Recipes: August 2012

By Samantha Deebel

Well, summer has finally gotten hotter… and my kitchen is an oven itself during the day! But it’s pretty sweet that the ocean has stayed cool and refreshing, however hot it’s been.

Having a summer dinner in the garden is one of my favorite things to do during this kind of weather, and here is a menu for your own outdoor feast.

Don’t forget ice cream for dessert!

Assorted breads and crackers

Aloha spread

Crab spread

Seafood pasta salad

Mixed greens salad

Pickles and olives

 

Aloha Spread

1 8 oz. package of cream cheese, softened
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup flaked coconut
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 cup pecans

Beat cream cheese until fluffy, stir in remaining ingredients. Chill for a couple of hours and serve.
