Making your own lemonade is easy and allows you to control how much sugar is in it. You can make a large batch and store it in the refrigerator or make it to order by the glass. This rendition of lemonade is tart but you can add more sugar to taste.
Crab cocktail is a light and refreshing meal for a warm summer night. The crab can be shelled and the sauce can be made in advance so it makes a quick and easy appetizer or dinner, and is a perfect no-fuss meal for guests.
This homemade version of cocktail sauce is great for crab or shrimp cocktail. I love the kick from the horseradish but if you don’t like spice you can reduce the amount of horseradish or omit it altogether.
These Tiffany’s-inspired cupcakes were an elegant dessert to help my niece celebrate her 13th birthday in style. They are simple, easy to make and sophisticated, perfect for a special occasion.
These Nutella and chocolate marshmallow cream-filled cupcakes are a great way to make a standard chocolate cupcake more special.
For an easy 4th of July breakfast, top the pancakes of your choice with strawberries, homemade whipped cream and blueberries for a red, white and blue treat.
These ribs are great for any BBQ or picnic. The key is to sear the meat on high for a couple of minutes to lock the juices inside, and then slow-cook them until done so that they remain tender.
Most kids like Sausage and Egg McMuffins from McDonald’s so this sausage and egg sandwich is an easy sell for breakfast. Making them at home is easier than you think and a whole lot better for you and your family. I like making the sausage using ground chicken or turkey.
This sausage can be formed into patties or links for a breakfast sandwich, or even cooked as ground sausage to be used in a breakfast casserole. The brown sugar is optional but I like how sweet plays with spicy.
Red, white and blue strawberries are a simple yet festive way to celebrate the 4th of July. Let the whole family help make them.
