Summer Recipes and Entertaining Ideas

Hi friends! Can you believe it’s the weekend, again? This week went by so fast! I’ve been summer-ifying (is that a word?? haha) our home and it feels so happy and bright now! I even decorated our porch for the 4th of July – Here’s a little preview and I will be sharing the whole porch post this coming week! What projects are you working on this Summer?

New Projects This Week

I was so busy this week! I joined in three blog hops with friends and shared three new projects and recipe ideas!

How to Make a Small Yard Seem Large

I shared our progress in our 1891 backyard. We live right downtown so we have a pretty small urban yard. When we moved in the whole backyard was basically two benches, with a cracked patio and wood chips in the second half of the yard. We immediately set up an eating area in the front part of the yard but since we were working on the inside of our home the past few year, we are just starting work on the outside. This year we added a big patio to the back half of the yard and we are loving our new Backyard Discovery WIndham pergola.

How to Make a Small Yard Seem Large. Ways to make every outdoor space have a purpose and work to make your small yard seem larger!

It has a cover so we keep that on now that it’s in the 90’s and hot. We also installed misters which makes sitting outside wonderfully cool! I have all of the other details that make our yard seem bigger now if you want to check out the post!

DIY Summer Disco Ball Centerpiece

5-Minute Disco Ball Planter

I’ve been roller skating again and it inspired me to create this easy Disco Ball planter. It sparkles in the sun! I think I am going to braid some macrame hangers for the balls and hang them in my window. I will share that tutorial this coming week too!

Patriotic Fruit Pizza Dessert. Chewy cookie crust is layered with light creamy topping and topped with fresh sweet berries for an easy semi-homemade summer dessert!

I also shared some easy recipe ideas for the Fourth of July! This semi-homemade fruit pizza is so easy and your kids will love decorating the top with their favorite fruits for the Fourth or for anytime!

Grilled Corn Salad with Tangy Lime Vinaigrette. Looking for the perfect salad to make this summer? This one takes fresh corn and peppers and grills them to bring out the most flavor, mix more fresh veggies and top it with a refreshing citrus lime vinaigrette dressing.
