And we're back, and headed to the pool!

It's a summertime affair... Sun and fun in the atmosphere! Join us as we celebrate the end of summer with a pool party bash. Swimming, drinking, snacking and partying... that's what it's all about. 

Today we're partying in the pool with some Watermelon/Mango salsa, Caprese skewers, Mango mojitos and a "Splish Splash Bash" playlist. 

Come on in, the waters fine and...

The pots are on!

The Plate... 

Watermelon/Mango Salsa & Caprese Skewers

Going with something a little lighter today. I mean hey, you're at the pool. No time to get bogged down with a lot of cooking. Although a little grilled chicken would be nice to go with the Caprese skewers. 

First a little chips with a cool and spicy salsa followed by the perfect "summer time" snack. 

Watermelon/Mango Salsa

What you need... 

3 cups seedless watermelon diced small
1 mango peeled and diced
2 ripe nectarines pitted and diced
2 jalapeños seeded and diced
1 tsp fresh cilantro
1/4 cup white onion diced
Juice from 1 lime
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
Your favorite chips

What you do...

Add the fruit, cilantro, onion and jalapeño to a large bowl.

Add the lime juice, olive oil and salt.

Toss to coat all the ingredients.

Cover and refrigerate for about an hour to allow the flavors to blend.

Serve with your favorite chips, maybe some grilled chicken or tuna. 

Caprese Skewers

What you need... 

Mozzarella balls
Cherry tomatoes
Fresh basil leaves
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

What you do...

Thread a small ball of mozzarella, basil, and cherry tomato on a skewer.

Drizzle balsamic vinegar and olive oil. 

Nice option- add a little watermelon and grilled chicken as well. 

The Playlist... 

Splish Splash Bash

Grab your cocktail and head to the pool. We've got you covered with the tunes. As usual we've got some old, some new and a couple of covers. Check out Shaggy's version of "In the Summertime". Also check out Los Straitjackets version of "California Sun". These guys are out of control... love it!

Whether it's Shaggy or Mungo Jerry, everyone agrees that summer is the time for sun and fun. 

And it doesn't matter if you're in the "California" sun or Georgia... it's all good.
