10 Summer Backyard Party Recipe Ideas + MONDAY FUNDAY Link Party

It’s time for another party, and this week I got to choose the fun features from last week’s link party.

Summer to us means a lot of backyard barbecuing and fun!

Last week, I shared 5 FAB watermelon treats to get the summer partying started.

And to celebrate the end-of-the-school-year with my niece and my daughter, I baked up some brownie cupcakes packaged in a cute can for a yummy surprise.

And for today’s features, I picked recipe ideas, both savory and sweet, that are perfect for summer backyard parties!
