These sweet and tangy chicken tacos are easy to make and sure to be a crowd pleaser.Grilled Honey Citrus Chicken Tacos: A Sweet & Tangy Meal The Whole Family Will Love | Tastefully Frugal ad #BestSummerBBQ

In our neighborhood I’m known as the “Grill Girl”. As long as there’s no snow on the ground you can find me out on the porch grilling 4-5 nights a week. I especially love grilling in the summer time when we can eat outside and invite friends over to join us. Grilling may just be my favorite thing about summer. My second favorite thing is lemonade. 

Grilled Honey Citrus Chicken Tacos: A Sweet & Tangy Meal The Whole Family Will Love | Tastefully Frugal ad #BestSummerBBQIf you’ve been reading Tastefully Frugal for any time you know how much I love making homemade lemonades. But being pregnant has zapped my energy to squeeze lemons to make these refreshing drinks. When I was at Sam’s Club last week picking up a few of our necessities I saw Simply Lemonade® on sale I just had to add a pack to my cart! I could drink a whole bottle of this lemonade in a day; it tastes better than homemade because it’s so much easier to get a nice cool glassful out of the fridge versus making it and then waiting for it to get cold! This time I saved some for a new recipe; Honey Citrus Chicken Tacos.Grilled Honey Citrus Chicken Tacos: A Sweet & Tangy Meal The Whole Family Will Love | Tastefully Frugal ad #BestSummerBBQ

These tacos are the perfect mix of sweet and tangy and will have even the pickiest of eaters asking for seconds. The longer you can marinade the chicken the better it will taste; but even if you can only marinade for an hour or two you will still have a delicious meal your family will love.

If you haven’t figured it out by now, I love lemonade! From my Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles to my Raspberry Lemonade Cupcakes I enjoy lemonade in many forms. But sometimes you need more than just lemon and sugar to quench your thirst.

I love the flavor combination of fruit and herbs and the mix of blackberries and mint is the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day. I’m over at It Is A Keeper today sharing the recipe!

These sweet and tart Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles are sure to keep you cool this summer!

Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles: The perfect way to keep cool this summer.

Nothing says summer to me like fresh strawberry lemonade. Here in Utah the summers can get pretty intense and sometimes we need something more to cool us down on those hot summer days. What could be cooler than popsicles… Am I right?! And the mix of fresh strawberries and lemonade in these popsicles is the perfect flavor combination to cool you down no matter what the weather!

I am so happy spring is finally here! Time to bust the grill out (well I grilled all winter long but now I can stay outside when I cook) and dust off the patio furniture. We have spent all winter cooped up inside and now that the weather is warming up we are catching up with friends and having more lunch dates and dinner parties. I needed some new recipe inspiration and found some great recipes in the #CookingUpGood challenge, including my husband’s favorite, bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers. Already, every weekend in April we have plans to have friends and family over; so if you need me you can find me in the backyard.

Whether it’s burgers, steaks or chicken I always like to have nice, cold drink with dinner. When I was at Walmart picking up supplies for our first cookout of the year I went down the drink aisle to pick up Kool-Aid for my Homemade Slushes and I saw these Country Time Lemonade Starters. I love a good lemonade with dinner too, and seeing that I could make 3 times as much lemonade with these starters as I can with other similar brands for a fraction of the price, I decided to give it a try. Boy am I happy I did! It was so easy to make, just add water and you’ve got a sweet, tangy drink everyone will love (especially my boys). What I love even better is that you can make a whole pitcher or just a single glass, my favorite.

The other day I had some friends over for a play date, we were talking about our favorite desserts and as we were drinking lemonade I thought how good it would be if I could turn that berry lemonade in to a dessert. Then I remembered these yummy Raspberry Cupcakes my friend Christina brought over. Mix those with the Country Time Berry Lemonade Starter and I knew I would have the perfect dessert for our next BBQ. The cupcakes are made with fresh raspberries and are moist and sweet, just like a perfect cupcake should be. But the frosting was my favorite part; you can really taste the berry lemonade and it’s like taking a big swig of lemonade with every bite. So if you’re looking for a sweet spring treat try these cupcakes, you’ll completely forget those cold winter months.

If you use a whole box of raspberries for the cupcakes you’ll have some extra pureed raspberries, freeze them in ice cube trays and add to your Berry Lemonade drink for an even tastier refreshing treat! To try these sweet and tangy lemonades for yourself head on over to your local Walmart for demos going on in March and April.

Check out Kraft.com for more yummy recipes and let me know which one you can’t wait to try for your next spring BBQ!
