>Hi Y’ALLLLL!

How was your day? Mine was great. It started with a Green-A-Colada + coffee in the sun 🙂 Got a lot of work done, took the pup (Michael) to the dog park, then headed out for GORGEOUS 7-miler around the Potomac River, Lincoln Monument, and Reflecting Pool. Twas wonderful.
To break up the work I whipped up some Homemade Garlic Lemon Hummus compliments of Garlic Gold. If you are a garlic fan like myself, and you haven’t tried Garlic Gold yet – you’re missing out.

Ingredients:

– 3/4 can Garbanzo beans (chic peas)
– 1 can white beans
– 2 finely diced garlic cloves
– 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
– 2 tbsp rice vinegar
– 2 tbsp H20
– 1/2 tsp sea salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
– 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (more if you like it HOT)

Directions:

– Add ingredient to food processor and blend
– Garnish with paprika and a little EVOO
– Serve chilled

Sooooo, can you guess where I’m headed tomorrow? The Manfriend, sister, and I are driving home to New Hampshire for….The New England Country Music Festival!


I can hardly contain my excitement! We rented a few hotel rooms with my cousins and some NH friends. It’s become a family tradition and I have every intention of keeping this one alive 🙂

I’m most pumped to:
– See my brother, sister-in-law (to be!), cousins, friends
– Sip skinny margaritas in the sun
– Tailgate with amazing grillers and snacks we have planned
– Dance/sing literally ALL DAY
– Then crash at our hotel and avoid concert traffic

CAN.NOT.WAIT

Questions:
Do you like country music?
What was the last concert you went to?
What’s your favorite tailgaitin’ food?
Do you have any family (or friend) traditions????
See you all next Monday for a recap! Have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!!!
