There can be more to mealtime at the cottage than burgers, hot dogs and toasted marshmallows (not that there's anything wrong with that!). If you keep a few basic ingredients on hand, it's easy to add variety. Take it easy on yourself with make ahead dishes and encourage guests to serve themselves buffet-style whenever possible.
| Lay out a table of fruit and make-ahead foods that everyone can help themselves to in the morning. | |
| Get out of the kitchen and down to the lake – there's no better way to spend your day than lazing on the dock, reading a book and nibbling snacks. And don't forget the drinks! | |
| Nothing says summer like a lakeside BBQ. Try these tasty twists on the standard burgers and salad. | |
| Grill up some hot dogs for the kids and have a grown-up supper for two – who says cottage eating can't be romantic? | |
