Friday Favorites from The Chunky Chef, Live Laugh Rowe, Ina Garten, and More

Good morning! Are you ready for the weekend? Are you one of the lucky ones who have a 4 day weekend ahead? I will be working a bit today but I think I am going to try to get to the beach for a little sun before the crowds come.

Sunday we are having a barbeque, sadly I think it will be raining but that it not going to diminish my spirits because we will be celebrating with great friends and eating some delicious food.

As I mentioned the other day, I love the side dishes and the desserts at a party, one of my favorite bbq foods is Ina Garten’s Classic Potato Salad. 

Brown Sugar and Bacon Beans from The Chunky Cheff

Another favorite side is baked beans, especially if they are Brown Sugar and Bacon Beans.

I will be eating my beans and slaw with bbq pulled pork but I think these BBQ Carnitas from Live Laugh Rowe look like a great sandwich as well.
