It is once again that time of the year! Having a home with an awesome view of the city fireworks is just asking for us to host for the festivities. This year, we kept it more simple having a new 8-week old at home. I did not want to prep, cook and clean all day this year. Instead we opted to invite people for savory nibbles and dessert (ice cream sundaes=no prep time needed!). This cut down on the prep and the guest list since less people are willing to trudge to our house for 3 hours or so and then fight traffic to go home. I also asked for people to bring something which I hardly ever do….I think this was only the second potluck I’ve hosted.
Here’s a run-down of the menu
- BBQ Chicken Pizza: Store-bought whole wheat dough topped with BBQ sauce, mozzarella, store-bought BBQ pulled chicken, thinly sliced red onion, sliced black olives, frozen roasted corn and cilantro to garnish
- Loaded Nachos with: Store-bought BBQ pulled pork, BBQ sauce, Mexican blend cheese, black beans, caramelized onions, guacamole, pico de gallo
- Sundae Bar: Vanilla, Cookie Dough & Mint Chip Ice Creams. Salted caramel sauce, hot fudge, sliced almonds, strawberries, bananas, brownies, sprinkles and whipped cream
