There’s just something about the smell of the grill on a warm summer evening.
The kids are outside playing, neighbors are walking by, and dinner somehow feels a little less rushed.
Those are the moments I love most. Because good food really is meant to be shared. 💛
🥩 Favorite TS Product This Week:
Ultimate Steak™ Seasoning
Summer grilling season is officially here, and if there’s one seasoning I always reach for, it’s Ultimate Steak Seasoning.
Don’t let the name fool you—it isn’t just for steak!
I use it on:
🥩 steaks (of course!)
🍔 burgers
🍗 chicken
🥔 roasted potatoes
🥦 grilled vegetables
🍄 mushrooms
It’s one of those pantry staples that makes dinner taste like you spent way more time than you actually did.
Simple ingredients. Big flavor. That’s my kind of summer meal.

🍽️ Summer Hack of the Week:
Create a “Grill Night Bin (or basket!)”

Want one less thing to think about at dinnertime?
Keep a small basket or bin with your favorite grilling essentials all in one place.
Mine includes:
✔️ Ultimate Steak Seasoning
✔️ Sweet heat Grill Sauce
✔️ grill spray
✔️ meat thermometer
✔️ grilling utensils
When everything is together, it’s so much easier to say,
“Let’s grill tonight!”
💬 A Moment from Cathy’s Kitchen
One of my favorite parts of what I do is helping hosts bring their own personality to their Tastefully Simple experience.
This past week, I had a host who wanted to put her own spin on the evening by featuring SMOKED cream cheeses – a trend found on TikTok! I absolutely loved the idea! Together, we built a menu around that theme, pairing different seasonings like Ultimate Steak Seasoning drizzled with Hot Honey, Makin’ Magic Chicken Seasoning topped with Sweet Pepper Jalapeno Jam & blending the Garlic Garlic and Spinach and Herb to create a flavor experience! This created a tasting that was unique to her and her guests.
And next week? I’m hosting a Brunch Experience! 🥞🍓
That means I’m having just as much fun dreaming up recipes, choosing products, and creating a menu that fits her vision for her and her friends.
That’s one of the things I love most about these gatherings—no two are ever the same. Whether it’s brunch, burgers, soup night, sushi, smoked appetizers, or freezer meal prep, we can build an experience around the foods you love.
Food has a way of bringing people together, but making it personal? That’s what makes it memorable. 💛
