We often serve salads at our pool parties and one of our favorites is chicken salad. If I am in a rush, I buy it from our local grocery store. Made with red grapes and celery it is really tasty. Serve it with a slice of cantaloupe and a bunch of green grapes. For cold salad recipes click here:

Beach Party Cake
Serve fun cupcakes for your beach party dessert. Wrap a colorful cupcake wrapper around the cupcake and top it with a "beach umbrella." Use brown colored sugar as sprinkles or just use a bright color like green, blue or orange. If you decide to make your own cupcakes, I found that store bought frosting works better than homemade frosting. On a warm or hot day, homemade frosting melts and the cupcakes don't look very fresh. The store bought frosting stays in place and looks fresh so you can keep the cupcakes outside until they are ready to be served. Place the cupcakes in a cupcake stand and use it as a centerpiece.
