Most of us already have a favorite pasta salad in our cooking repertoire. But do you have the perfect pasta salad that you can whip up for any summer party, picnic, or BBQ?
I definitely didn’t before this!…
Sweet and salty pair perfectly in this Watermelon Salad Recipe with Feta! It’s a delicious refreshing side dish for a hot summer day. Growing up, our summertime meals consisted mostly of fresh veggies. Sweet grilled corn on the cob. Sliced red tomatoes with my mom’s sweet creamy white dressing. Summer squash sautéed with garlic, olive oil, and salt. Steamed green beans with butter. Bowls of leafy greens....
This Watermelon Salad Skewers Appetizer is sweet, salty, and savory with fresh juicy watermelon, tomato, basil, and feta. It’s perfect for packing on your next summer picnic! One of the most quintessential summer foods is watermelon, and for good reason. Not only is it delicious, but it’s about 92% water. It’s refreshing, as well as a great way to help stay hydrated. And it’s fun!...
Gluten-free Parmesan and Garlic White Bean Patties feature the flavors of white beans, garlic, rosemary, and olive oil in little nibbles that are perfect for a party or picnic. The beauty of a good little nibble is that it can be served hot, warm, or at room temperature. Something you can set out hot at the beginning of a party and not have to worry about reheating an hour later (that is, if there are any left) because a) there isn’t anything in them that you have to worry about spoiling that quickly, and b) they’re every bit as delicious at room temperature as they […]...
Who doesn’t like a good party, right? Friends, fun, food. There’s nothing not to love. Now, as a food blogger it probably comes as no surprise that I love bringing a dish to pass to a party. I usually have plenty of ideas on what will go over well. (Sports-centric = guy food, holidays = indulgence, and summer potluck = light and fresh!)...
When I think of a picnic, I always think of fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, potato salad, some kind of cooked greens, iced tea, and a big chocolate cake. I realize that this sounds very Southern, which is odd to me because I’m from New York…and I can’t ever remember having a picnic like this in my life! (Who knows, maybe I did when I was a kid and I just don’t remember.)...
It seems like I blinked and now the end of summer is here. (Can I let you in on a little secret? I’m looking forward to summer ending. Fall — ahem, Autumn, which happens to be my niece’s name — is my favorite season for a million reasons, not least of which are chilly temps, cozy sweaters, and warm mulled cider, but I am also head-over-heels in love with winter. And yes, when I tell people that, the most common question I get is Really? Lol, yes, really.) With Labor Day next weekend, I know a lot of people are looking for new twists on picnic […]...
Last Sunday, Mike and I went to a picnic at a friend’s house on the beach. We had such a busy day on Saturday that it wasn’t until late Saturday night that I remembered I had promised to bring a potato salad. I quickly chopped a bunch of potatoes, threw them into a pot, and started to think about what kind of salad I wanted to make with them....
Carrot-Raisin Salad is a deliciously refreshing balance of sweet and savory flavors. What’s your favorite way to celebrate summer? Maybe pool parties, ice cream socials, or a night at the drive-in theater with friends? (I love the drive-in, by the way! Even though every time I go I get bitten alive by mosquitoes and somehow end up freezing halfway through the movie, lol. Still, I can’t let a summer go by without a visit to the drive-in.) ...
This salad really couldn’t be simpler, and it’s just the thing I’ve been craving lately....
