Patio Tacos

These tacos are the perfect dinner to have on your patio on a beautiful summer evening.

Normally my family pulls out this recipe as soon as summer hits. We really enjoy it on warm, sunny days.
We bought some nice turquoise and yellow colored plastic plates last year that we enjoy using out on our patio! There's something very refreshing about being able to go outside and have a delicious meal together before the sun goes down.

Honey Sweetened Freshly Squeezed Lemonade

Refreshing, Classic, and irresistible

You may be wondering why I'm sharing lemonade in the middle of winter. I suppose it's because I'm missing summer, and this is a way to bring back a drop of it!

I love how refreshing this drink is. It's so yummy, and I'm transported back to the warm weather of June & July while I sip on this Honey Sweetened Freshly Squeezed Lemonade!

Fresh Strawberry Almond Salad

This is a perfect salad for a summer afternoon. It starts out like a regular garden salad then...wala! you have a fresh, tangy side dish to go along with a wonderful steaming hot main course like this one! 

Classic Caesar Salad

Here's a fresh, classic side dish that goes perfectly with a lasagna, delicious skillet spaghetti, or any main dish of your choosing. It has a nice seasoning taste from the sourdough croutons (or your desired type of croutons) with a delicious mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and pepper sauce along with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese to liven up the fresh romaine lettuce. This makes a easy salad that you'll love for a quick snack, side dish, or a healthy lunch option.

Summer Carrot Smoothie

After a month of being away in the UK touring sites such as Giants Coseway, Windsor Castle, Edinburgh Castle, and the family farm in Ireland, I've (Liz) arrived home freshly enthused to get back in the kitchen!

Last night I was craving a fresh unique smoothie so badly since I hadn't had much of that kind of thing the past few weeks; so I went and looked around in my fridge to see what I had...and wala!...I came up with this yummy Summer Carrot Smoothie. :)
