  5. Waw ! So much deliciousness, how can we ever decide ! I think my favorites are the S’mores Cheesecake Pops … they would be perfect for my July 1st party ( Canada Day, eh !) , thanks for this amazing post !

  6. Oh My Goodness this menu will get me through the entire summer season! One great dish after another thank you!!!

  7. I’ll look (and walk) like Michelin man after that and you know what ? I don’t mind. At all ! On the top of that : I thank you very much 🙂

    1. yes – there is lard in it! makes the best crust known to man! You could use any kind of lard you prefer, or butter

  8. Hi Gaby! You are such an inspiration to watch! I love your recipes. I watched you last night prepare those great enchiladas & you mentioned that you wanted to remodel your kitchen & would like to know of a good contractor. I remodeled my kitchen 3 years ago with a highly competent & wonderful design build company. I would highly recommend them to you. There name is HartmanBaldwin. They are a design & build company. There phone # 909-670-1345. They have offices in Claremont & Pasadena. I live in La Verne. I know you live in the valley, but I think they go everywhere. They remodeled Shanda Rhimes’s home.
    You can find them on Facebook, YouTube, etc. They have workshops & do webinars. They have one coming up on July 9th. If you would like to see my kitchen….before & after…..they did a presentation on YouTube. My project is called, The Mansion Ct. Residence. So you can see the actual transformation of my kitchen.
    They are an extremely professional & ethical company to work with. Not to mention a really great group of people to work with.
    Anyway, I hope that helps you & let me know if you viewed my kitchen remodel on YouTube!
    Looking forward to following you!
    Warmest regards,
    Jeanne Bartel

  9. Your posts fill me with such excitement, as I see so much there that all my family will go crazy for! Hope our country will be celebrating tomorrow (England v Ukraine tonight), however if not, the food will be epic ❤️
