Dill, has become a bit of an obsession for me this summer. I absolutely can not get enough of it. So, when I had a party recently I looked for something with fresh dill in it. These shrimp sliders were the answer. They were absolutely delicious, easy to make, could be made ahead, and reasonably priced. What more can you ask for when entertaining? I modified this recipe slightly from a Barefoot Contessa recipe by cutting it in half, and putting it on a slider bun with arugula as an appetizer. …
Frozen French Lemonade
I tell you, those LCBO Food & Drink magazines are like my bible when it comes to drinks. I found this recipe for Frozen French Lemonade in my 2006 edition and had to try it!

It's the Very Berry Sangria. Please, for the love of good sangria, do not confuse it with that Boone's crap you can buy at the liquor store. *shiver* THAT is not sangria. If you're ever in a bind and must buy sangria bottled make sure it's Real Sangria. But if you visit here regularly, you know that …
Grilled Pineapple Sundaes
I'm a sucker for sweets. When I saw this recipe for Grilled Pineapple Sundaes with Rum Butter Sauce, I was pretty much done in. I whipped up my own homemade Vanilla Ice Cream and followed the directions. It was soooo yummy. Related, Rum Butter Sauce, may be addictive. I plan to use it for grilled bananas, crepes, baked apples, apple crumble pie, with brownies, as a drink...I kid, I kid. That would be silly.
