Now that the weather is finally getting warmer, here's a fun idea for a girl's night in (or couples of course, that would work too...) - a Summer Tasting Party! I put together some of my favorite summer recipes, including appetizers, main course food, sides, desserts, and a summer drink and had a girl's night to celebrate summer. Everyone who came got to take home a little recipe book of my (easy!) summer creations. You could also do this like a potluck where everyone brings their favorite summer dish, along with recipe cards to pass out to the other guests (so by the end of the night, everyone would have a compilation of everyone else's recipes). But since I'm somewhat of a control freak (it's true) and I just like hosting and cooking all the food anyway, here's what I made: we had a Poppy Seed Sumer Salad, Baked Parmesan Zucchini Bites, Grape Salad, Summer Guacamole, Caprese Salad, Cowboy Beans, BBQ Chicken Sliders, Chicken Salad Croissants, Mini Peanut Butter Pies, Mini Strawberry Shortcake Trifles, and a Lemon Berry Moscato Sangria. The party was supposed to be outside on my patio, but of course the weather didn't cooperate for a summer party (go figure!) - here are a few pics from the party: Attached are the actual recipes for everything I made - keep in mind I'm not big on measuring things when I cook so these are more like estimates (- very helpful, right? :) But these are virtually fool-proof easy recipes. I doctored this document up quite a bit for the recipe cards, adding graphics, borders, etc, but here is the basic template so you can do whatever you want with it to make it your own, in case you want to add your own recipes, omit some of mine, etc! Welcome to summer! :)

AuthorI love writing romance novels, editing other people's novels, planning parties (heavy on the theme food!) and watching movies. Cooking has also become a passion of mine (because you can't have a proper party without food!) and I love finding new hobbies when I can squeeze them in. Archives
