Summer in Park City is the best time to get caught up with friends and neighbors. Tom and I like to keep it simple with the tried- and-true potluck style of entertaining. A get-together is easy when everyone does a little something.

This is a creation of my own. It’s great for bring-a-plate parties and always gets rave reviews. Fast, fresh and easy. Also great if you have anyone with gluten free or dairy free restrictions in your group! Give it a try.
