Summer is my favorite time to entertain friends and family. I love taking normal cookout foods and shaking them up! Check out these must have creative foods for your next Summer party. I also got my hands on an amazing new entertaining tool, a Wooden Feast Board. My neighbor recently launched Woodkith, a handcrafted business creating all natural wooden home accents, tables, benches and custom pieces. The pieces are absolutely beautiful!

Wrap hot dogs in crescent rolls and bake for 8-9 minutes at 350 or until croissants are golden brown. Drizzle with ketchup and mustard with an artistic look and delicious taste.
Veggie & Hummus Dips
We love mini solo cups for personal hummus and vegetable dips.
Interactive S'mores Bar
Utilize a camping burner, marshmallows, graham crackers and toppings like crushed peanuts and sprinkles to create delicious s'more sandwiches.
