Good morning and happy Monday!!!

We had the best weekend that was filled with some amazing weather. We had a small little celebration for Zain’s birthday on Saturday in our backyard. I was crossing my fingers for great weather since we don’t really have a house to go into as a backup and it worked out great 😉 We were able to rent Aqua-Tots for an hour for his friends to swim and play with the toys and then I blew up our pool and had a few friends over for pizza and cake. It was small but fun and such a great with friends. 

Our cookout had me thinking about Memorial Day since it is on the horizon. We plan on grilling out so I thought I would share some of my tried and true recipes for cookouts. These are all great if you are hosting and also to bring as a guest! Adding a really delicious side or cocktail to a party is the best thing you can do and I promise none of these will disappoint. 

I am for sure making my Tandoori Chicken on the grill and my Chickpea Salad but also plan on making several of these. Most are from Half Baked Harvest & Ambitious Kitchen which If you are new to them they are probably my top 2 resources for recipes and rarely ever disappoint on flavor.
