There’s a lot we love about Pride month. From celebrating our own identities to showering our LGBTQIA2S+ friends and family with love and support, it’s a time of community togetherness. And what’s one thing that every community gathering needs? Some delicious food, of course! But forget about the boring casseroles and beige side dishes you’re used to being served at such get-togethers. It’s Pride month, after all, so it’s time to add a little color to the proceedings.
Yes, we’re talking about rainbow recipes. Whether you’re a hard femme who wears all black or a bear who sports leather, everyone still deserves a little bit of color in their lives at Pride, so why not go all out with your party food? From the family-friendly (rainbow pizza!) to the night out must-haves (layered rainbow shots!), there’s something here for everyone. And rainbow foods don’t just have to be sweet — we’ve included several colorful savory recipes, too.
Take a look at the recipes below and get ready to plan a visually stunning menu for your Pride celebrations…even if your Pride celebration consists of sitting on the couch with some snacks and seltzer so you can re-watch But I’m a Cheerleader or Troye Sivan’s Rush music video for the hundredth time.
