Well hi and welcome to summer!
Today I have just popped in a few great ideas from other other people, because not everything I do can always be original ☺☺
So here you are, if you are hosting a party this summer or going to one. If you are a vegetarian or have guests that are.

Fruit, nuts, cheese, seeds and green leaves of your choice with an option of your favourite home-made dressing.

A light dusting of cinnamon or ginger or another of your favourite spices might just give it that little extra something.
