I don't have a clue yet. What's everyone making at their shows next month?
 
Nothing firm yet either....

Right now, I'm considering:

Summertime salads: Southwestern Salad or Cool N Crunchy Chicken Taco Salad, cooking the chicken as guests arrive in the DCB.

Keep It Cool: Ice Cream Social idea

Grill & Chill: Grilled Pizza or "Kebobless Kabobs"

One Pot Wonders: Bacon, Linguini and Tomato Toss
 
Does anyone know if the BLT toss can be done on a hot plate? I find that hotplates don't heat up as much as tradition stovetops so that has me concerned. I'll do the bacon on a stone in the oven or micro pre-schow...
 
I am offering:
The Deluxe Cheeseburger Salad
The Ice Cream Sandwich Torte
15-Minute Fajitas and MargaritasI need to come up with another dessert choice. I really want to do the salad because it is extremely simple, so that's the one I "sell" my hosts on. I'm doing a lot of them! LOL!
 
Great ideas Chef Kearn....totally forgot about the cheeseburger one. Is it easy as a show demo?

Yes, it is soooooo simple! Since it calls for a bag salad you couldn't get easier. And it does taste just like a cheeseburger.
 
Thanks! Need to try it...I'm all about easy! lol Looks like I may have another option for my salad theme shows. =)
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some easy appetizers I can make for a July party?

For a July party, consider making fresh summer rolls with shrimp and vegetables, a classic caprese salad skewers, or a refreshing watermelon and feta salad. These dishes are not only easy to prepare but also light and perfect for warm weather gatherings.

How can I incorporate seasonal ingredients into my recipes?

July is a great month for fresh produce! Incorporate seasonal ingredients like tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, and berries into your recipes. You can create vibrant salads, salsas, or even grilled vegetable platters that highlight the flavors of summer.

What are some fun drink ideas for a July event?

For drinks, consider serving a refreshing lemonade or iced tea with a twist, such as adding fresh herbs like mint or basil. You could also create a signature cocktail using seasonal fruits, like a berry mojito or a peach sangria, to keep your guests cool and refreshed.

How can I make my party recipes more visually appealing?

Presentation is key! Use colorful ingredients, serve food on beautiful platters, and garnish dishes with fresh herbs or edible flowers. Consider using clear cups for drinks or layering ingredients in jars for a trendy look that will impress your guests.

Can I prepare any of these recipes in advance?

Yes, many recipes can be prepared in advance! Dishes like dips, salads, and desserts can often be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Just be sure to keep ingredients that may wilt or spoil, like avocados or certain greens, separate until serving time to maintain freshness.
