We opted to keep the menu for our summer shindig simple and satisfying. A breezy, relaxed, informal festivity requires no lavish, fancy food items. Keep it simple and straightforward with just a few summer staples that are easy to serve and quick to clean up. Nothing says summer in the south quite like grilled hot dogs and juicy watermelon. Remember that not every food served at your function has to come from your kitchen. Southern Baked Pies has seriously become an entertaining essential at our house. I love how easy it is to have a homemade dessert ready in under an hour. The cherry flavor reflects the taste of summer in every spoonful making it a perfect last course at this celebration. No summer party is complete without a Jackson Morgan spiked milkshake, recipe coming soon.
