Party Pinwheels

"Delicious and a party favorite. When I ask what I should bring to a party, everyone requests pinwheels. This recipe is awesome as it is, but there are literally tons of variations that you can try on your own, or by looking at other reviews. I make them a day before I cut them and they cut nicely when they're cold." — Rvines1003
Barbie's Tuna Salad
DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS
"My go to tuna salad recipe. Been making this for couple years now. It's so good, and the flavors are just right. The curry is the secret ingredient that really makes it so good. Would have never thought of it myself. The family really loves it. I usually make a quadruple batch, and have it for snacking for several days!" — Wkreeg68

Frittata Wrap with Ham and Cheese
"A very nice idea for a lunch on-the-go. I skipped the broiler part and cooked it like a regular frittata flipping it over to cook it on both sides. Thank you for the recipe." — Buckwheat Queen
Watermelon Salad

Homestyle Potato Chips

Best Fruit Dip
DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS

Perfect Summer Fruit Salad
Dotdash Meredith Food Studios

Cowboy Caviar
"This is my go-to recipe. I love to make this for lunch at work and for family functions. It's delicious. You can make it hotter by using jalapenos or you can make it mild by using green chiles. Delicious! Love it! It also makes a huge portion." — Carol
