Summertime, at least here at Goodtaste with Tanji, translates to “ice cream time.” (That is a fact :)) For that, we’re kicking off this post with the ultimate poolside recipe — these Marbled Chocolate Ice Cream Bars from our friend at Mary Helen Leonard at Mary Makes Good in Austin. These are obviously great for kids and grandkids stopping over. Need something a little more “grown-up”? Keep a few Paleta canned wines– truly a ‘popsicle in a can’– in a nearby cooler! Get more details on this porch-friendly and packable wine find here.
Hazelnut Hummus
Stuck in a storebought hummus rut? Make this Hazelnut Hummus from My Name is Joe Coffee Company in Austin for your weekend gatherings. Hazelnut oil and smoked paprika give this heavenly hummus a unique twist. Serve it up with fresh vegetables (we love organic cucumbers and vine-ripened tomatoes) or fresh-baked pita bread from Central Market.
Shortcakes with Fresh Berries & Ginger Cream
Shake up your standard shortcake recipe with candied ginger and a fresh-ground hazelnut flour. These Shortcakes with Fresh Berries and Ginger Cream from Central Market make for a festive touch to your Memorial Day Weekend festivities. Serve them with a glass of Chandon Sweet Star Champagne-style wine from H-E-B. More details on this wine right here.
Deviled Eggs with Fresh Gulf Shrimp
Deviled eggs get a daring and delicious upgrade with fresh Gulf shrimp. This recipe for Deviled Eggs with Fresh Gulf Shrimp is perfect for serving up with the Lamarca Prosecco — learn more about this awesome summer wine right here.
Korean Fried Cauliflower
Calling all cauliflower lovers! No doubt you’ve seen cauliflower in recent months all over menus lately. We’re especially big fans of the Korean Fried Cauliflower made with spicy Gochujang and a Korean pepper sauce from Moxie’s in Houston.
Raspberry, Peach & Basil Sangria
Pour a round of this Raspberry, Peach and Basil Sangria for your friends while poolside (or lakeside!) or throw it together in a punch bowl. Just like the easy days of summer, this sangria from The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center is just as easy to make.
