Frito-Lay Summer Entertaining Pack

With summer fast approaching, we’ll soon be in the thick of family reunions, graduations, weddings, and all sorts of gatherings. There’s nothing like having a little help with entertaining, so Frito-Lay are offering you tips and recipes for your summer buffet – and one lucky reader will win a Frito-Lay Summer Entertaining Prize Pack to help them simplify their next gathering, so read on!

I recently signed up for the Frito-Lay Fan Program, where you have the opportunity to receive news, offers, and free samples to review. As my welcome into the program, I received a big box over Memorial Day weekend filled with chips, dip, and an insulated bag. I’m a sucker for snacks, so I tore into the chips about 5 seconds after I received them! The package included a bag of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips, a bag of Tostitos Scoops, and a bag of Tostitos Hint of Lime tortilla chips. I’ve been noshing on the classic chips for as long as I can remember, so of course those were a hit! Neither Jai or I had tried the Hint of Lime chips before, but we really enjoyed them. We ate pretty much all the Lime and Classic chips before we even had a chance to buy sour cream to make the dip. 😀 Fortunately, there were plenty of Tostitos Scoops left, which are made for dipping! The dip packet I received was Garden Onion, and all you do is add it to a tub of sour cream and stir. I love anything onion, so this dip went down well! Perhaps a little too well, since we pretty much ate all the chips and dip before the weekend was over! 😉

Frito-Lay have some fun ideas and recipes for entertaining to share with you:

Summer Entertaining with Frito-Lay

The time is here for summer barbecues, picnics and outdoor parties! Make summer entertaining fun, easy and oh-so-tasty with these party tips and appetizer and snack recipes featuring fruits and veggies:

  • Keep Your Cool – When it’s hot outside, the last place you want to be is in a kitchen with the oven blazing! Cool down with appetizers and snacks made from fruits and veggies, like our easy-to-make Garden Lime Dip — a perfect pairing with snacks like Tostitos® Hint of Lime chips!
  • Keep it Simple – A party isn’t a party without chips and dip, but not all chips are created equal. For example, some of Frito-Lay’s most popular snacks, such as Tostitos Scoops! tortilla chips and Lay’s Classic potato chips are made with only three simple ingredients: potatoes or corn, healthier oils and salt – that’s it! Use your favorite chips as a vehicle to dish up extra nutrition by pairing them with dips made with fruits and vegetables, like our Mango Salsa Chutney.
  • Keep it Fun – Give a traditional potluck a modern twist by asking guests to share their recipes before they arrive. As guests leave the party, provide them with a festive printout of all the recipes so they can recreate the tasty dishes at home.

Giveaway time!

  1. Summer entertaining tip: Eat outside as often as possible! It keeps the atmosphere more casual and fun!

  3. I allways fill a dish with ice and put smaller dish with salads like potato or maccaroni on top to keep cold.

  4. My best entertaining tip is invite people you love, that way if anything goes wrong it will still be okay

  5. Cheap pool for the kids to splash around in in the backyard while adults enjoy the sun!

  6. I like to serve a bowl of cut fruit and/or chips and dip! Everyone loves these types of tasty treats… am I right? 🙂 I especially love to entertain with Frito Lay, because so many of their products are gluten free… and my son is on a gluten free diet… so there ya go!

  13. Summer is all about Keeping it Simple! Keep the food/snacks basic BBQ fare and don’t stress yourself with fancy gourmet attempts. I’m for healthier food options and there are loads of veggies that can be easily grilled along with burgers and brats to provide a variety of sides that can be safely put out to eat without fretting how long they’ve been out of refrigeration.
    While you are grilling the veggies, we love grilled pineapple! Our groceries sell cored pineapple for the same price and all you have to do is slice it and grill.

  16. My tip is to be spontaneous, because if you plan too far in advanced, you worry too much and the expectations of your guests will be higher than a last minute get together.

  17. My tip is to check out your local thrift store for vintage, unique, inexpensive items you can decorate with. Utilizing your thrift store finds will ensure to have a budget-friendly, one-of-a-kind centerpeice and decorations.

  18. My favorite tip is to have plenty of bug spray and sun screen on hand. People will enjoy themselves a lot more when they are comfortable. You don’t want to be known for the party where everyone got a bad sun burn!

  25. My tip is to have toys for the big ‘kids’
    One is never too old for bubbles and water balloons~

  27. My summer entertaining tip is to make sure you have something to keep the bugs away if you plan on eating or entertaining outdoors. altern147 [at] yahoo [dot] com

  32. Only plan to make things that are prepared and chilled ahead of time, with the exception of grilling items. Then you have no prep work the day of, your kitchen stays cool and so do you!

  33. We fill a few coolers with ice and water bottles so drinks are kept cold and easy for the guests to help themselves.

  35. 2 things. Yummy food and something to keep the bugs away.

  40. My hint is to get done what you have to beforehand so that you can ENJOY your company. Enjoying your company is about the best way to be a good host, so if that means downsizing or cleaning only the most visible spaces….so be it!

  43. I foolw everyone on google, we have always loved a good bar-be-que and friends,GOD BLESS YA’LL

  48. Make sure to have lots of ice, when entertaining in the Summer months it gets hot so the guest will be drinking lots so ice is very much needed.
