11 A Summer Local Magazine Shoot

April, from Simply the Sweet Life magazine, contacted me saying that her family enjoyed the Bunny Backside rolls that I had posted and wondered if I could contribute my French Bread hamburger buns to the summer issue of the magazine.  Simply the Sweet Life is a free, online magazine that covers entertainment, food, crafts, and much, much more! 

I was thrilled and beyond excited!  I watched how she was able to pull all the colors together to form a lovely table setting ...  I never would have thought to use place mats in a vertical position!


Mini Chinese lanterns were hung from the trees, overlooking the finished table setting.  The children took turns lazily swinging in the hammock...


After everything was set up, it was time to grill the perfect hamburger.  White cheddar cheese was the perfect complement for this juicy burger!


My hamburger buns were surrounded by a variety of condiments, ready to top the burgers...


What do you think?  A refreshing summer meal ~ a guacamole burger, with strawberry salad and a perfect potato salad made with fresh garden herbs.  You can find all the recipes in the magazine.


The lanterns and candles provided the perfect amount of light to enjoy a Blackberry Coconut Cake for dessert.

Thanks to April and her staff for providing a wonderful meal and opportunity!

Head on over to Simply the Sweet Life, stroll through the pages for outdoor entertaining ideas, recipes, and more!

  6. I started making my own hamburger buns not very long ago, but I'm totally hooked, now. The store-bought ones just don't compare! I've already checked out the magazine, but now I need to head back over to get your recipe!
