Summertime, and the Living is Easy

I know the official start of summer is a few weeks away, and it is still even snowing some places (sorry Mel!), but here in Southern California, summer is so close we can practically feel it.  Actually, it was in the 90s this week, so I guess we can technically feel it!  With the warm breezes of summer come some of my favorite pastimes:  Grilling!!!  Lounging Outdoors!!!  Sipping Fruity Cocktails in the Afternoon!!!  Woohoo!!! 🙂

In anticipation of the glorious season soon to be upon us, we have started a Pinterest Board for Summer Holiday Party Ideas that is loaded with a ton of recipes for food, summer cocktails, and outdoor decorating ideas.

We’ll keep adding more great ideas as we find them throughout the summer, but here are a few of my favorites so far:

The Watermelon Keg:

Patriotic Lollipop Centerpiece:

Blue Hawaiian Smoothie:

I am sure my Pop Up Wine Glasses will be getting a lot of use this summer. Less than two weeks until Memorial Day Weekend…the countdown to summer is on!

About T

Greetings! I am one of the West Coast representatives of Cast Iron and Wine, originally from PA, but residing in beautiful Southern California for more than a decade. I am a life-long adventurous eater and cooking enthusiast, and I am fortunate to be located close to a number of farmers' markets, specialty markets, and ethnic grocery stores, where I can almost always find something new (to me!) to try. Cooking and creating in the kitchen make me ridiculously happy, and while my creations might not always be a raging success, I always have fun!
