Summer is officially here and that means it is time to barbecue. Whether you are cooking for just your family or going to your neighbors to BBQ and visit cooking outdoors is a must. My husband comes from a large family and the summer pot lucks are always so much fun . A few of the men are assigned to grilling the meat and the rest is tables as far as the eye can see of appetizers, side dishes , breads and desserts. I just love Barbecue side dishes, I can skip the meat all together.

Liquid Sunshine Punch is the perfect adult punch for any summer event . It is slightly tropical and fruity but not too strong and can be sipped on all day. I always thought it was a cliche that in a blink of an eye your children will be grown. I am not speaking of my actual child but my sweet niece , she graduated from college this past week. It seems like yesterday she was running and playing with her long blonde hair in pigtails getting dirty with all her cousins , much to her mother’s dismay. She adored her Granny and always seemed to be with her when we went to visit hanging on every word we said. She was an adorable child that we all loved to be around and has transformed into fine young lady. At her graduation party I was feeling pretty old sitting with the young college aged girls until I tasted this punch they threw together. It was really something they just sort of made up and it was perfect to sip on sitting in the heat by the pool. This was happiness in a cup and made me feel much better.
