There is still time left for the grill to be your best flavor buddy! Living in NYC and the Hamptons my time is limited before the fabulous sweaters come on and the grill is covered with snow (although snow never stops me from grilling lol). The sun beaming on your face and the smoke from the grill is Chop Happy Cologne and I’m super bouncing with joy to share this easy party plan with you. I hand picked some of my favorite flavor yum recipes that will make you the king and queen of the Summer Party.
If you follow me, you know I love to cheer to anything and everything. Let’s raise a glass and thank you all for being such awesome followers of my blog. I hope this post will make you smile as much as it does for me. All of these recipes have been served by me and Tom at our house in the Hamptons and tested by all my friends. Watch the fun videos and send me your party pics with the Chop Happy recipes you have made for your friends and family!
Raise a glass to the end of summer! and make your guests smile, dance and simply go GAGA. With a grateful heart and a cocktail tummy happy partying :-)!
Cheers to Summer Refreshers 🙂
Jalapeno Mint Mojito – Bubbly Beer Spritzer – Happy Water (Non-Alcoholic)
What goes with a group of friends and a hot sunny day? A refreshing cocktail of course! Whether it’s non-alcoholic or not – we all LOVE a good cocktail to toast and cheer the end of summer. The key to party cocktails is to keep them simple – so you can enjoy yourself and drink with your guests. Cheers to you Chop Happy’tonians!

Starters with a Yummy Attitude 🙂
Party Pea Pesto – Smoked Salmon Crostini – Carmel Potato Chips
From a veggie-master dish to crunchy smoky lox on a crostini – these starters not only go great with cocktails 😉 – they start the party off right! Now go make some memories that you can laugh and talk about in the Winter. End-of-summer fun is always memorable when you’re with your friends and family.

Grilling Mains and Chillin Sides 🙂
Crazy Blue Cheese Chorizo Dogs – Grilled Brown Sugar Rib Eye – Watermelon Feta Salad
Save room for the main course – your guests will be in for a TREAT when they take one crunchy spicy bite of your chorizo dogs! – or they cut into juicy sweet rib eye steaks. The perfect dance-partner for both is the “take a bow” star of the show – my juicy crunchy watermelon salad.
