Hey friends, I’m Mel and welcome to my kitchen. One of my favorite things about summer are the casual laid back dinners and cookouts. And as much as my family loves their old favorites that I’ve always made, I’ve really enjoyed trying all kinds of new recipes this summer. Tonight I wanted to share 6 of my new favorites with you. They’re delicious, quick and easy and perfect for a cookout but you might just find yourself making these all year long. And I’m sharing a great offer from @radacutlery that you don't want to miss!

    Happy Sunday, sweet friends. Hope everyone is doing well and having a wonderful evening/ day. Thank you, everyone who has been praying for our daughter-in-law and granddaughter. Our granddaughter was born this past Tuesday. 7lbs 10 oz 19 3/ 4 long. They are home and doing well. Asking y'all to please pray for Alex, Letty's big little brother. He's having a hard time getting use to baby sister and finding out he's no longer the baby. We appreciate all the prayers for them.

    I have a childhood story about Twinkies. When I was in 3rd grade, we were asked to write our 3 wishes for when we grew up. I wished for kindness, happiness, and a lifetime supply of Twinkies. I was pretty serious at the time so this created a lot of laughter from my teachers.

    There is nothing better to cut tomatoes than a rada tomato knife. I love my rada knives!

    Hey hey my sweet and beautiful friend ❤❤❤
  • @grammyb5216
    You are so smart in the kitchen. My momma was the best cook. I don’t think she ever made a bad meal. It was truly a gift. She had many gifts and common sense was one of them. You are so right about trying a recipe exactly as it’s written, the first time making it. It’s just smart. I also think, it shows respect for the writer of the recipe. As a cook, have so much respect for recipe writers. I have written very few but can tell you it is a painstaking process and I love it. Your respect for everything and everyone, makes you an even better cook. You consider so many things that many, don’t think about. I’m proud of you and I see Jesus in you. I’m very thankful for you. ❤❤❤🙏
