A Summer Salad Board!

A summer salad board is a wonderful way to present a light, casual meal.  I’m a big fan of charcuterie boards and this twist is one of my favorites!  It’s a super easy way to present a healthy meal option in beautiful fashion.  If you have a large board or platter you’re equipped with what you need…along with your nibbling options!  You can go right from your kitchen to patio table and allow your family or guests to dine in serve-yourself style.  Just like a traditional charcuterie, pile on all your favorites for a customized meal!  Let’s enjoy summer with no-stress outdoor dining!

Sushi served on the patio is an easy and delicious way to celebrate summer!  Now that outdoor dining weather is finally here, this simple meal idea couldn’t be easier for it.  And if you’re like me, I’m always up for anything alfresco!  Grab a few rolls from your favorite carryout or grocer and fill a sampler plate for your guests…it can be as simple as that!  And you know how I love to reuse & recycle so I’m sharing a few affordable ways to make it feel festive too!  Grab your chopsticks and let’s take this party outside!

Backyard Picnic Party Ideas

Summer is the season for being outdoors…and a backyard picnic might be just the right way to celebrate the last days of the season before the school bells start ringing!  And even if your kiddos have already gone back to the classroom, a picnic could be a fun, after-school surprise or a back-to-school celebration!  I love a picnic for so many reasons…you can sit right on the ground, set your “table” with disposable products, and serve up simple, yet delicious food…just to name a few!  So the other day I decided that it had been too long since our last family picnic so I set up some easy, dinnertime fun right outside our backdoor!  Let me share how this backyard picnic was a whimsical way to bring my family together for an evening of summertime food, good conversation, and a few giggles along the way!
