Summer is right around the corner and I couldn’t be more excited! To me, it translates to more quality time with my guys, warm sunshine and no itineraries. And of course, great summer food!
Some of my favorite food bloggers and I have gotten together to share with you our recipes we love to bring to summer parties. You’ll find anything from dips, appetizers, desserts and drinks. Along with a variety of pasta and veggie salads! Before you get to all that, I thought I’d share with you some summer recipes (and family favorites!) that are already here on Simply Gloria.
The best part about outdoor summer parties is, the grill is smoking and sending off the amazing aroma (and advertising through the neighborhood) that says, there’s more than just meat smoking over here… there’s an array of delicious food to go along with it!
Here are the 10 best summer recipes you can already find here on Simply Gloria!
Try a different way to dress up the grilled hot dogs. The whole family will love these easy Cheesy Sloppy Dogs!
Why not serve Pulled Pork Nachos as an appetizer?! Ridiculously delicious! This is also a great idea when you have no idea how to use the huge pork butt you grilled the day before.
An oldy, but a goody… this Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Salad is definitely my guys’ most favorite pasta salad.
You’d be surprised (and happy) at how delicious bacon and dill weed make for the best Creamy Potato Salad.
Speaking of bacon… these homemade and easy Baked Beans With Bacon are a must to make for your friends!
This Spinach Artichoke Parmesan Dip is my favorite to make any time of the year. Serve it hot or cold and it’s amazing!
I love packing this Picnic Style Caprese Salad in individual jars when we go out on the boat. Super easy and always a hit!
After tending the grill all day, this Bananas Foster Cookie Pizza is my husband’s most favorite dessert. He says it compliments the amazing ribs he just smoked. {smiling}
Root beer floats definitely reminds me of summer. And these Root Beer Float Cookie Sandwiches have summer written all over them! You will love how these taste… pinky swear promise!
I think you are starting to notice ice cream floats are my favorite, right? Well, if you live here or have been surrounded by Utahns, then you know what a dirty drink is… and the whole entire family will fall in love with these Dirty Dr. Pepper Floats!
Make these easy Blueberry Frozen Custard Pops the night before your summer party and you’ll have a dessert the whole crowd will be in love with!
