"Summer Eats"

Have you fired up the grill yet?  The Groses sure have.  I think we could just sit on the patio and grill and gorge ourselves all summer if we had our way!  

You’ll probably be hosting your own fair share of cookouts this summer as well as attending a few.  There’s always the challenge of finding something to “go with” the hamburgers and hot dogs other than the traditional baked beans and potato salad.  My sister-in-law, Debbie, passed along this recipe and I need to tell you, when you layer it in a clear truffle, pedestal bowl, it actually looks pretty doggone impressive!  The beauty is in the ease of preparation for busy mommas and the delicious taste.  Let me know how you like it.

Blessings on you, dear friend
