Summer Time and the food is good enough to share!

Wanted to share 3 recipes I made recently that were a total HIT at a recent party.

Smoked Mozzarella Dip

She is not lying when she says it’s amazing, creamy and tasty.

The other dish that was gone in no time was Lime Shrimp salad

Seriously using all the good stuff like avocados and shrimp makes a difference and it’s good for you!

And then there was the Mango Raspberry Rose Sangria my daughter found and was such a success we had to remake it 3 times!

1 mango, peeled, pitted, flesh thinly sliced lengthwise
1 cup raspberries
5 tablespoons raspberry liqueur
1 bottle (750 ml) rose wine
4 cups (32 ounces) chilled lemon-lime sparkling water
Ice

DIRECTIONS

In a pitcher or large bowl, combine mango, raspberries, raspberry liqueur, and rose wine. Stir to combine and refrigerate 1 hour.
Add ice cubes and sparkling water and enjoy!
