Happy Independence Day weekend!!
Break out the sparklers! After the patriotism and fireworks to celebrate our country’s independence, July 4th is all about the food.
You know it’s true. Patriotic holidays = overeating at its finest.
Firing up the grill, throwing on tons of juicy burgers, hot dogs & brats, steaks, ribs, and corn on the cob. Eating watermelon by the pound. Bowls of mayo-based salads as far as the eye can see.
Considering that french fries pair so well with all of the above food, I feel like they don’t get their proper due on the Fourth.
We could change (as a nation!) that with these Loaded Buffalo Chicken Baked Potato Fries!
Cantaloupe is one of my favorite fruits. That might be because it’s known as a “beauty fruit”. No it’s not a beauty to look at, but it’s packed with beta-carotene which makes skin beautiful! And who doesn’t love beautiful skin especially when you get to eat delicious fruit to go along with it!
This recipe for a cool, light summer appetizer doesn’t get much fancier – prosciutto, basil leaves, sticks = fancy. But with your flowing skin you feel fancy so it all works out in the end right?
For the past month or so I’ve been enjoying mini bell peppers in my salads and stir fries. Is it just me or are they crunchier and tastier than regular bell peppers? They sure are more colorful!
You know the old saying, “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen?” It’s been a reality around here the last week or so. We’ve had temps reaching over 100 for the past two weeks. Summer arrived with a roar. So, I’ve been conjuring up new recipes to cook on the grill.
Here in South Carolina, we have to deal with the heat and the humidity. It’s like being in a sauna! Humid heat feels much hotter than dry heat. It does a number on my hair, too. Curly hair frizzes and straight hair gets flat and limp.
