Jimmy Buffet Party + Summer Cookout Sides

 Hi friends! We recently celebrated my brother-in-law’s birthday, and since it was a milestone birthday for him, we wanted it to be something a little special. He LOVES Jimmy Buffett, so a Jimmy Buffett themed pool party and cookout were what we did. My sister and I came up with some fun and fitting menu items for the occasion. The recipes we found ended up being delicious! I got some questions on them over on my Instagram and wanted to share them on here. Not only are these great for a Jimmy Buffett themed party, but they’re perfect for a summer cookout, July 4th menu and more. I’ll share some photos then list + link the menu. I also wanted to create a “fins up fruit bowl” which called for carving a watermelon into a shark then filling it with fruit. It ended up being SO cute! If you want to check out a video how-to, see this reel 🙂

Had to incorporate a “Looking for my lost shaker of salt” tag on the salt haha 🙂

(Here’s the print out I created for the salt shaker)
