We love enjoying yummy food with friends and family on the comfort of our deck. Whether you’re enjoying fresh vegetables from the garden or indulging in delicacies from the grill. If you want to entertain with side dishes other than the typical potato and pasta salad dishes, opting for specialty side items can be a fun start for everyone. Try changing things up with a Caprese salad with tomatoes fresh from the garden.

Summer is the perfect time to break out all the lawn games. Corn hole is a fun way to have a little friendly competition amongst guests.

No matter what ages you’re entertaining this summer, you will need some cold drinks on hand to keep everyone’s thirst quenched. Try mixing it up with fun drinks, rather than just lemonade and water. Whip up some watermelon margaritas for your adult guests, and add some bubbly soda for the kids! This is a party pleaser every time.
