Summer party recipe ideas that will make you king and queen of the block party. To me food should be more than great taste and easy to make! It should also bring about gratitude in your hearts and invoke yummy memories. These recipes all have a special place in my heart. Me and my friends have a tradition in the summer of going to the Hamptons and getting away from the high speed of the city. All of these recipes have been made countless times and with excitement to have grass, a BBQ and more space then we have in the city. When I eat the hamburger or potato salad even in NYC I can feel the ocean breeze and the quiet birds chirp with each bite! I am excited for you to post in the comments the recipes you made and hear how much you loved them.
EASY COCKTAILS 🙂
Pineapple Vodka – Happy Water (non-alcoholic) – Summer Sangria
Every great party has awesome mixed drinks! The key is not to have to keep making complicated drinks for each guest so you can enjoy yourself and drink with them! I love a cocktail – and when my friends come to the Hamptons any of these will be in our fridge. Tom is very healthy and he drinks water, but when we have our friends over he will cheer with us to any of these drinks. Cheers to you my friends and happy holidays.
