This is the most perfect recipe for baked beans that I’ve ever put together > Sweet and Spicy Baked Beans

Sweet and Spicy Baked Beans Recipe

There’s a big holiday coming up later this week in the fabulous USA- 4th of July! We take 4th of July seriously in our house. In fact, we begin celebrating on the 3rd with a barbecue, friends, family and fireworks. Then we repeat it all over again on the 4th. Does anyone else go crazy-overboard in celebrating? It’s the best! I suppose it’s also a reason to have a party. And my family definitely loves to have parties and entertain. It’s so easy to grill, and make some salads and side dishes to offer guests. These Sweet and Spicy Baked Beans are definitely going on our menu this year!

Sweet and Spicy Baked Beans #Recipe

Now, when I say sweet… I mean that there is a sweetness to these beans, but not overly so. And when I say spicy… I mean that there is a spice to them, but not crazy-spicy (unless you WANT to make them crazy-spicy). For bacon lovers, I’ve added a good amount of bacon to these beans too. Bacon makes baked beans 99.2% better.

The recipe serves a small crowd (about 10 servings), so it’s perfect for serving for a summer barbecue. Your guests will love the fact that you made “homemade” baked beans (even though we’re starting with canned beans here) instead of the usual canned kind that – to me- are a bit overboard with syrupy sweetness. These beans should make you happy.

Raspberry- Blueberry Pie Jun 27th 2014, 10:00, by Lori Lange
Here’s a pie to make in the summer- when berries are fresh and inexpensive! > Raspberry- Blueberry Pie

Raspberry- Blueberry Pie

It’s kind of funny because I have never really been a fruit-pie kinda girl. Fruit pies remind me of grandparents, for some strange, unknown and totally ridiculous reason. My pie of choice has always been something of the cream pie variation. But lately, I’ve been craving berry pies (like my grandmother used to make). Maybe it’s my age. Maybe the 40′s are the time in your life where you start leaning more towards “grandma-ism” and less like that college kid you used to be. Geez, I hope not. And I’m totally kidding. I’m still a college kid at heart. I mean… I listen to AC/DC and Maroon 5! I actually do love a good pie. And by “good pie,” I mean GOOD. A worth-the-calories kind of pie! This Raspberry- Blueberry pie recipe is that sort of pie.

Raspberry- Blueberry Pie 1

This is a so-simple recipe. If you’re not into making pie crust (and by the way, I totally understand if you’re not because I’ve never been awesome at making them myself), you can use store-bought. HOWEVER, I do need to tell you that Ree Drummond’s recipe for Perfect Pie Crust is super simple to make, and it turns out the most delicious, flaky crust. That’s the recipe I used here.

Raspberry- Blueberry Pie 2

Have I mentioned how easy this pie is to put together? It’s a pie recipe for everyone above… pie-challenged people too! Fresh, beautiful summer berries are tossed with sugar and cornstarch. That’s all they need.

I might be drinking these cocktails all summer long > Watermelon Gin Fizz

Watermelon Gin Fizz Recipe
You do realize that today is June 20th, and that tomorrow is the first “official” day of summer, right? That’s just so crazy. Where I live, I feel like winter ended and summer began and we kind of missed spring altogether. Not that I’m complaining or anything. I love winter. I adore summer. Who cares about spring? The warm weather is what I love most. I love being outdoors, I love going for hikes in our mountains, I love sitting on the beach in beautiful Lake Tahoe and sifting my toes through the sand, I love floating down the Truckee River in a raft, and I love spending time on the East Coast beaches looking for sea glass. Oh, and then there’s ice cream, and lobster rolls and fun summer cocktails- like this one!
