- The warm weather is here and I love to start making summer recipes at home like my cucumber sandwiches with cream cheese and homemade marinated Bourbon beef sirloin tips on the grill. I thought I share some of the recipes I will be making, take you along grocery shopping, then prep a couple of the recipes, while I chat about things such as the home decorating project I am working on with design client's.

What a special celebratory meal for when my husband is discharged from the hospital! Thanks Linda!!!
Susan Demarest. Many blessings for your husband 🙏🏼
Enjoy Susan and I hope all is well now with your husband!
I love everything you do! Thank you for allowing us in your beautiful home. I wanted to share something my Mother taught me on the tea sandwiches which you may already know and prefer not doing. My Mother catered weddings and large events for 30 years and needless to say we all learn from our Mothers. But, she would add a tiny layer of Country Crock Spread at room temp between the layer of bread and cream cheese. It was to keep them from being too soggy. It also tasted pretty good, It helped to have them ready in advance or when it was hot. Please just keep being you! I love your Channel.
Enjoyed the video. Very informative. I also buckle my purse to the cart while shopping. Thank you for sharing, I loved it. Pat from Seattle.😊
I, too, strap my purse to the cart. It is December 30th, 2021 today but cucumber sandwiches still sound good!
Thank you for all the great cooking ideas! Those cucumber sandwiches are especially tempting.
You are so welcome!
Can't wait to make these two recipes. Thank you for sharing them.
I always strap my handbag to the cart but I don't walk too far from it nevertheless. The bourbon beef looks great, I will look up the recipe. Thank you Linda!
Great minds think alike. I stay close too. While I was filming, I scanned the area before walking away and turning my back LOL.
We had the sirloin tips for Father’s Day. Made the same marinade for chicken. Everyone loved it! Thank you!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
This was absolutely delightful, from start to finish. I picked up some useful ideas and tips. Have a lovely Father's Day celebration with your family, Linda. thank you 💐🪴🌞💚
Thank you Rhonda! I'm glad I'm sharing information that is useful! That is my goal for each video!
Fond memories for me my Mom loved the cc sand which’s and my brother when visiting from the EU would always drink the Makers Mark ! Thanks for another lovely vlog.
You're welcome!
I just noticed your subscribers. Hooray! I'm so happy for you that your channel continues to grow! You do such a beautiful job!
Thank you so much!!
I am so happy I found you. Your approach to everything you do is so natural. I enjoy your videos. Look forward to watching more🔆
Thank you for watching Judy!
Love love love cucumber with your cream cheese recipe...thank you😋
Your welcome Harriett!
Oh Linda, I did it again. I’m watching a food video at 11:30 pm. Jeez! What was I thinking? I guess I’ll pick up cucumbers, cream cheese, and Italian seasoning tomorrow. Hopefully they will have the bread. It’s hit or miss here as well. My mother in law made an awesome shrimp spread on the tiny bread as well. Bourbon steak looked delish also. Thanks for sharing. Nothing like going to bed hungry. Lol
🤣 I totally understand. Sometimes I watch videos at three in the morning and I want to get up and do things
“Many things in life will catch your eye but few will catch your heart... Pursue those” Anon
Markers Mark is used in Mint Julips. BOURBON trail Kentucky is fabulous place to find Bourbon.
Do you know I don't think I have ever had one. If I did, I don't remember. Maybe I will have to make one up!
This brought back to memory my mom’s cucumber sandwiches, & the ones my younger daughter & I enjoyed when she was little. Never knew about the Italian Dressing addition! Looking forward to trying that. Thanks, Linda. 🌻🌻🐝
I hope you enjoy it with the Italian dressing!
I remember the cucumber sandwiches very well from years ago and we always loved them too. Thanks for refreshing my memory on how to make them. The beef in the marinade is something I want to try on Sunday for Father’s Day because it sounds like a winner. I was planning on grilling mushrooms along with the beef using fresh marinade to baste them with. Thanks for making great and interesting videos!!!!
You're welcome!
I was cracking up watching you do those taste tests and thinking how I got loaded once doing that!😂
Oh trust me, been there... done that too!
😆😂
My grandmother loved to host parties. She always had cucumber tea sandwiches. I haven't thought about them in a very long time. Thank you for those sweet memories.
You're welcome Phyllis!
Yup... You give Ina Garten vibes...so beautiful... So glad I found your channel 💚
🏡 Great ideas Miss Linda and may I just say Willow is so precious! ~Cheers! 🌱
Thank you and Willow thanks you too!
Linda, you are looking gorgeous, love the hair! Love your cooking videos...delicious, can't wait to try!!
Thank you Helen
My mouth is watering! Love cucumber sandwiches!
Me too!!
I feel like I’m in your kitchen, sitting across from you as you describe what you’re doing. So comfortable and informative.
I love hearing that. I do feel like I am talking with friends vs to myself.
Linda, I love your outfit with the flowy pants.....very chic. What a great recipe for steak tips! My husband loves them and I will definitely try your recipe. The cucumber sandwiches look yummy, two things I like cream cheese and cucumber. You always have the greatest recipes❤️
Thank you so much!!!
In laughed at the arm workout bags I used to do that with my briefcase walking to work in the city. You should have seen the looks I got.
I can imagine! LOL
Love your Tory Burch…I just purchased my first Tory and I’m loving it! I love cucumber sandwiches but don’t often make them so you have inspired me, and I will make them very soon…wonderful for a summer luncheon! Thank you for allowing us to spend a few minutes of your day with you….as always, a delight!
I hope you enjoy making and eating them!
You’re top is wonderful, such a becoming cut for you. Recipes sound delicious. Thank you
Thank you! It is one of my favorite cuts as well as halter styles.
Yes ! I always use the belt to secure my purse and I make sure it is zipped too. Enjoyed the video as always. Your family will love the father's day dinner ❤
Thank you Tammy!
Hi Linda, I do enjoy your videos.
Please consider carrying pretty reusable cloth bags for grocery shopping.
Thank you! I usually do! Our stores just recently started allowing us to use our own again and I forgot mine due to being out of practice for a year and a half.
Thanks Linda. Can't wait to try these recipes. They look delish! It was fun going to the grocery store with you.
Thank you for watching!
You make every video so special I enjoy each one! I will be trying the streak tip marinade and the cucumber sandwiches look delicious. Hope your family enjoys Father’s Day! 😘
Glad you like them!
Fun video as usual. Can’t wait to try the Bourbon recipe.
It's so good!
It looks really good I'm going toI'm going to try that recipe with the cucumber and the beef Thank you Something different and I need that.
You're welcome!
Your hair looks pretty, will try both recipes. I always watch your videos!
Thank you! I hope you like the recipes!
You look fantastic in this video!
Just a random comment-I had to smile when I saw the jar of Pastene brand. My aunt and uncle lived in Leominster (and I still have family in Mass.) and they would always bring me Pastene products. I tried for years to make my aunts sauce recipe, and could never figure out why it didn’t taste like hers. Then she told me she used Pastene brand. We can’t get it where I live, so they would always bring me cases of it every time they came to visit. I went to Leominster and Lunenburg for a family funeral a couple of years ago, and stocked up while I was there. Need to get back there to get more. Anyway-just a random comment. Made me smile.
Isn't it wonderful that the smallest things can spur fun memories.
Now I'm hungry. Looks delicious.
Sorry! 🤣
Thanks for the Pam spray in the cup for honey tip. And I have always loved Makers Mark. Great video Linda.
You are so welcome!
Thanks a lot for the cucumber recepi il will shure make those 🌹❤️
You’re welcome!
Ahhh, I can relate to the hauling of the grocery bags! Keeps us strong 💪
It sure does!
I'm a new subscriber. I just love peonies and I always strap my purse to the buggy.
Welcome Cynthia!
Hi Linda! Loved this video! Definitely going to try the cucumber sandwiches!! I always learn something new with you and I love it! I am really interested in watching the designing video with all those beautiful fabrics you picked!! Have a great day and Happy Fathers Day to Ben! PS: I love Willow! :)
Thank you Linda!
I moved from suburban Boston to the Topsail Island NC area 3 years ago. One thing they don’t sell here is steak tips..I’m jealous!💚
That is a fact I did not know!
@@newenglandfineliving I miss Market Basket.
Everything looks so yummy! Will absolutely be trying everything! Thanks for sharing, Linda. 💕
Thank you!
I do the exact same thing with my handbag. 😊
Linda, Try their Zesty Italian dressing. I think it's better. You know, zestier. I'm trying the beef, yum.
You picked out three of the best bourbons we have in Kentucky.
Pls name each. I could not understand what all the names were. Tks!
Maker's Mark, Woodford Reserve, Bulleit Bourbon :-)
Good to know!
Both recipes look delicious! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
I'm going to try the beef tips. They look delicious! I always use Maker's Mark for baking. I like the taste.
Hope you enjoy the recipe!
Very nice recipes! Thank you for the ideas. Happy Father's Day to Ben. Love the fabric and wallpaper choices for your client.
Thank you! I will relay the message to Ben, even though he does read all of the posts too!
Thanks for sharing, everything looks so yummy! I must try those sandwiches.
You’re welcome!
Fun video & you look fantastic!!
Thank you so much!!
Hello Linda, I am going to try the sirloin recipe. I try checking the milk at the store. I do not like using my hands to mix ground meat. You are not alone with that. The Navy looks good on you. Willow was so happy! Hope Ben has a Happy Father’s Day
Hi Pauline! Ben reads the messages too, but I will thank you on his behalf!
We have Woodford in a decanter too. My husband and I like Old Fashioned’s. I made your lavender simple syrup and used it in an Old Fashioned. It was good! That party rye reminds me of my childhood too. My mom made a cheesy version for parties. I really enjoy your channel!
I will have to give that a try Lori! Thank you!
Linda, could you please do a video on how you mix different metals in your home? Thanks!!
Great idea! I will see what I can do
Good content. Fun show 🙌👍❤️ Tasty ideas 😉
Glad you enjoyed it Francine!
Just want to say you look younger all the time , I mean you never looked old ,but you look so pretty ….love your channel ♥️
Oh thank you! I'm guessing taking off some of the extra weight I put on is the reason.
I think I will try your recipes, they look really yummy. Also you look very pretty today.
Enjoy and thank you!
You might enjoy a trip to KY Bourbon
Trail. Beautiful country . Horse farms and good tastings!
My husband said if we visited, we might not return since he could see us moving there.
You're looking fabulous Linda and thinner as well!
Thank you so much!
Can’t wait to try your family cucumber sandwich recipe, from a kindred grocery arm curl spirit 😁
Haha! Enjoy! Please let me know what you think once you make them.
@@newenglandfineliving will do!
Yeah! Enjoyed this so much. Will have to try recipes.
Wonderful! Thank you Patricia!
Yummy 😋 Going to give those two receipies a try this weekend .
Please do!
YUMMY!!! 😋 They look so delicious! Thanks for sharing! 💖
You’re welcome!
You look absolutely gorgeous in this video!
Awwwww thank you Celia!
Thanks for the Father's Day menu ideas. I love sirloin tips, too; however, in the past six months the price has skyrocketed from $9.99 to $12.99/lb! Cucumbers today were priced at $.99 each! Enjoy your celebration Sunday. Best wishes from Connecticut.
The butcher was telling me all about the shortages and the prices. It's crazy!
When possible grow your own herbs and veggies to offset the increase in meat prices.
Oh how I wish I could buy King Arthur flour here in Ontario. I used to bring bags of it back when we were in Maine and then stored it in the freezer for baking all through the year.
They do sell it online, but I am going to guess the shipping cost would be more than the flour itself. ?
Yes we looked into it and the shipping was huge!!
It maybe the Makers Mark may cause indigestion in me if it burns going down. I’ll have to try your bourbon
I do prefer mine. It seems a bit smoother.
Thanks for the recipe. Cant wait to try this marinade on my steak tips.
I hope you enjoy it! I am looking forward to ours tomorrow too!
Everything looks amazing!
Thank you!
You look beautiful! Love the off the shoulder top. Thanks for the Father's day food suggestions. I'm having my get together for the dads next weekend and will be making cucumber sandwiches. Linda, would you consider sharing easy, healthy recipes for two?
Thank you Anna and I like your idea about healthy meals for two! I will see what I can do.
HA- NEVER thought of that purse trick- THANKS! I am looking forward to grilling this weekend, I haven’t shopped yet! I think I now know what I should cook 🙂. Have you tried using grill mats? I’m going to give it a shot 😀
You're welcome! I have never tried grill mats nor have I ever heard of them. I will look into them thank you!
I twisted my own arm to get this! Hilarious!
I didn't even realize I said that until I was editing LOL
Hello Linda,
Next time try Grilled Hallumi with watermelon... (and yes, you can use mint as a garnish)! :-)
Thanks for the tip!
Hi we don't get tips here in London Ontario I'm not sure about all of Canada Is it part of a striploin steak ...l love how long your hair is getting it looks super and shiny Linda do you read all the comments I'm just never sure eh? THANKS again for the video it eases a part of our cares and woes Susan in London Ontario
Hi Susan, Thank you! yes, I read each and every one. I had a Brazilian blowout (like a reverse perm that straightens) to help straighten my hidden gray unruly hair.
For Father's Day I'm adding the Cucumber sandwiches.
Yum. Will be doing the steak tips for the 4th. Thx you so much Linda for sharing. 💕💕💕
Also what is your recipe for a good Tom Collins ??
Hope you enjoyed them if you did. I don't think I have made my own Tom Collins. I might have to!
I see Makers Mark in pubs here a lot in the uk. I haven’t tried it yet though
I have to admit I still enjoy the Woodford's Reserve vs Makers Mark. The Bulliet was good too!
You look beautiful 😍 Enjoy & thank you for your vlogs.
Thank you so much Jennifer!!
Thanks for another great video Linda😊. I am going to make those steak tips for sure. My husband is a bourbon drinker. You didn’t mention the name of the third bourbon. I’m curious to know what it was. Thanks 😍
It is called Bulleit Enjoy!
👏🏻😊
I never knew anyone else that strapped their purse in. I always figured if anyone tried to grab my purse I was going to at least slow them down.
I figured if it can hold children in, why not a purse!
Yummy 😋
I agree!
You look amazing _maybe a video to share how you have lost the weight ? I could use the inspiration!
I will! I['m working on trying to get a few more pounds off then I hope to share what worked best.
Hi Linda I love yr outfit! Can you share where you purchased it. Thank you
Thank you Denise, the top I have had for many many years and most likely from a consignment boutique, the pants were from TJ Maxx last year.
@@newenglandfineliving thank you it looked lovely on you.
Can you tell how you did the turkey baster? Did you buy the syringe tip?
I purchased the turkey baster with it. I don't see them often.
Just a precaution, if your decanter is crystal it’s only safe to serve your beverage but not to store in as the lead will leech out.
Thank you! I use lead free Crystal for decanting. It’s a product I used to carry at my store for that reason.
Share it below!? Where is that!????
How did you “star” the cucumber 😇
The tips of a fork or you can use a cookie cutter ;-)
Linda can you tell me where the equestrian wall paper for your client was purchased?
Hi, the horse print in this video was a fabric we might be making pillows with. My horse print wallpaper is from Sanderson called Tally Ho
@@newenglandfineliving Thanks Linda, I'm looking for something like that for a library/Den
@@newenglandfineliving Wow, that's a little pricey for my budget you know of anything similar more reasonable?
I’m sorry I don’t. 🙁
OK, thanks for your time.
You look fabulous in this video! Your link to your Instagram…brings me to New England fishing?
Thank you, I will need to check that!
Holy smokes you look hot ! Love the hair 😍
Thank you 😊
Linda the video is a bit fuzzy.
Hi Joan, do you mean in the beginning? I noticed that. I think it was the sun coming in at an odd angle.
HaHaHaHa
Gotta say, you've lost a few pounds and your longer hair make you look 10 years younger!!!
Thank you!
Omg girl are you still using plastic bags in 2021?? 🤣 If you need some reusable bags I can buy you some!!!
Totally forgot them at home. Our stores just recently started letting us use our own bags again and after a year, I have to remember to put them back in my car.
