PB S’MORES

There is no way this 4th Of July Recipe Roundup would be complete without a S’Mores recipe. If you’ve never replaced the chocolate in a s’more with a Reese’s peanut butter cup, you’re totally missing out! S’mores are a perfect summer treat, especially for the kids, and these PB S’mores are a fun way to experiment with pantry staples.

CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS, GOAT CHEESE & TOMATO GALETTE

Nothing makes me feel more like a home baker than getting my hands (and probably most of my upper half) covered in flour. Galettes are so forgiving, the edges don’t need to be neat and the filling can be piled into the crust base. Even so, you’ll still get a mouthwatering flaky and delicate pastry crust. This is a recipe for all my messy bakers out there! The crust doesn’t need to be folded perfectly and there’s no secret to adding the filling. Just enjoy the process and you’ll be rewarded with a fragrant and flavorful treat!

ATHLETIC BREW BEER SHRIMP

Beer, butter and old bay seasoning- this Athletic Brew Beer Shrimp has all three and it’s the triple-threat of ingredients when it comes to a summertime shrimp dish. Bursting with flavor and the best part, it comes together in about 20 minutes. I’d consider this dish an appetizer but do you ever have those nights where you just want a snack as a meal, instead of a full meal? This would be the perfect snacky-dinner dish.
