Looking for something fun to cook for the weekend?!! Look no further. This smoked chicken with creamy potato salad (recipe on next page) is a great week dish.  I love to cook up extra legs and everyone eats off them all weekend, there great cold!

Make a day ahead Chicken Taco Casserole.  Great for any kind of leftover meats.  Always wondering what to do with leftover pork. This recipe is perfect for it.  Just substitute for the chicken.  Make on the weekend and pill it out on a weeknight for already made dinner.

When happy hour calls, Carrie answers—with shrimp, sass, and a splash of gold. 🍤✨

"Alright ladies—let’s elevate your Thursday," she says, tossing one pound of shrimp in cracked pepper, sea salt, lemon olive oil, a whisper of garlic salt, and a bright squeeze of lemon. One teaspoon of flour, a quick mix, and onto the baking sheet they go.

Bake at 350°F for four minutes, flip, five more—and boom. Shrimp is served faster than your group chat can argue about wine.

Of course, no golden-hour snack is complete without a chilled Sauvignon Blanc, poured into our glam new gold stainless steel wine glasses.
Because honestly—your shrimp deserves a golden moment too.

Cheers to salt, sass, and seafood. Happy hour is officially served. 🥂

Stuffed Cornish game hens with wild rice.  Quick and easy dinner and a salad.
