4th of July BBQ Inspiration

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #TearASquare #Collective Bias #Brawny #TargetFinds 4th of July is right around the corner and this year we’ll be hosting again! I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking for new 4th of July Inspiration. Our BBQ meal typically consists of BBQ’d ribs (and often, chicken and sausages also), grilled corn, an assortment of salads, baked beans, garlic bread, and of course, watermelon. It’s not 4th of July without a ripe juicy watermelon!! BBQ food such as ribs, watermelon, and corn is messy! Very messy! This year instead of using regular paper napkins, I’ve decided to put out a few rolls of Brawny®Tear-A-Square™ Paper Towels. 4th of July BBQ Inspiration

 

4th of July BBQI shopped for Brawny Tear-A-Square Paper Towels at my local Target. This is my first time purchasing the Brawny Tear-A-Square Towels and I’ll never use anything but these again. I can’t wait to get back to Target and stock up on these paper towels. I love that I can use just what I need, 1/4 sheet, 1/2 sheet for full sheet. Less is certainly more when it comes to small messes and spills.

This table shows just a fraction of the actual BBQ that will be served on 4th of July! The backyard will be full of family, friends, and good food!! We alway’s start our day with cleaning off all patio furniture and giving the BBQ a good wipe down. Brawny Tear-A-Square Paper Towels are awesome for this big job! Full size towels are a must for this dirty job!! These towels are strong and durable! Once everything is cleaned, it’s time to set up, which is my favorite part!! I love parties and the fun decorations that go along with any themed event!!

The 1/4 size Brawny Tear-A-Square worked perfectly at the kids table! I don’t know about your kids, but my Grandbabes tend to wipe their face or hands, then in inevitably drop their napkin and need another one. The small size is perfect and they can use as many as they need without being wasteful. 4th of July BBQ Inspiration

4th of July BBQ InspirationNow let’s get to eating and enjoy this MESSY meal!!

4th of July BBQ Inspiration I had the greatest little helper (a.k.a. my Gigi Bean)! She was great at helping me tear the towels! And the best part, she worked for Watermelon!! Brawny Tear-A-Square

4th of July BBQ InspirationDid you know that each roll of Brawny Tear-A-Square Paper towels has 256 quarter sheets. That’s especially perfect for messy little BBQ fingers!! Which size best fit your needs? 1/4 size, 1/2 size, or full size? #TearASquare #Brawny #TargetFinds

I gotta go clean up now! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a safe 4th of July filled with lots of family, friends, good food, and maybe some fireworks!! Leave a comment below, I’d love to hear what your traditions are on 4th of July!!4th of July BBQ Inspiration

Just three more days till Valentine’s Days! I love how this table turned out, with the black and red! I added more elements to it than I normally do, but I was in the mood for a fun bright table! I talked about adding layers to a tablescape in my blog post, if you want to head on over and read it. The link is in my profile. 
❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️
Do you have any Valentine’s traditions?

Muddy Buddies (aka Puppy Chow) isn’t a new recipe. I was curious enough to look it up and read that it started in the Midwest in the early 60’s. 
I’ve snacked on it plenty of times, but had never made it until this week. A few colored M&Ms easily transforms it into a treat for any holiday or occasion!

How adorable are these cute little Honey Bears! They’re a cute treat filled with M&Ms that kids love! And after the candy is gone, the honey bottle can be used with a straw for drinking, or as a bath toy!! Blog link is in my profile.

I don’t do a lot of Valentines decorating, but I do love setting a Valentine’s table!! I know lots of littles that would love to pull up a chair to this table (and enjoy too many conversation hearts).

Having a well stocked pantry and freezer sure comes in handy! I used ingredients that I had on hand and made this delicious Pesto Pasta with Sausage in less than thirty minutes! It’s become one of my favorite quick dinners! The recipe link is in my profile.

Happy February Friends! I was going to share a recipe today, but a Valentine’s treat was more appropriate for today! 
❤️❤️❤️
Let me know if you love charcuterie as much as I do! This board was a little bit appetizer and a little bit dessert! The perfect combo served with a glass of bubbly! 
❤️❤️❤️
If you’re interested you can find the recipe for the homemade Valentine’s Toffee Bark on my blog. The link is in my profile.

Setting a table can often feel challenging between Christmas and Valentines or early spring. Christmas has been packed up, but it’s still winter! I do a little Valentines decorating, but usually not until February 1st. Other than a few cozy blankets, pillows, and candles, my home and tabletop typically feel pretty bare the month of January. 
☔️🌧☔️🌧☔️
What do you do to cozy up your home this month? Are you decorated for Valentines es Day? Full on Spring? Or feeling a little bare, like me? 
🌧☔️🌧☔️🌧
And, for anyone who might be wondering..... yes, I love to keep my table set (with at least a runner and centerpiece). And if you happen to pop in and see it fully set, I do that too! I love the look of a set table in my dining room. Now, if this darn covid would go away! I’m ready to host a dinner with friends and family!

Although we haven’t had many friends (or family) enter our home this year, I always love my entry to feel warm and inviting. This table is directly opposite the front door. I switch out very simple decor seasonally and you can  almost always find a candy dish. Not shown (to the right of the table) is my entry Christmas tree! I put up five trees this year. 
❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
Fun story, a year or so ago, one of my great nephews, filled up a little snack bowl and placed it on the table by their front door. His mom asked what he was doing, and he said, “I want treats for our friends like Nana Ne has at her house.” Melt my heart! @livingmywholelife you have sweet son!

I think appetizer parties are my favorite party to host! Last year we hosted our work Christmas party at our home and I made a very large Charcuterie tray! It was a huge hit! I look forward to being able to host parties again next year and serving up another big tray! 
❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
I’m always looking for more yummy appetizer ideas. What’s your favorite? 🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄#joyineveryseason ...

Rocky Road! Have you ever made this delicious treat? It’s a tradition in our family and I can’t imagine it being Christmas without it! It’s so simple to make and makes a deliciously sweet gift for friends, neighbors, co-workers, and family. Check out my recipe (the recipe link is in my profile). 
💚❤️💚❤️💚
I always love coming up with cute ways to wrap it! Each year is a little different but equally as sweet!

A little bit salty and a whole lot of sweet, these Potato Chip Cookies are melt in your mouth delicious! And did you know that calories don’t count in December? J/k, but don’t you wish you could indulge on all the goodies guilt free? These are definitely worth the extra calories at least once a year! Find the recipe link in my profile.

Friends, can you believe that Christmas is in 15 days? I always feel, that no matter how organized I start the season, I’m scurrying the last couple of weeks to get it all done. I’ve given myself a deadline (of this Sunday), to finish all my wrapping and to get my cards (all 250 of them) in the mail. I think I can, I think I can! Then next week I can enjoy some baking and meal planning for when my family is home for Christmas! 
❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
This is always my afternoon coffee view! I love it and today my coffee mug really reminded me that even though 2020 has been a challenging year, we are truly blessed! 
🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄
How are you all doing? I hope you can all find the JOY in even the smallest things! For me it can be as simple as crossing one thing off my list and sitting in my happy spot enjoying my coffee with the view of my tree!

Don’t you just love a Cake Pop? It’s the perfect fun treat for the little ones and since it’s just a bite or two, it’s a guilt free treat for adults. I love baking with the grandkids, and can’t wait to make these again this year! You can find the recipe link in my profile.

Did you know it’s National Cookie Day? Or maybe it’s National Cookie Week. Either way, it’s always a good day to make a batch of these Gooey Christmas Sprinkle Cookies! They’re the easiest cookies to make and everyone loves them! You can find the recipe link in my profile.

Hi friends! 
Here’s a big question for you? Do you serve a green salad with your Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner? 
❤️🥗🦃🥗❤️
I did not grow up with green salads at Thanksgiving, but years ago I added this Blackberry Spinach Salad to my menu and now I can’t imagine the holidays without it! Besides being delicious, it’s is so festive!!! The recipe link is in my profile. 
🥗🦃❤️🦃🥗
It’s also Saturday, which means it’s time to see what my friends are sharing!

I rarely share my home, unless it’s a dining room tablescape or something I’ve cooked, but this morning when I walked into the kitchen, I was immediately filled with joy!! The house is clean (mostly) and the Christmas decorating is nearly done. With all the heaviness going on with tighter Covid restrictions, I am choosing to have a great day!! 🎄❤️🎄 I’m heading out to do a few quick errands, then plan to crank up the Christmas music, make my afternoon coffee, and sit and enjoy! ❤️🎄❤️ What are your plans today?
