The Organized Life, Summer Paint Bucket

Posted by the Painted Apron on May 30, 2014 · 7 Comments 

June is going to be a crazy, busy month.  I am helping host a family reunion on the coast, people are flying in from all 4 corners of the country!

I don’t know how much creative cooking I will be doing, and with the 4th of July right on the heels of the reunion, I am going to combine June and July into one big Summer Paint Bucket  list of recipes to have at my finger tips for quick ideas~

This list will be geared to outdoor and summer entertaining and gatherings, and I hope it will provide some ideas and inspiration for you too…

All the recipes that I want to try from other sources have a link with them so you can look at them and try them also. Recipes that don’t have a link are general thoughts of dishes I want to create or revamp.

Here’s the Summer Paint Bucket for June and July~
