Summer Entertaining

Summer entertaining can be a big chunk of your summer fun.
I'm gonna learn some recipes so that I can whip up a delicious home made, healthy meal.
With the help of Hello Fresh I have a few recipes to try:
1. lunch with your best & oldest friend. I have moved almost 2 hours from her when I used to live only an hour away. But, it is said:"The road to a friend is never long." I moved to Shirley from Oceanside and entertained 2 couples for a summer dinner.
Robin brought me beautiful white table accessories from Portugal, a pitcher, bowl and candy dishes. They looked great on my table with a French Country table cloth bought in St. Tropez at the outdoor flea market.

Cheryl brought sunflowers in a low glass vase, roasted veggies & iced tea with mint and strawberries.
We had wine and handmade ice cream for dessert. It was easy to set out a buffet and all could help themselves to bread, salmon, salads, veggies & couscous .... ice-cream make your own sundaes.
