My 4th of July was utterly delightful.  Friends, laughter, food, drinks and sunshine all by the pool…what could be better?

It almost rained on our parade when we found out the fancy gas grill we were planning on using wasn’t working.  Luckily, we pulled it together and used an old school charcoal grill.

Check out my weekly “what I love” post here and stay tuned for something new on Monday!

Try out Food Network’s buffalo chicken mac & cheese…ASAP!

I recently discovered Food Buzz.  I love this site!  Not sure what took me so long to find it.

In the upcoming week I’ll share my test kitchen experiments: iced coffee and berries w/sweet cream (I’ll also let you in on the fab blog where I found it!).

In the meantime, enjoy the weekend and make rum-soaked strawberries or tequila spiked watermelon.  I did for 4th of July and it was a hit!
