It’s Sunday! We are so looking forward to a relaxing few days after a busy weekend from tailgating for a football game with friends on Friday to attending our fourth Diner en Blanc on Saturday. In case you’re wondering what all Diner en Blanc entails, check out my post from last year’s event here.
On the blog this week
All the bites – I shared one of my favorite new recipes – these bite-sized wedge salads – on the blog this week. I love a good iceberg, bacon, and blue cheese salad, and this version was perfect for our Twilight Polo tailgate.
These veggie bars take such little time and effort. They’re perfect for tailgates, after school or work snacks, and appetizers at your next dinner party.
A little organizing – Since we have equestrian events and football games coming up this fall, I wanted to share with y’all how we stay organized throughout the madness!
For my father-in-law’s birthday this year, the guys organized a golf tournament with his close friends. We put together these boxed lunches to keep the golfers fed and happy as they turned the corner.
