WARNING. WARNING. If you are on a bridal diet do not scroll down. I repeat. Do not scroll down.
This blog goes against everything Henry mentioned in “Is That Paleo?” And to all of you other brave readers and foodies out there, you’re welcome for posting this after Spring Break. You can thank me later.
Recently, I checked another thing off of my wedding planning “to do” list and it has undoubtedly been one of my faves of the whole planning experience so far … the tasting.
I knew I was leaving on a family vacay later that day and with a wedding in (can you believe it?) just about three months … all I could think was “I have a dress to fit into!” Well, as soon as they started bringing out the food, I pushed those thoughts aside, and instead of counting calories, I was counting the amount of food I could fit in my stomach in one sitting!
I know y’all are just dying to see some of the things we tasted … but I’m giving nothing away on what we picked or didn’t end up picking. That would be a spoiler for my wedding! Also, there are things that we tried that I was too busy eating to snap a picture of. Sorrrrry … but my stomach was definitely not sorry. Bon appétit!
If you’re an avid follower of our BZ Blog you know we are obsessed with all things mini. These mini margs did not disappoint!
The only thing that I would have changed were to have more of them. But the good people at The Houstonian were on their A-game (as always) and read my mind…
Two baby margs! We now have a recipe I’d swear by. Get a pen. Write this down.
If you need a good margarita recipe and you’re a margarita snob, like my family, you can thank me later … Ready?
1/3 Silver Tequila
1/3 Grand Marnier
1/3 Fresh Lime Juice
Add Agave Nectar to taste.
Shake it. Try it. Love it. You’re welcome.
Options for passed appetizers. At this point, we were all going strong. All smiles + happy stomachs.
All of these options were AMAZEEEE and I definitely cleared my plate.
Caught: Big John breaking his “Spring Break Diet” to munch on a slider … You would too if it looked like this!
(Big John is my amazing dad — look how cute his blue sports coat is! We all know Henry would approve.)
YES. I hear the hallelujah choirs singing.
Crab cakes with avocado slaw. At this point I’m drooling.
I realize mashed potato bars are somewhat overdone. But I’ve wanted one since I was a little girl. Seriously.
Thanksgiving is my favorite meal solely for the potatoes. If you need another good recipe for some great ‘taters, let me know. I won’t steer you wrong. I love potatoes. Give me a break.
Stir fry is definitely not in my bridal diet. Did I eat it anyways? Yes. I needed a side order of MORE PILATES after it.
Finally, a quartet of soup shooters to finish! All were great, of course.
You’re welcome for the wonderful food pictures. I’m sorry that you are now starving and have to run to your pantry or nearest restaurant to satisfy your new food cravings.
My advice for future B+Gs getting ready for their tastings … come HUNGRY!
Until next time ~ BZ intern, Brynne
PS — any ideas for a great work out to burn off this tasting? Eeeks!
