To kickoff summer and intense heat, I hosted a pool party at my place. I would have rather done it later in the summer but most of the summer is piled up with things to do and places to be. This is what the menu was: Homemade Hummus Pecos Pasta Sliders Swiss Roll Caramel Apples [...]

Although I loathe the extreme heat in the summer, I can’t complain when berries come to bloom during this sweltering weather.
