Holiday Celebrations

Gosh, I haven’t blogged in a long while!  I get caught up in other stuff quite easily and I tend to just let this go by the wayside more easily than I should. 

Justin and I went to celebrate the fourth and his birthday (which was yesterday!) at concerts in the garden.  Let’s just say Fort Worth Symphony + fireworks + patriotic music= awesomeness!

Here’s a picture recap of our evening, which included a picnic!

Packing up the pic-a-nic basket…

Appetizers!  Triscuits, veggies, and Ellie Krieger’s onion dip.  It’s sooo good, but be warned- it will give you onion breath, lol!

Half a ham and cheese sammich and wheat berry salad.

Close up of the wheat berry salad.  Here’s the recipe.  I think this is my favorite thing I’ve EVER made!  I cut the EVOO and lemon juice in half for the “dressing” to save some fat and calories.

  1. OMG, how cute is your picnic basket!! Where did you get that?

    • Erin, I think it came from Target. Someone at work gave it to me for my work bridal shower last summer. We love picnics so it’s come in very handy!
