2. Serve up a slice of paradise - Can’t make it to the beach? Bring the destination home for dinner with a surf and turf menu, playlist of feel-good jams and vacation vibe decor. Order in or have fun cooking together. Our favorite recipes ... a Cheeseburger in Paradise, shrimp boil and key lime pie.
