Inspired by a recent charity event on the beach, Daphne Brogdon turns her backyard into a beach oasis for a fun summertime party. For the menu, she's grilling up Chorizo Sliders with a Spicy Avocado Spread, Chula Vista Fish Tacos with Carlsbad Cream and the perfect soup for a summer day, Cool as a Cucumber Soup Shooters.

Everyone has a food that they find intimidating, but Daphne Brogdon is here to cook through some of those scary ingredients. Her Belgian-ish Clams are easy and delicious, plus a Grilled Flank Steak with her Savory Secret Sauce co-starring anchovies! Sunchokes are anxiety-free when paired with creamy goat cheese, and yeast equals yum in delicious and decadent Cheesy Bread Rolls.

Daphne Brogdon has been teaching some college girls how to cook, and has come up with some great affordable, easy and delicious meals. She starts things off with a Hearty Summer Pasta, and Flavorful Tofu Tostadas are a tasty weeknight dish. Three Ingredient Pea Soup is small on ingredients, but huge on flavor, and her Ginger Lime Granita is low cal in SoCal.
