Family Foodies

With July 4th rounding the corner, and summer sunshine bursting into every nook and cranny of my house – it’s time to think about Picnics and Barbecues!!!

These are some of the best moments of summer and certainly bring a ton of fun without a lot of effort!  Get togethers with family & friends – grilled hot dogs, sausages, chicken, or hamburgers – kiddie pools and popsicles – fireflies and fireworks – all leading up to The Grand Finale:

DESSERT!

Here’s a list of enticing desserts and sweet summer treats that you should consider for your next family reunion, picnic, or backyard barbecue:

We had beautiful, warm weather last weekend (of course it is cold again now).  But when the Spring settles in – I break out the BBQ tools – for my husband.

I cook every meal. Except BBQ.  That is his domain. So, when we BBQ, I make sure we get a BUNCH of meals out of it.

Here’s what we typically make:

4-6 chicken breasts
4-6 hamburgers
8 hot dogs

I prep all of the food, so all he has to do is cook.  Which means, by the time dinner rolls around, all I have to do is EAT.
