It's time for another round of 5 After 5! In case you missed it, last week's list was five books you plan to read this summer and if you're new to this series, you can read more about it here - then catch up on all the old editions here.
Today I've got my list of 5 to share, as well as next week's topic for you to stew about over the upcoming days.
And this series is a link party, so be sure to scroll down and join in all the fun with us this week!
Favorite Cookout Food
If you invite me to a cookout, then I'll be getting my taste buds all geared up for a few specific things:
1. Anything containing bacon
And there are always a few dishes with bacon on the table, because when you're at a loss over what to bring to a cookout, all you have to do is just open your pantry and add bacon to whatever you've got in there and you know it'll be a winner.
2. Hummus
I'm fine with the standard version, but I love to mix it up a bit with recipes like this one or ideas like these, too!
3. Pasta salad
I love 'em all.
Especially if they contain bacon.
4. Deviled Eggs
I'm warning you, if you bring these, you'd better bring several dozen, because I'm pretty much going to down at least 24 of the little boogers by my 4th & 5th passes at the food tables.
What? You mean you don't make 4 or 5 passes at the food tables? Let me tell you, you are missing out!
Sometimes people don't feel comfortable bringing these tasty treats to the party because they're all worried about the eggs sitting out in the hot sun all day.
But I like to live dangerously, so I say, bring them on!

5. Nifty little finger food
I'm thinking of those over-achievers who bring fancy little filled phyllo cups, or anything bound inside a crescent roll, or anything stuffed with creme cheese and then, you guessed it, wrapped in bacon!

Favorite ice cream flavors
There's not much better on a hot day than a drippy, double-scoop waffle cone filled with something yummy. I can't wait to hear about your favorite flavors, next week!
That's right, every post will be read, pinned and tweeted!
Every Saturday, just stop by one of our blogs to add your own list of five, then pop over and read as many other posts as you're able to each week - treat it like a true party and really mix it up and mingle with our fun little community!
The rules are simple: just write your own list following the prompt each week (feel free to interpret it loosely - or in a unique way!), follow both of the hosts on the social media channel of your choice, and then get into the spirit of the party by grabbing your favorite beverage or snack and reading the lists of the other party-goers.
Your Hosts:
Samantha, at Motivated Days: Twitter // Pinterest // Google+
