Saturdays At Shop This ~

Do you think the shoes are too much? Yes, I, like many of you, am traveling this weekend. We have a little anniversary to celebrate and plan to do it with Family. I wish I could say that my bags are packed, but they are not. I'll get my act together after this post.  Meanwhile, I wanted to share a few things with you..... 

With traveling on my mind, I thought that the "Destination Dressing" Edit at Neiman Marcus was clever and ever so chic.

A special mention about sales at Nordstrom's. Besides their Half Yearly Sale, they are Price Matching Lancome Beauty...meaning it is all 20% off. Add Free Shipping to that, and now you are talking. Then don't pass up the May 28th One Day Sale on Mascara! Buy any two of your favorite brands and get the third one FREE! No code needed. Shop Now

Foodie Friday: Get Your Grill On!

Hopefully you have had the chance to grill out this season. If not, what are you waiting for? Memorial Day weekend is the perfect time to fire up the grill, and serve up something spicy, smokey or sweet. The grill marks just make everything better, don't they? Get inspired for Summer entertaining with these unique and delicious dishes.

18 Summer Perfect Recipes

Grilled Gazpacho
I have made this recipe before. It's fab! The grilling of the veggies is the difference. Make this one the day before serving. It's a great idea for patio parties.
Williams-Sonoma  

Honey BBQ Chicken and Charred Corn Polenta
My taste buds can just imagine the blend of flavors from the charred corn to the sweet and spicy sauce. Yum!
Half Baked Harvest  

Grilled Pineapple Nachos
How's this for a beautiful starter? Grill this up right before your guests arrive. Everyone is sure to dig in. Wondering what those pretty little pink wedges are? Watermelon radishes, and they are yummy!
Honestly Yum  

Grilled Tex Mex Stuffed Avocado 
I have heard good things about grilled avocado, but haven't tried it yet. This recipe is oh so colorful and looks party perfect.
A Spicy Perspective

Grilled Swordfish with Fennel-Olive Relish
"Rosé wine in the sauce and the salad dressing is the secret ingredient in chef Jennifer Carroll's delicious grilled swordfish." Swoon.
Food and Wine 

Grilled Donuts & Strawberry Basil Dip
I just love an unique recipe. This donut wins the prize today.
BHG 

Grilled Chicken, Burst Tomato and Artichoke Skewers With Goat Cheese Dip
I have been on a kick of skewered Chicken lately. The cold leftovers are insanely good. The addition of a goat cheese dip will put me over the edge!
How Sweet Eats   

Bacon Wrapped Grilled Peaches with Balsamic Glaze
Doesn't bacon just make everything better? The combination of sweet and salty must make this dish special.
Foodie Crush 

Fresh Herb Pesto Grilled Lamb Chops
In my opinion, pesto makes everything better! I really do love to make it from scratch. It's easy! I haven't had lamb in years, but this recipe might change that.
Heather Christo  

Grilled Sriracha-Tahini Sweet Potato Skewers with Halloumi 
These sound amazing! The kicker is the Sriracha.
Naturally Ella

Grilled Artichokes & Polenta With Blistered Tomatoes & Pesto
How picture pefect! A beautifully rustic dish when serving family style.
Feasting At Home 

Grilled Ahi with Summer Citrus Dip
This dish isn't exactly pretty, but it is award winning....as in...Winner of the Sur La Table Grilling Recipe Contest, Grilled Appetizer category. It begins with sushi grade tuna and it gets better with each ingredient. I will be making this one.
Sur La Table  

Grilled Salmon With Herbed Yogurt Sauce
What a refreshing looking dish! This is all you need for a quick and easy dinner on a hot Summer evening.
Jeanette's Health Living 

Grilled Pizza Two Ways
If you haven't tried grilling a pizza, you should. My sister makes a delicious one. The charred grill marks and added smoke to the cheese is really incredible. Click for a step by step tutorial on these pretty pizzas.
Love Maegen 

Beef Burgers with Peanut-Chipotle Barbecue Sauce
Bobby Flay's recipe had me at Peanut-Chipotle Sauce! Chiles add smokiness and the peanut butter provides the sweetness. What an interesting blend of flavors.
Food and Wine  

Mexican Grilled Corn
Why in the world would you boil fresh corn when you can grill it and make it look like this? One of the secret ingredients is mayo. I do it all of the time. You will love it.
Williams-Sonoma

Grilled Molasses Flank Steak With Watermelon Salsa
Now this sounds good, but I think switching out Maple Syrup for the Molasses sounds even better. People rave about flank steak. I have never tried it.
