Make your summer the most memorable yet with events, activities, and vacations that you're sure to love. Dive headfirst into July with nights of excitement, delicious foods, and summer must haves.

Weekly Recipes

GRILLED CAPRESE PESTO CHICKEN SKEWERS

 

These Grilled Caprese Pesto Chicken Skewers are a summertime go-to. Chicken plus sweet in-season cherry tomatoes tossed up with basil pesto. Thread the chicken and tomatoes onto skewers and grill until the tomatoes get a nice little char. Serve each chicken skewer over creamy burrata cheese with a simple honey balsamic vinaigrette. Easy to toss together, extra colorful, super flavorful, and always a family favorite. Serve this up any night of the week all summer long, it never disappoints.
