Jeremy.....How hot/spicy is the Nancy's chili sauce? Maybe the grape jelly cuts back on the "heat"?

No heat really ,more for the taste . I'e never heard anyone say they were spicy or too spicy and I get asked alot to bring them to parties .

Fresh cut up fruit on ice, always a hit. Very refreshing on these hot summer days.  It's pricey and that's why nobody brings it.

Yes, always a good hit!

I just finished cutting up a cantaloupe and a big chuck of watermelon for personal consumption, love them both.

For a family gathering though, most folks seem to gravitate to the things they don't normally chow on.  You know, live a little??

Sweet, fatty and delicious!

Just thought of this one that's awesome for the hot weather.... Texas Caviar dip (google the recipe) its black eyed peas and beans mixed with Italian dressing, cilantro and lime. Served cold there is just something about it that makes it refreshing.

About 3 minutes ago, wifey just dropped off a 1" long section of kielbasa wrapped in bacon. I'm ready to go out in the kitchen looking for more. It's not something to offset the heat, but as a party snack (appetizer), it was pretty darn good.

We love it too but another partygoer brings it every year.  If SHE wasn’t going to be there we’d make it!!

Strawberry shortcake  or peach cobbler for s dessert

Hijacked from another forum. Old shared recipe. Tastes like jerky, bacon, and goodness all wrapped into one.

Venison Marinade

1 Cup Soy Sauce

1/2 Cup Brown Sugar

1/2 Cup Vinegar

1/2 Cup Pineapple Juice

2 teaspoons Salt

1/2 teaspoon Garlic Salt

Boil all ingredients then let simmer for 10 minutes. While that is being done take your deer meat and cut into stew meat chunks. Wrap 1/2 piece of bacon around meat piece and put a toothpick through to hold on bacon. Let maridade cool and then when cooled pour onto meat. Marinate for at least 4 hours. I like to do 8 to 10 just because it seems like it takes better. Grill on tin foil and then serve up. The remaining marinade DO NOT TOSS OUT! Freeze it and then you can reuse it by boiling then starting from top.

White Trash is always a hit especially with kids, look up the recipe but basically white chocolate over like a cereal snack mix. Use white, red and blue m&ms for the 4th.

Guac is always a good hot weather item.

Chocolate covered strawberries in red, white and blue. My wife makes these and it's strawberry season.

...or seeings how there's kids there. don't cook anything. go to walmart and buy a $19 snowcone machine, a few bottles of sugar syrup to go with it, and handful of bags of ice. it'll be the most covetted thing there.

garbage bread is another great one that's easy.

also weiner dogs in bacon with sticky honey bbq sauce.

i hope you mean the real stuff.  no angel food crap.  i mean homemade Bisquick biscuits, vanilla icecream, strawberries from the garden, and cool-whip to top it off. if you're an over achiever add shaved chocolate on top of all that.

I make a tortellini salad, just cool them and toss them with pesto, sliced cherry tomatoes, black olives, and Asiago cheese. Simple and really good

Whatcha opt for Lawdwaz?

One of my favorite summer salads is Cucumber Blueberry salad

Slice up some cucumbers, throw them in a bowl, add some blueberries, baby spinach and feta cheese, then pour in white balsamic dressing. Very tasty on a hot day.

Nothing like a smokin hot potato skin, on a steaming hot, and humid day to really make you sweat...oh, and melted cheese burning the roof of your mouth, while your backsweat makes your shirt stick to you.
