Hey there reader!
I hope you had a great weekend! It was a busy weekend for us!
Friday, my kids and I took our annual blueberry picking trip. Every year, I try to break another record with the number of blueberries I pick. I plan to make a few batches of these blueberry muffins and then freeze the rest for smoothies and recipes for the next six months! Here's my tutorial on how to freeze blueberries.
Yesterday, Mike and I, and a group of friends, went to see Garth Brooks perform at Highmark Stadium (where the Buffalo Bills play). This concert was my 7th time seeing Garth, and he never disappoints; it was terrific.
Of course, in Buffalo fashion, we tailgated before the concert. I volunteered to be in charge of the food because if not, the only foods to choose from would be Bud Light and chips! Anyway, I brought a cheese and fruit platter and a veggie tray and purchased a sub tray. I also made a gluten-free pesto pasta salad and gluten-free turkey wraps, so I had some food options. And, I made this tasty greek dip that's easy to transport. It was great!
Today, we are heading out to my nephew's 10th birthday party, so, as you can see, it was a hectic weekend! I didn't have time to grocery shop or meal prep for the week. I'll feel it tomorrow, but it was worth it! We made lots of memories this weekend.
Before jumping into the rest of the newsletter I just wanted to let you know that we will do a mason jar salad challenge in a couple weeks. The challenge and recipe guide is almost done! I'm thinking about August 1st, but stay tuned!
Okay, let's get to the newsletter.
