A Trio of Dips with Strawberries {Easy Entertaining}

June 27, 2013

When I entertain I like to have really delicious and really pretty foods for my guests.  And sometimes really delicious, really pretty foods take a lot of time and effort to prepare.  Which I don't mind.  For a few things.  But not for everything I'm serving.  That's just too much work!  

So I balance out those few time-&-effort consuming items with a lot of easy make-ahead really delicious and really pretty foods.  Like this trio of fruit dips, served with fresh strawberries.

I love so many things about summer.  Outdoor cooking ... Concerts in the park ... 4th of July fireworks ... Trips to the beach or the lake ... Back-yard gatherings ... There are always so many fun adventures to be had!

Know what else I love about summer?  Watermelon.

Yes, it's one of my favorite summer treats.

Oh, and I love sipping refreshing, crisp, light-bodied wines ... they're just perfect for helping beat the summer heat, too.

Just grab a big juicy watermelon and some semi-sweet white wine to whip up this refreshingly delicious summer fun!

And then I had a crazy idea ... one of those totally  brilliantly crazy ideas.  How about putting watermelon and wine together?  Wouldn't that make the perfect refreshingly delicious, fun summer treat?

Dad's 21 Favorite Picks ... in Honor of Father's Day

June 14, 2013


It's almost Father's Day!  Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there!

Back on Mother's Day I posted Mom's 16 Sweet Treat Favorites ... so in honor of Father's Day, I decided to give Dad his equal time!  Here are my Dad's favorite dishes on The Kitchen is My Playground.  Now Mom shared 16 ... and Dad's sharing 21.  So, I guess 'the time' is not exactly equal since Dad's getting to share a few more faves.  But oh well, I don't think Mom will mind.

Fresh Strawberry Sangria made with white or rose wine is total spring and summer refreshment!  It's such a fabulous way to enjoy those beautiful fresh strawberries.

Fresh Strawberry Sangria

Thanks to the nice folks at Staples, the other day was like Christmas in May for me ... and the wine to make this fabulous Fresh Strawberry Sangria was at just the perfect temperature!  What??  You're probably thinking, "What does Staples the office supply store have to do with the temperature of your wine?" ... right?
