BBQ Season Is Almost Here 🔥
|
Hello there, Reader! In last week’s newsletter, I shared A Taste of Home for Mother's Day 🌸! If you missed it, you can catch up HERE. BBQ season is just around the corner—and honestly, I couldn’t be happier. This time of year is all about simple meals, fresh ingredients, and gathering outside whenever possible. Whether you’re planning casual weeknight grilling or weekend get-togethers with family and friends, a few reliable recipes can make things easy (and delicious). This week, I’m sharing a handful of recipes perfect for the start of grilling season—from fresh sides and salads to simple dishes that pair beautifully with anything coming off the grill. Classic BBQ Favorites​Baked Beans​ ​Ribs with Bar B Barn Sauce​ Fresh & Colorful Sides​Carrot Slaw​ ​Celery Root Slaw​ ​Macedonia (Italian Fruit Salad)​ Recipes for the Grill​Grilled Fennel​ ​Garlicky Grilled Polenta​ Something Sweet​Rhubarb Cake​ ​Strawberry Rhubarb Compote​ A Simple Finishing Touch​Balsamic Glaze​ READER REVIEW OF THE WEEK!I made this delightful but changed the recipe a little. I used semolina instead of wholewheat flour only because I didn’t have any. In saying that, the bread has a delightful flavour, very soft, great for a sandwhich. Baked it in a Pyrex dish with a lid. When I cooled it I firstly wrapped it in a cloth as I didn’t want a hard crust and then after about half an hour I placed it on a wire rack. It all worked out. Thanks Kindly.
