Goodbye, Summer.  We're sad to see you winding down.  Hopefully, the weather will cooperate for Labor Day weekend and most of us will get to have one last summer hurrah at the beach, or the lake or just in the backyard. If you're part of a potluck or just grilling out by yourselves, here is a recipe roundup of summer favorites that I hope you find handy.

Thank you Elaine for featuring my carrot salad, but would you please send over some of your basil and potato pasta salad, oh and grab a cheesecake parfait while you're at it! xo

Thanks for your information. Which cooker have you used to make Jamaican Jerk Chicken? I use Pit Barrel Cooker to make it.
