Cheeseburger and Veggie Burger Special Sauce.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of BUBBA burger. All opinions are 100% mine.

A cheeseburger or veggie burger on the grill is a favorite way to make a super quick weeknight summer dinner! Paired with a side salad or some French fries, it’s a fast way to get dinner on the table when we’re soaking up all the last bits of summer at the beach or camp or pool. I’m excited to be partnering with BUBBA burger this summer on a tasty burger recipe series, and for a final post in the series I’m going to share my favorite topping for a grilled cheeseburger or veggie burger: my burger special sauce! read more

5 Tips for making better Ooni pizzas.

I have been absolutely loving our Ooni pizza oven since we got it in the early spring and have learned so much in the past several months as I experimented with different doughs and recipes and techniques. Every time I post about our tasty pizzas, I get lots of questions about how difficult it is to use and what the learning curve is like for pizza-oven-newbies. I thought I’d share a few of my best tips for making better Ooni pizzas and help troubleshoot some of the most common pizza oven questions that I get asked! (PS: If you have questions about which Ooni model and accessories are right for you, check out my Ooni review and FAQ post first! read more

Orange Burst Cookies + Creamsicles Ice Cream Sundae.

One of my all-time favorite summer treats is an ice cold creamsicle pop! My friends at Fancypants Baking Comake an Orange Burst cookie that has all those citrus-y orange and sweet vanilla notes of that classic, nostalgic summer treat. Recently after taking my first bite into the Orange Burst cookie, I got a spark of inspiration for combining the cookies and the creamsicles into an over-the-top sundae that tastes like warm sunny days of my childhood! read more

Orange Blossom + Lemongrass Fizz Cocktail and The Patio Candle Collection Launch.

I’m excited to share the launch of a new collaboration with my friends at Feather + Finn – a limited edition citronella candle collection designed for al fresco summer nights! The candles are handcrafted and poured by a local, woman-owned small business, and they’re made with nontoxic ingredients and eco-friendly 100% recycled glass vessels. They’re the kind of entertaining pieces that I use on my own summer tables, and am so excited for them to be on your patios and in your gardens this season too! We collaborated on a bright, fresh scent of orange blossom and lemongrass citronella, I love how the notes bring out the summery smells of my garden and subtly compliment the food I serve when I’m hosting friends and family. The scent was so delightful, that it inspired an Orange Blossom + Lemongrass Fizz cocktail that I created to match the candles. Shop the patio collection on the Feather + Finn website, and scroll down for the full cocktail recipe – cheers!  read more

Whipped Feta Tzatziki Dip.

I’ve been making this fresh, easy whipped feta tzatziki dip on repeat recently for friends and family. All it takes is four ingredients: store bought tzatziki, feta cheese, a pinch of fresh parsley and drizzle of olive oil, combined in the food processor for a minute or two until the feta dip is well incorporated and smooth. It pairs so well with crisp fresh veggies for a crudite platter, fluffy pita spears or crunchy pita chips are also a winning combination for dipping, and I’ve even used it as a spread on a Greek-inspired sandwich wrap. The flavors are creamy and tangy and bright, a perfect entertaining dish for the season! Get the full recipe below:

Blueberry Vodka Lemonade

My #domestikatehappyhour series is feeling the summer vibes this week with the most refreshing and simple cocktail! This blueberry vodka lemonade is as easy as pouring an infused blueberry vodka over ice and topping it with fresh lemonade and some delightfully fragrant blueberries and mint leaves. I used Van Gogh blueberry vodka for the recipe – Triple Eight blueberry vodka is another favorite – and bought fresh squeezed lemonade from the grocery store. If you like your drink a little bit less sweet and tart, you can also top it halfway with lemonade and finish the rest of the glass off with unflavored soda water. The result is crisp and refreshing and perfect for a hot summer day!  read more

Strawberry Thyme Shrub Cocktail.

It’s been awhile since I’ve made a tasty shrub for cocktails, but I was inspired by the beautiful English thyme that’s popping up in my garden and had a moment of motivation to mix something up for a fresh, spring drink. Shrubs – let’s review – are a syrup made of a combination of fruits, aromatics, sugar, and vinegar. Compared to a basic simple syrup, this mixture has a bit of acidity and depth that makes it a really nice way to balance a drink recipe. I used this strawberry and thyme shrub to dress up a bottle of Prosecco, but it would also taste great with a gin and tonic, or in a non-alcholic drink with plain soda water.
