HERE: 14 Stylish Summer Recipes
Frozen Pineapple Margarita
This recipe had me at the Himalayan Sea Salt rim. It's the only salt allowed in my home. And even better, this margarita is made without a mix. Everything is fresh!
Melon and Prosciutto Platter
This is really all you need for a crowd. Sweet, juicy, dry and salty. It instantly
pleases the palette.
Pan Fried Feta With Peppered Honey
Confession - I rarely buy feta cheese, though I do like it. I just stay away from cheese period, unless it is on a pizza. BUT.....I love ordering Saganaki at a Greek restaurant. This recipe reminds me of that, but with a twist. OPA! I'll be making this app in the coming months.
Summer Crostini
My hostessing experience has found that guests get excited to eat crostini. A platter of these beauties would be appealing. No other offering is needed.
Summer Babe
I like the sounds of this recipe! This is a perfect rosé cocktail, made with Aperol, white peach puree, fresh lemon and Hendrick's Gin, and
simple syrup.
Bacon Wrapped Grilled Peaches With Balsamic Glaze
I bet that these make the perfect bite - sweet, salty, and savory. The best part is that you grill this dish. Just gorgeous!
Hibiscus Martini
This martini is magically made with tequila and hibiscus flowers. Very special, maybe for a girls night in?
Cajun Shrimp Guacamole Bites
A recipe that features three of my favorite things. It's colorful and surely tasty.
Mexican Shrimp Ceviche
With all of the flavors of Summer, this bright appetizer will cool off any warm weather day. It's an easy recipe that plays well with an ice cold beer and good music!
The Seaside Baker
Watermelon-Mint Caipirinha
Oh how refreshing! This cocktail calls for cachaça, a liquor I have never heard of. It sounds fun though.

Brie, gorgonzola, gouda, cheddar, fresh summer berries and cherries! Is this not gorgeous? Adding the Summer fruit really makes it pop. Bring this to your next patio party, and you will be asked back for sure.
