People always ask how I do it all… but it’s People always ask how I do it all… but it’s not about doing it all. It’s about making space.✨ No, I don’t have it all together. Yes, I still host dinner parties.🍷 I just believe in the magic of feeding people, welcoming them in, and letting them know they matter. You don’t need more chairs or matching plates—just an open door and an open heart. 💛 If this makes your skirt fly up, join my Substack for more cozy chaos and real-life hosting magic. 💌 Say HOST to join, or head to the link on my page. . . . #PerfectlyImperfect #GatherAnyway #hostingessentials

Who doesn’t love a “flag” made out of chicke Who doesn’t love a “flag” made out of chicken wings and ranch?! Say WINGS for the best way to make your wings (it’s my cheeky hack that requires no frying!)! Now, I don’t have this chicken wing flag as a post on my website… But here are the details you need to know: Use a half sheet pan, or any a sturdy something that has a lip. Make your ranch boats out of foil, and this is just a “trust and go” situation. I love roasting purple peruvian potatoes for the blue part of the “flag.” If you’re feeling extra festive and fancy, stamp out some cheese with star cutters… Serve to your people and enjoy!! P.S. The link will send you to my Garlic Buffalo Chicken Wings… If you want a more “red” hued sauce to keep with the theme, head to your sauce aisle and pick one up! Use the same method from that recipe post, and you’ll be a success! . . . #summerrecipes #chickenwings #americanarecipes #4thofjulyrecipes

🥗 GRINDER SALAD, Salad… If y’all haven’t 🥗 GRINDER SALAD, Salad… If y’all haven’t heard of the viral Grinder Salad Sandwich, you’re missing out. Say SALAD in the comments, and I’ll send the recipe to you! It’s this mayo-rich salad that enhances a melted cheese and meat sandwich… 🥗 I’ve become obsessed with the salad portion (of course!). Head over to your local butcher and pick up some deli meats. Add “shrettuce,” marinated tomatoes and shallots, and cute baby cucumbers to a big platter. Lovingly swirl your deli meats into all the veggies. 🥖 Top with homemade croutons… And then the ✨magical✨ part of the salad… Drizzle with the homemade Grinder Salad Dressing! Filled with red wine vinegar, mayo, pepperocini juice, and lots of garlic. 🎉 Y’all! This is what summer dinner plans are made of! No cooking… just assembling. 🥳 And it’s a real show-stopper for the those ✨magical✨ mealtimes we all crave! Have you seen/tried this recipe yet?! ⬇️ Tell me in the comments below! . . . #grindersandwich #grindersalad #toohottocook #summerrecipes

Cheers to a Citrus Crush Martini! Years ago at th Cheers to a Citrus Crush Martini! Years ago at the NC farmers market I had what they call an Orange Crush. It’s a darling little stand that you choose which citrus you want freshly juiced then they pair it with a little simple syrup, soda water, and a maraschino cherry! I can’t get enough of them, even though I’ve only had 2 “real” ones in my life. With that lovely tale in your mind, let me tell you about the martini version. It’s the best! Fresh citrus juice. Iced cold Vodka Sweet Simple Syrup Tangy Grenadine. It’s a match made in heaven, and makes the winter days a little brighter! Mix this up when you need a little refresher! Here are the ratios: 1 part Orange Juice 1 part Lemon Juice 1 part Lime Juice 2 parts Vodka 1/2 part Simple Syrup 1/2 part Grenadine Mix it all in a shaker, and shake, shake, shake! Strain into whatever glass you prefer and enjoy! Want to make this for a batch cocktail for a LOT of people?! Grab a bottle of OJ, a bottle of lemonade, and a bottle limeade. Mix those with 750ml of vodka and a jar of maraschino cherries! Add it to a drink dispense with citrus slices, and you’re ready to rumble! . . . #… #cocktailrecipes #easycocktailrecipe #summersips

But, you can make this 4 days ahead of time, and it will be sensational! 🥈 Maui Onion Dip — it’s a simple dip of sour cream with caramelized onions, salt, and pepper. Yep! You read that correctly, 4 ingredients! Serve with crispy kettle chips and fresh veggies to really make your appetizer pop. 🥉 Mama Leah Dip — it’s another quickie! Sour cream, Rotel tomatoes, ranch powder. That’s it! You serve this with crispy, salty tortilla chips and a tart margarita! Which one are you making first?!
