SUMMERTIME...AND THE LIVING IS... EASY??

Remember that old song? Summer is the time we look forward to gathering! What's better than fresh-cut grass, running through the sprinkler, sweet tea, fireflies, and friends gathered around the picnic table?! But whoever said it was easy?

It takes planning and effort to gather folks, with limited prep time, fulltime lives, and forty things bubbling on the back burner of every invited guest! Face it. We'd do it more if it were "easy." So, how about this. Instead of having everything on the host, or even asking guests to sweat it out in their kitchens to bring a dish, why not bring an ingredient and throw it all together for a Cool Summer "Throwdown" Summer Menu?

Pull together ingredients for a Garden Salad Bar. Or use my gift this month: Cool Throwdown Strawberry Salad Summer Menu.

Here's how it works:

Decide on a simple menu. Circulatenit to your guests and ask them to sign on to bring ONE INGREDIENT.

As host/hostess, YOU provide the basics; lettuce, dressing, and beverage. For a salad meal, infused waters are refreshing and always a hit. When guests arrive, assemble a team to assemble and serve.

One and Done!

A Take-home for Every Guest
