General Dog Days of Summer

When I plan summer gathering with friend and family during the 90-degrees days, the first idea that comes to me is “simple” and “casual”. I love prepping my vegetables in advance when I want to make beautiful salads, sandwiches and dips. Stop & Shop offers the freshest fruits and vegetables. Less is more when it comes to entertaining specially in the middle of the summer when I want to be able to spend less time in my kitchen and more time outdoors.

@stopandshop offers a large selection of delicious desserts to end a beautiful summer gathering.

Fourth Of July Celebration

/ thebeeskitchen / Leave a comment

Planning our annual Fourth of July get together requires a lot of work but this year I decided to make life a bit easier!

Between my busy schedule, I had time for just one stop to get everything I needed and decided to make it my local Stop & Shop.

First, I grabbed paper goods, a blue tablecloth, red napkins and fresh cut flowers. I picked up some perfectly patriotic mini cupcakes, donut holes and fresh sugar cookies. I was really impressed by how fresh and delicious they all looked.

I love to bake, especially in the summer when so many fruits are in season. I picked up some fresh blueberries to make a clafoutis, a dessert thats easy to make and requires few ingredients. From paper goods to pastries, fresh ingredients to beautiful flowers, I was in and out with everything I needed!

I saved a lot of time and was able to get it all in just one stop!
