Choosing Summer Fare
Summer is all about easy entertaining.
Experts will tell you to think light when preparing a summer party menu.
Think summer salads such as fruit and ham, chicken artichoke, strawberry shrimp melon, antipasto, Greek, or marinated vegetable. For soups and sandwiches think Gazpacho or Texas melon soup and pressed or brie peach sandwiches. Think simple grilled meats and fish for main courses. For dessert, try lemonade pie or sherbert fruit pie.
Stay away from heavy pasta dishes and heavy stews and roasts. Avoid really hot foods in general. No one wants to eat steaming hot food on a steaming hot day. And be conscious of dishes with cheese or chocolate that will melt in the sun or hot weather.
