Hello, friends! Thanks for coming by!
A belated Happy Canada Day to my friends north of the border and Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans!
We took a little vacation at the end of the week to host some friends to our beautiful sunny shores. It was an amazing and very busy time. There isn’t much better than spending time with people you love who live so far away.
Are you hosting family or friends this holiday?
I love it when friends put in a request for one of their favorite foods. It’s so fun to cook for people who want to enjoy my cooking. Today’s features include 12 delicious recipes to make for your family or your next get-together. Check out these simple summer recipes shared with us at last week’s edition of Project Inspire{d}! And be prepared to fill up your Pinterest board with fun new recipes.

Hey Mary Beth! Loved reading about your vacation and all those yummy recipes. The grilled peaches with mascarpone sound divine! I once tried making a similar fruit dessert for a gathering and it was a hit. Do you have a favorite among these 12 recipes? And how do you decide which ones to whip up when hosting?
