Pulled Pork Sliders

 Succulent pork loin is simmered in a tangy smoky sauce in the slow cooker until it’s fall apart tender. The next time you have a hankerin’ for tender pulled pork and just don’t feel like tending to the smoker you may or may not have all day, here’s your solution! This is so easy to make and can feed a crowd.  Or just put the leftovers in the freezer for a busy day. Pretty much perfect I’d say!

Tropical Banana Muffins...or perhaps... Cupcakes!

You have a decision to make.  Do you want to go the naughty or nice route? Because let’s be honest; the only difference between a muffin and a cupcake is the frosting!
So, if you’re in the mood for a little indulgence try the Tropical Banana Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting.
If you’re feeling virtuous, have the Tropical Banana Muffins.
There's no bad choice. Or do what I do.
Have both.

Peach Amaretto Trifle

Peach Amaretto Trifle

 

 

Ripe juicy peaches are one of the great joys of summertime. I think the best way to devour them is hovered over the sink to catch all the juice dripping down your chin and wrist. It’s really just sensible; that way you can just hose yourself down right there afterwards! Or eat them in the shower but that might be a bit weird. After you’ve had your fill of slurping down ripe peaches one-by-one you’ll need to make use of them in quantity before they go to the dark side. I present to you, the trifle.  They’re a great dessert for parties, are really easy to make and gorgeous displayed in a clear bowl.

Watermelon and Tomato Summertime Salad with mixed greens and watermelon vinaigrette

Watermelon and Tomato Summertime Salad

with mixed greens and watermelon vinaigrette

 

Watermelon and tomato together?! Yes! These two fruits have very different flavors but shine together with the same salty, spicy treatment (you remember from elementary school that tomato is a fruit right?!).  Topped with a generous sprinkle of tangy feta cheese, it’s summertime perfection.
