, how cute are these Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries! So much easier than baking a cheesecake! You can whip these up in minutes! These will be a winner at your backyard BBQ for sure! Click DESSERTS for more sweet summer treats.
We've been grilling all week. I'm lovin' it. I'm a bit tired of brats and burgers. Why not try something different! My Steak and Veggie Kabobs are easy breezy but they feel so fancy! I make crazy good Chicken
and Veggie Kabobs too with an amazing 2 ingredient marinade! You know what they say, everything tastes better on a stick! I agree! Click
DINNER for more fun summer recipes.
On side why not change things up too! In the summer we like to keep it light. I love kabobs over rice or couscous. My Mushroom Couscous is so good! It's good for you too! Don't like mushrooms or tomatoes, leave them out and add the veggies and herbs you like! If you are new to making couscous, no worries I got ya! I have so many fun Kitchen Secrets, Tips and Tricks! Read my blog How To Cook Couscous for perfect couscous every time!
Every summer party needs a delicious dip or two! My grandmother Mimi's Crab Dip is a family favorite. Mimi is no longer with us but she LOVED summer and having summer parties! Every time I make this I think of her and all the fun summers on Walloon Lake we had! I sure do miss you Mimi! Click APPETIZERS for more of my favorite recipes to get the party started!
Tune in this weekend to watch me make one of my favorite summer chicken
salad recipes on Fox 6 Wakeup in Milwaukee at 8:50am this Sunday morning! Hope you'll watch!
