In today's edition of The Dish, we're adding elevated farm-to-table flair to your outdoor entertaining. For that, we head to style icon Carson Kressley's suburban sanctuary in the Lehigh Valley to learn some easy peasy, delicious and simply stunning little homemade touches for a summer BBQ spread.
While standing in Kressley's kitchen, you can overlook the rolling hills of the Lehigh Valley with horses in the distance.
"My grandparents bought that horse farm in 1925," Kressley says. "It's great to have it literally in my backyard. I get to overlook the whole shebang.
""My house is an equestrian theme park," he laughs. "I've been collecting things ever since I was a kid. " The TV personality, actor and designer became a household name in the early 2000s as part of the original cast of the reality show "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. " "I just always loved clothes, and it started right here at the Lehigh Valley Mall," he says.
"It was probably 1983 when I got my first Ralph Lauren suit from Bamberger's. " He's taken his vivacious passion for fashion from the runways, the airwaves and to co-hosting our 6abc Dunkin' Thanksgiving Day Parade. Today, he's sharing some chic secrets to summer hosting, starting with a homemade spicy blueberry barbecue sauce. We also make a zippy little cute cabbage slaw.
He also likes a semi-homemade kind of add-on dish.
"You can buy really great store-bought macaroni salad, and I just zhuzh it up. Instead of putting paprika on it, I put chili seasoning on it.
""We're going to do a strawberry rhubarb margarita," he says. "I have rhubarb growing here on the farm. "Instructions: Chop cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Whisk all of the other ingredients together to make a vinaigrette.
Add that to the cabbage until it is all incorporated. In a pitcher, combine the simple syrup, tequila, triple sec, lime juice and orange juice. Stir and add the crushed ice. Pour into the glass and garnish with mint. Man walking home from work brutally attacked, robbed in South Philadelphia
