Hi Reader, One of my fondest memories of my dad was sitting in his lap while he read me bedtime stories. I'll never forget his deep voice reading "animal crackers and cocoa to drink, this is the finest of suppers I think" from one of my favorite books. It's funny how the small things stick with us like that. I got to celebrate Father's Day early with my dad this past week when I visited home. Typically we have a barbecue with family as we hate going out for big holidays. There's something special about firing up the grill (or the instant pot) for the dads in our lives. I've rounded up some of my favorite barbecue recipes and crowd-pleasing sides that are sure to make any dad feel celebrated. Do you have any plans? I'd love to hear about it! Reply and let me know!

Hi Reader, I'm super excited for the Fourth of July. We're going to a barbecue, so I'm going to bring a side...and probably something extra because that's how I am. π I'm not sure which dish(es) I'll bring yet though -- I'm so torn! There are too many great options. For me, the side dishes steal the show. Potato and pasta salads, slaws, corn on the cob and cornbread muffins can definitely steal the show, and if you're like me, you're always on the lookout for exciting new recipes. I'm sharing...
Hi Reader, I'm in disbelief that we're over halfway through June already! I've had summer desserts on my mind A LOT lately (I've been especially craving fruit crisp!), so I thought I'd round up a collection of Fourth of July dessert ideas. They're all festive, they feed a crowd, and they can be made in advance. And there's no reason why you have to wait until the Fourth to make these. It's summer after all and these recipes make the most of it. :) Before we get to those, I've got a new recipe...
