Let’s celebrate this long Labor Day weekend with all my favorite Labor Day Recipes! Make the most of these last few days of summer with all the yummy food!
Are the days just FLYING by for everyone else as quickly as they are for me? I mean. Seriously, I feel like just last week Trevor and I were saying “Where the HECK did the week go?” and now we’re saying the same thing about this week!
But I’m happy, because that means Fridays (which PS – We’ve been doing FB Live Videos at 11 AM CST on Fridays and today we’re making One Bowl Brownies <– be there) and weekends are coming faster, and Labor Day Weekend is right around the corner!
I’m particularly excited for this Labor Day Weekend, because two of our friends (Hi Casey & Sondra 👋) are getting MARRIED!!! Trevor is officiating the wedding, I found a really cute dress, I’m sure the food with be fantastic, and to top it off, two days later, we’re headed to SEATTLE!
You guys. I’m so pumped.
For those of you that ARE around for Labor Day Weekend, today, I’ve gathered up my fave Labor Day Recipes, so you can enjoy what I consider, kinda the last hurrah of summer!
