We are in the midst of a killer heatwave (hopefully not literally) with temps well over 110 degrees through the weekend. I don't feel like doing anything. Particularly not sitting in front of a hot computer, so let's just get right to it today shall we?
I posted a few recipes this week as well as some heatwave memes.
Welcome back to the Happiness is Homemade Link Party #228
I hope you had a great 4th of July if you are here in the USA. We had a lot of fun with our communities annual Parade and Festival. With the holiday being on a Wednesday, we here are all confused feeling like Thursday was another Monday. But it is so much fun to have another weekend after the 4th to spend with family. A perfect weekend for more picnics, barbeques, and patriotic kids activities.
So happy we are full swing into Summer! ~Susan @craftingafamily.com
On with this week's features!
For every summer picnic, you always have a bunch of condiments that clutter up the table and never look nice. What a great idea from Live Craft Love to make your table beautiful. BBQ Condiment Bar for Summer Parties.
Macaroni Salad is a picnic basic and I love the added creaminess of this Cheddar version. It looks amazing. Kim from Cozi Nest has a roundup of 4 versions of Macaroni Salad. The one featured here is from Jo-Anna at A Pretty Life.
You will fall in love with the Summer Patio Outdoor Beverage Cart and put this on your list of projects for next summer. The design from Jen at Clean & Scentsible will make any outdoor space a vacation.
There is nothing better than a casserole for your picnic. One dish that you can make ahead and reheat for your family get together. Check out Culinary Envy's Pepperoni Pizza Chicken Bake recipe.
