Super Bowl is in two weeks (GO PATRIOTS!) and it’s time to start planning out your spread! We love watching the game with friends and always have a variety of items to feast on! Let’s be honest – good food equal good times!
To help set up that great spread, I have created a variety of food labels to enhance the table and guide guests to their various choices. Setting up a sandwich spread or a variety of snack food – check out the food labels below!
As you may have already guessed – one of my favourite summer activities is to barbecue anything and everything! I love the flavours and the whole process is fun and easy. Summer never truly feels like summer to me until we bust out that bbq and start grilling. My husband usually does all the grilling in the family which I am thankful for because it allows me to finish up a few additional items when company is coming over! Also he just makes it taste better! A few years back I discovered grilling fruits and we were hooked! Have you ever tried grilled pineapple? A MUST try!
This week I wanted to venture down the avenue of grilled peaches – my favourite fruit to grill. The warming of the peach just makes everything extra delicious- think of peach cobbler or peach pie without the crust! Grilled peaches are an easy dessert to whip up and can be served in many different ways. I’ve compiled a few of my favourites below – I hope you get to try them out at your next bbq!
Summer is in full force and I am loving it! As the weekends go by, I am checking things off my summer entertaining bucket list and enjoying the ease of summer entertaining (if you missed the post make sure you check it out!).
One of the main things everyone looks forward to when summer arrives is hosting an epic barbecue meal with your friends and family. I absolutely adore being outside, sipping on cocktails, prepping food and watching while my husband works the grill. I find bbq’s are the easiest thing to put together AND to cleanup – hurray for simple entertaining!
I personally find entertaining fun because I enjoy the prep work that keeps me organized when guests are here. I know that not everyone finds it as easy going and most people get stressed out when cooking for a crowd. I wanted to put together an easy checklist for you to use when hosting bbq’s this summer – anything that makes your life easier is my mission! This checklists goes over various categories of the bbq and provides ideas of items you can serve to your guests. It is not intended to be used as an all or nothing list (that would be nearly impossible!) but more of a guide reminder so you do not miss the tomatoes or buns that are needed.
I hope you enjoy the list and benefit from the organization!

Summer is all about easy living and my goal is to bring you simple, quick recipes throughout the season. I know I do not want to spend the time in front of a stove all day and I doubt you do as well.
This recipe below falls under the category of “simple to do but looks impressive” and is sure to wow at your next bbq or potluck gathering! I made them for my brother-in-laws birthday and everyone loved them!
I cannot think of anything more refreshing on a hot summer day than a fresh cold smoothie! Strawberry season is in full force and I have been loving it so far. For some reason the last few years have been “meh” on the strawberry selection in stores but this year I have already had a few amazing bunches! Can’t wait for more.
I have been wanting to do this flavour combination for a long time and now that summer has arrived, I can’t wait to have this smoothie on rotation. In my pursuit to engage in more dairy free meals, I found a perfect substitute for the regular yogurt I added in parfaits – Yoso Vanilla Coconut Yogurt. It is on the sweeter side of things which makes it a perfect smoothie add in. The mix between strawberries and coconut is the perfect summer blend! PS – how adorable are these owl glasses below ?!
