Our World Famous Avocado-Feta Salsa
This is one of our all time favorites and a recipe that’s easy to duplicate. In this version we introduce tantalizing new flavors to a now common party staple like “salsa.” Something about the salty feta and creamy avocado make “Our World Famous Avocado-Feta Salsa” addicting. This is California in a bowl, summer style. Fresh herbs and tangy red wine vinegar compliment this dish to the fullest. Clean, creamy and tangy. Great as a classic dip or as an amazing garnish to fish, grilled chicken or any sort of taco. Cheers to easy summer living!

Did you say Poptails? Adult Summer Treats.
An adult twist on a kid classic. We all love popsicle’s (with a little RUM)! This a great idea for cocktail hour on a hot summer day or a refreshing cold dessert idea at your next summer BBQ. The idea is classic kid fun with an added adult kick. Grilled mango and tomatillo’s make this sweet idea, savory and delicious. This isn’t your mothers homemade syrupy treat, but rather a sophisticated more savory version with grilled summer fruit, fresh herbs & lime. It’s Poptail Hour!
Who needs the ice cream man now, when you’ve got your own bartender on a stick.
A Modern BBQ Side Dish
I know a lot of people who when they hear the word “brussel sprouts” they think about a soggy or mushy, green vegetable. WRONG, when cooked right these delicious vegetables can be the queen side dish of any party. We found this tangy and sweet version that is sure to be the hit with your guests & family. Check out this recipe for Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Cranberries and Balsamic Vinegar.
I think these would also be amazing during the holidays. The dried cranberries give it that extra holiday-ish flair!
