A couple months ago we went to my friend Melissa’s house. She and her sweet family are friends of ours whom we often celebrate some holidays with since we don’t have family near by.

This time we were celebrating Mother’s Day and her birthday. When we arrived she had some appetizers out and one of them was this Easy Summer Appetizer!

Here is a picture of us on Halloween one year

She said this appetizer was her hubby’s idea but I’ll give her the credit here.

Melissa’s Easy Summer Appetizer

What you need:
