Summer is almost here! If your town is anything like mine, that means block parties, BBQs and potlucks. It’s always fun to get together with family and friends, to take advantage of the warm weather and to enjoy great food together.
Since it’s no fun to eat the same old burgers at every cookout, I’ve started making other recipes that I know everyone will love. This summer, I’ll be making Easy Buffalo Chicken Wings and Easy Homemade Macaroni Salad. They’re both easy to make and have been huge hits with my family.
