labor day weekend ~ drinks & dishes!

Three-day weekends are one of my favorite things! Here are a few of my favorite drinks and side dishes for your weekend 🙂 .

My favorite Summer Sangria ~ delicious with in season summer fruit ~

These fried green beans are a great and easy appetizer. Try them with my Summer Sangria ~~~

My Watermelon Mojito is the taste of summer in a glass. MY SCBD tip (small change, big difference) is to freeze the watermelon juice as a base ~ it really amps up the flavor. Details are in the post 🙂

Orzo & Zucchini with Basil is one of those recipes I’ve made so long I can’t remember its original source ~~~ but it’s a favorite!  It works as a side dish with anything that comes off a grill, holds up well as a take along, and comes together in under 20 minutes.

I first made this Lemon Basil Sorbet last Labor Day weekend at Bluwatermom’s and it is so refreshing! Add a tequila floater for an adult treat ~~~

There are still a few weeks of summer and then it’s time for the new season ~ college football! We’re headed south for our Florida Keys road trip to extend our summer a bit. When we return, I’ll be starting a series in September with some of my blogging friends to welcome the new season. Whether you love the fall or just look forward to football (that’s me!), we all love three-day weekends!
