Appetizer ~ Deviled Eggs
The real secret to perfect deviled eggs is in the filling. It doesn’t matter about anything else if the filling is too thin and can’t stand up to the egg white. Ya gotta give that filling some substance. Discover my secret ingredient that works like a charm!
Beverage ~ Blueberry Sriracha Margarita
Talk about Red, White and Blue! You’ve got it all in this Blueberry Sriracha Margarita. It’s cool, yet spicy…fruity, yet sassy…blue, yet red. Heck, it’s just lip-smacking good. This will definitely be your favorite patriotic drink!
Main Dish ~ Grilled Pork Tenderloin
There’s nothing quite as delicious as pork tenderloin on the grill (ad). It’s tender, flavorful, and sassy when drizzled with my chimichurri sauce. Your family will oooh and ahhhh when you serve this special main dish.
Side ~ Sheet Pan Taters
Need a savory side in a jiffy? Sheet Pan Taters really pack a punch! Red-skin potatoes are dusted with seasonings and olive oil, then baked until golden brown and tender. What could be easier than that?
Side ~ Strawberry Pecan Salad
When I think of food that screams ‘deliciousness’, I think of Strawberry Pecan Salad. The coolness of the berries, feta, and mixed greens compliments many meals. Add pecans for crunch, and you’ve got the perfect treat!
