Hope everyone had an excellent Memorial Day! I know we did...I did NOT want this weekend to end and I enjoyed every minute of it! Today we started the day at our niece's Memorial Day parade where she was walking with her Girl Scout Troop. The parade is always so patriotic and a good reminder of the holiday.
After that, we had to hurry home to get ready for our little picnic in the afternoon. I saw these at the Acme and knew today was the perfect day to try them out;) Yum, I haven't had "real" Doritos in ages!
They also had CHEESEBURGER flavor, but Scott figured since we were actually HAVING burgers...that maybe that was a bit of overkill:)
We had all our picnic basics: Scott's "secret onion burgers;)", loverly fruit salad, homemade baked beans and some potato & macaroni salad. Ya know...all American classics;)
We also had the first corn on the cob of the season...but I was so busy trying to get it to cool off that I forgot to take it's "Welcome to Summer" picture;) hahahahahhaa....
And I knew exactly what I wanted to make for dessert...First up: Frozen Strawberry Pie!
And for Scott, I made a Blueberry Buckle (IN the Toaster Oven!;) It was called 'buttery goodness', which is a pretty good compliment considering there was 2 tablespoons of butter in the ENTIRE THING!
I figured I covered all of the Patriotic colors;) And even managed to make a little vanilla bean whipped cream to go along with the warm 'buckle'! Yum!! I'll post the recipes for these soon, cause they were SUPER easy and DY-NO-MITE!!!
And yes...please don't mind the SNOWMAN paper plates;) AT LEAST that snowman is festooned in Red, White & Blue!!! :) hahahahahahhahahahaha......
Welllll....it's back to the grind time tomorrow, but at least it's a short week! Hope you enjoyed your weekend as much as we did!
