Its always fun to have a summer get together – but it can be so much work!
Here’s how to have a simple but great gathering
I’m all for keeping the menu simple. The center of attraction will be burgers and brats. Maybe some chicken. But what else?
Here are some ideas for you…
I like to have a veggie tray. Last year I made a veggie tray with ranch dip. I also made a fruit tray. I figured people would eat more fruit, so I made twice as much fruit.
I was wrong.
Everyone chowed the vegetables. Go figure!
I will still put out fruit, but not as much.
Another favorite is Broccoli Salad. My daughter has taken to being the one to bring that to gatherings. Funny – she used to hate it.
If you’ve never had this one, you are really missing out! This is one way to get people to eat their broccoli.
Potato Salads are another summer favorite.
Here are a few potato salad recipes for you –
Add some fruit.
Don’t forget pickles and olives!
You can always make them a pot luck. Let everyone contribute.
Now you can relax and look forward to a great get togethers!

Inflatable ice tubs are great for summer parties, and easy to store when deflated.
