I think a nice cheese cake with fruit or flavours of your locale

Answer 3

Well, for me the one item I always go for at summer parties is the big bowl of fresh fruit. Cakes and pies are wonderful, ice cream, sorbets, fruit bars and smoothies are fantastic, but there's something about fresh fruit, plain, all tossed in a bowl that just refreshes the palate, makes me feel light and satisfied.  I know it's kinda expensive sometimes but it sounds like you don't have too many people to prepare for.  I would buy one Cantaloupe, one Honeydew, one Pineapple, 1 quart of strawberries, 1/2 lb. of red/green seedless grapes, (cut in bite size pieces and mix together) then one pint of raspberries, blueberries, blackberries (to sprinkle on top) so they won't discolor your gorgeous fruit bowl.  Then, I cut some Orange and Pink Grapefruit wedges to line the outside of the bowl and that's it!  This is my favorite, so I hope you enjoy the simplest of pleasures to entertain your family and friends!

Answer 9

Strawberry Shortcake.   There's a great shortcake recipe on the back of a box of Bisquick.  

Answer 10

I would get a watermelon and buy lots of fresh fruit, berries, peaches, pears, grapes, pineapple, cantaloupe, oranges etc cut the top quarter of the watermelon off - you can zig zag edges if you want - remove all the melon down to a good pink layer of melon near the rind.  Make melon balls from the water melon and remove seeds -- also just use the very center of the watermelon as it is the heart and is the sweetest part, cubes, etc of all the fruit (grapes can go in whole) and mix all together and put back in the rind.  Chill it at least overnight so that flavors marry a little..  make sure you serve it very cold.  You might want to bring some bowls to serve it in, too.

Good luck!
