Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in event trends. With so many over the top dessert ideas (don’t get us wrong, we love a fancy chocolate chip cookie with sea salt) but sometimes you just have to revert to go back to what you really loved when you were younger. That’s where the classic Rice Krispies Treat comes in. It’s easy, delicious and takes you right back to your childhood.

Summer Appetizer: Cucumber Cup Ceviche

Fish or Shrimp Ceviche served in a Cucumber Cup might be the best summer appetizer! It’s cool, refreshing and tastes amazing. Pair it with a Rasta Taco Cart and you’re event will be complete. We’d throw in some light bar service too. Nothing can cool you down like some refreshing agua fresca or a Corona.

What’s your favorite summer appetizer?
