Check out 12 Great Outdoor Entertaining Recipes
by Tiffany Noth at Foodie.com


I am so excited that warmer weather is finally here.  Though it isn't officially Summer - we are enjoying our backyard and the outdoors once again!  We love to have lunch or dinner out on our patio and invite our family and friends over to enjoy food from the grill and treats from the bonfire.   

I've put together a delicious collection of Outdoor Entertaining items that I would love to try this year and in the future.  I'm not sure which meats we'll try first - but we'll probably try a couple of them the first time around!

Pork chops are one of my favorite items to grill.  There are so many different marinades and seasonings to try - I'm not sure which has been my favorite.  (Though I tend to lean toward anything BBQ!).  I'm looking forward to trying the Grilled Mongolian Pork Chops this Summer!

I have tried everything I can think of to help Dan become a fan of watermelon.  It is one of my favorite Summer foods.  For me, just adding a dash of salt makes it the perfect side item or snack.  He doesn't care for it so much.  However, he does love Jalapeno.  So perhaps, he'll enjoy this Grilled Watermelon with Smoked Salt and Jalapeno Rings recipe



For the kids, I'm going to try the Honey Barbeque Chicken Drumsticks.  They've inherited their mamas love for barbeque - so I'm sure it will be a win for them if it's on a drumstick!

I think it's amazing all of the different recipes I've been able to find for hot dogs!  Something that, quite honestly seems so plain and boring, can actually be made and seasoned hundreds of ways.  I'll give these Killer Bacon-Cheese Dogs a try!  They had me at bacon!

It looks like we have a delicious Summer ahead of us!  Which of the recipes will you try?

31 Decadent Mother's Day Desserts

Thursday, May 1, 2014




Have you put together a menu for your Mother's Day celebration? One of my favorite parts of any celebration or get-together is the food! I enjoy trying to create a new dish and love the unique items that everyone else has brought. Though, I'll have to admit that my favorite table is always the dessert table!

I've put together a delicious collection of Mother's Day dessert items that I would love to try this year and in the future.  I'm having a difficult time deciding what to try and create first.

I enjoy all types of sweets - especially when you mix the tartness of a strawberry with something sweet. I think the Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries is a fun twist on one of my favorite desserts! The bit-sized treat is sure to be a hit.

Dan makes the best Peanut Butter Pie that I have ever tried - but I think the Peanut Butter Brownie Dessert may be just as tempting to try.

However, I have always enjoyed the Banana Split Cake that my mother makes for family get-togethers. The Banana Split Ice-Cream Cake may be a fun twist on her creation and I think it would be fun to do something similar to her best know dessert dish.

I may come home with the ingredients to several of these desserts - I can't decide which one I'd like to try first!

What are you making for your Mother's Day celebration? I'd love to hear your ideas, so please leave a comment below!

If you make any of the items on this list - I'd love to see the results!

I hope it is a happy and delicious Mother's Day!
