Two Summer Favorites

My Aunt P has some wonderful recipes. Some of my favorites are her summer recipes. When her kids were growing up, they had a pool, which always meant lots of pool parties & bbqs. Now she has a beach house, which means even more bbqs! So, as long as I can remember, Aunt P has been entertaining outside. Below are two of my absolute favorites. I have been enjoying them for years & I was pretty surprised at how easy these delicious summer recipes are! Enjoy.
