Spring Outdoor Dining

Skillet Brownie Recipe by A Spoonful of Sugar

Sponsored by Target

If you are like us, we love to head outside in spring and spend more time in our outdoor space. We have had a few BBQ’s and simple meals outdoors over the past weeks. We have bought some new bright and colourful homewares to add some fun to our outdoor table.

Spring and Summer Outdoor Dining

Pineapples, Lemons, and Watermelon are top homeware trends this season. Target has plenty of fun fruity accent pieces that are great for your summer entertaining.We love all the pops of orange, yellow, aqua and mint that are available. Target also has plenty of melamine and acrylic outdoor dining options which are great if you have younger children or a swimming pool.

How fun is this pineapple shaped cutting board!

Spring and Summer Outdoor Dining

Curtis Stone has released a new range of cookware, exclusively for Target. We can’t wait to try the new glass bottom spring form pan, which allows you to bake and serve directly on the glass base and has handles for easily transferring it to and from the oven. This will be perfect for our summer cheesecakes!

The Curtis Stone 20 cm (8 inch) non stick frypan is a handy size and is perfect for making a skillet brownie. If you would like to make your own skillet brownie, check out our recipe below.
