The end of April is here; Spring Break is over; I’m counting down the days until school lets out for Summer Vacation! Just six more weeks of alarm clocks and grouchy mornings. I’ve started cleaning up the yard, but there is just so much to do. I honestly don’t know if I’ll actually get it all done. It’s a good thing I put together this collection of Outdoor Entertaining Favorites which include decor, drinks, and recipes.
No matter, because I’ll still have friends over to cookout soon! It’s time to inspire you with these fun Outdoor Entertaining Favorites for food, drinks, and crafts to get you ready for your first outdoor gathering of the year.

Outdoor Entertaining Ideas
It’s time to inspire you with these Outdoor Entertaining Favorites for food, drinks, and crafts to get ready for your first outdoor gathering of the year.
When most people think of grilling, they think of meat. But there are many other things you can grill! Peaches are an excellent choice for grilling because they have a nice sweetness and juiciness that intensifies when grilled. Plus, they’re easy to work with and go well with different flavors.
Lemons are so bright and fresh and I think they are perfect for spring and summer entertaining.
This old drawer flower box is one of my favorite upcycles and still sits on my patio and is doing fabulously.
When you just want to make one glass of homemade lemonade, this is how you do it! This single-serving lemonade recipe is so easy!
Celebrate summertime with a S'mores Ice Cream Cake! An ice cream cake worthy of your time to make and share with your friends and family. Cool and Creamy.
Turn your urban yard or patio in to an outdoor oasis with these small backyard ideas.
Sweet grapefruit and spicy jalapeños combine for a flavor profile that dances in your mouth.
These Root Beer floats aren't for the kids! They are spiked with a shot of Vodka to make your day drinking that much more fun! Cheers!
A new idea for an old mantle.
This Restaurant-Style Chipotle Salsa recipe is the best! Get those tortilla chips ready because this easy homemade salsa made with canned tomatoes can be made in about 5 minutes.
When it comes to hosting any party, appetizers are a must! Be it a birthday lunch, Spring brunch, baby shower or cocktail with your girls friends. They are little mouthfuls of delight to tantalize your taste buds!
A seasonal and fruity Blood Orange Cinnamon Margarita is a new twist on a Traditional Margarita. Enhance it with a cinnamon sugar rim!
Enjoy this fruity and delicious Citrus White Wine Sangria right from the comfort of your own home. It’s also a great adult beverage to make when you’re hosting.
