From Donna Pilato, your Guide to Entertaining
To me, summer is all about fresh food, easy cooking, and light-hearted fun. Enjoy the season and have an Entertaining week!

Bruschetta Appetizers
Who doesn't love a little two bite nibble? That's why bruschetta are such popular party appetizers. That, and the fact that little pieces of bread are at the base of these appetizers. Oh, and don't forget that you have the perfect canvas for your favorite ingredient combinations. They're also really easy to make. Can you tell I like bruschetta? Here is a selection of different bruschetta variations to inspire your own creativity in the kitchen.

Savor the Garden with a Harvest Feast
Now is the time that gardens and gardeners are showing off. The summer bounty comes in faster than we can cook it up for our families. So it only makes sense to savor the flavors of summer with friends by hosting a summer harvest feast.

Have a Summer Seafood Dinner Party
When many of us head to seaside destinations for summer vacation, we find ourselves enjoying seafood meals, perhaps on a daily basis. We may need to return to the daily grind when vacation ends, but that doesn't mean we can't continue to enjoy the flavors of the shore in our own home.

Plan a Monkey Theme Party
I remember that when I was a kid, we used to add funny lyrics to the birthday song that go: "Happy Birthday to you, you live in a zoo, you look like a monkey, and you smell like one too." It was sung all in good fun, of course, and only to those we loved. But the popularity of these funny lyrics proves why a Monkey Theme Birthday Party is perfect for a group of kids that like to joke around with one another.
