THE LOW COUNTRY BOIL MENU
DRINKS
How pretty and refreshing does this look?
This Simple Sumer Spiked Strawberry Lemonade was made by Jen from Midwest Life and Style.
A perfect drink to serve as guests are gathering and appetizers are being enjoyed. Click here for the recipe.
APPETIZER
Have you ever had Carolina Caviar?
Anne from Simply2Moms said this is THE BEST appetizer to pair with a Low Country Boil.
How yummy does that look? So fresh and chock full of goodness.
Even the colors go with the tablescape! Click here for the recipe.
MAIN COURSE LOW COUNTRY BOIL
The star of this show is the boil itself. Look at all of these ingredients, cooked together with a special seasoning, it is a one pot meal and so easy to do. Well at least my friend Rachel from The Ponds Farmhouse makes it look easy. Click here for her Easy Low Country Boil recipe.
THE SIDES
Ok, so yes it’s really a meal in itself but how fun is it to leave out sides? Not very, so we are sharing two different sides with you. The first is a summer special that is fresh and light.
Made by Stacy of Bricks N Blooms, this Cucumber, Tomato and Onion Salad is sure to be a hit. I’m loving the colors.

So who doesn’t love Hush Puppies? I’m talking the kind you eat, not wear. I am dating myself I know.
I don’t normally fry foods, if I make donuts, they are baked but c’mon it’s a Low Country Boil. We like to focus on easy recipes and shortcuts so that’s exactly what I’m sharing.
I bought a packaged mix of Hush Puppies and then doctored them up to my liking. The details are below.
DESSERT
How about this for a fancy dessert? Michele’s presentation is on point.
I am a sucker for anything in a jar and this is no exception. Michele of Vintage Home Design is sharing her Old Fashioned Banana Pudding in a Jar. Click here for the recipe.
A perfect choice to wrap up our boil.
I think you can agree that you have everything you need to create a FUN AND FABULOUS LOW COUNTRY BOIL. You can also add any one of these recipes to other menus you are creating this summer.
If you make the banana pudding, be sure to invite me!

Can you believe I’ve never tried making hush puppies at home? You make it look so simple and your additions sound perfect to get the sweet bush puppy flavor I prefer. Pinned for later and gonna buy some mix today!
