Juneteenth is right around the corner and most of us are finalizing the celebration details. The most important being, what are we eating and who’s cooking what dish?

This year I wanted to share 6 Recipes to Celebrate Juneteenth for those of you still undecided on what to make. You will find entrees, side dishes, dessert, and drinks.

Making your own simple syrup is so easy to do. Not only is it easy but it is cost effective, and you can make any flavor you want. Blood orange season is from December to April which means this citrus fruit favorite is at peak sweetness. This blood orange simple syrup recipe is sure to spritz up any spring or summer cocktail you make. Even better, I already have a Sparkling Blood Orange Cocktail recipe available for this deliciously sweet simple syrup.

We are in the heart of soup season in the Jamieson household. December through February is when we eat soup consistently. But if I’m being honest we eat soup year round. It’s just too good not to! One of our all time favorite soups is Broccoli Cheddar Soup. It’s one of my go to soups at restaurants when available. Not to mention this also happens to be my oldest daughter’s favorite soup which means she was quite excited about this recipe!

5 Cheese & Meat Lasagna

Who else loves a delicious homemade lasagna? Especially during these colder winter months. There’s nothing like a hearty home cooked 5 Cheese & Meat Lasagna to give you the feel and taste of comfort. I remember my Grandma making lasagna for dinner when I was growing up, and it was always a family favorite. Now that I have my own little family, I’m the one making the lasagna, which is now one of our little family favorite meals too.
