Today is a great day for a weeknight cookout! And that means BBQ chicken! We are having a few neighbors for an easy dinner.I I am a big fan of using thights when grilling. They stay more moist than a drumstick or chicken breast.

Peach Pecan Crisp
One of my little grandsons LOVES my meatballs. Actually, these meatballs are Grandma Lo Bianco’s recipe. My wonderful friend Fran gave me the recipe. These are the best meatballs, and so easy to make. I get asked for this recipe every time I make it for company.

I almost forgot about Sloppy Joes! What a blast from my childhood past! Thanks, Michele from Midlife Healthy Living!
If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you may want to consider giving one a try! It took me a while to warm up to this small appliance, but now I love it!
See my InstantPot in the Kitchen Store below.
I’m so excited about dinner tonight! I think this salmon recipe from Carlsbad Cravings sounds so delicious!
Baking salmon is so easy. However, salmon is best when topped with something. This salmon is topped with dill sauce and a tomato-cucumber salad. Oh, so yummy!
When my children and their families are here, Friday nights are pizza nights! My daughter makes the best homemade pizza dough. It’s not hard, but it does need a little time to rise. We start the dough early to let it rise and develop a lot of flavor.
We bake the dough on the grill and then finish it off with toppings in the oven. Tastes like a wood fire pizza!

I LOVE one pot meals! Flavors have time to marry together, and one pot means easy clean up. Thanks to Emily’s Bites, tonight’s dinner is both delicious and easy to clean up!
These gorgeous steaks from Kalyn’s Kitchen are perfect for a steak and “potato” style Sunday dinner! YUM!
Zucchini grows like weeds here in Lancaster County! But what delicious weeds! This week’s sweet treat is a beautiful and delicate Glazed Lemon Zucchini Bread. It freezes well, so make a few and save some for later!
