We’ve invited Charlie Moore, owner of Seasons Harvest in Harbert, Michigan to provide some recipes for carefree Beach Coast entertaining.  He was inspired to create these recipes with friend Nancy Watson, for easy, quick and delicious summer entertaining around the grill. The Seasons Harvest line of products: barbeque sauces, salsas, condiments and dessert sauces, were inspired by summers spent on Moore’s grandfather’s Michigan farm—and are fresh, natural and tasty.  All Seasons Harvest products are available at the Harbert location or online.  Most of these recipes can be made ahead, to free up time to spend with friends and family celebrating the glorious Beach Coast summer.
