Bunless Burger Bites!

This is a great way to enjoy your grilled burgers! They are bite-sized, fun and delicious. Just grill your meat to perfection, and add your favorite burger ingredients. You could even let guests put their own together to make these an activity!

Guacamole Hummus

This dip is the perfect compliment to chips or tortillas, and it goes great with the burger bites too! It is a colorful addition to your table, and is actually quite easy to make.

Mini Chicken and Mango Tostadas

These are an amazing appetizer for your Labor Day get together. One of my favorite things is how easy they are to make. If you also make the Guacamole Hummus from above: you can use it rather than make more guacamole just for these to save time and add more flavor.

Drink Cooler Planter Centerpiece

This is a fantastic way to liven up your table! Place ice and fresh-picked flowers (or the fake ones if you prefer) inside a metal planter, then fill it with your beverages of choice. It puts all the drinks right in the middle of the table and looks really nice as well.

Watermelon On A Stick

Who doesn't like a nice cool slice of watermelon in the outdoor heat? These will help to make those slices of watermelon more fun, and less messy at the same time!

Fresh Peach Cake

Not everyone wants something as rich as the Banana Split Lasagna, so include this for those with a more "mature" pallet. Even if you make both desserts, your guests will clamor for more of each!
