Summer party food and recipes

Does summer have you in a picnic state of mind? Eating outside is as simple as throwing open the back door. When we circle our lawn chairs underneath a sunny sky, not only does life slow down, but we laugh more, worry less and just have more fun. The picnic state of mind is not about washing dishes or cooking perfection, but filling our plates with easy traditions and tasty memories.

Our oh-so-easy sizzling summer party menu features a fajita bar and make-your-own fruit crisps—just let your guests put together their favorite combinations for a festive outdoor feast everyone is sure to enjoy!
