Can’t forget good food, appetizers, and snacks!

Before we get started, let’s have refreshments! Try this refreshingly, delicious Strawberry + Cilantro Mocktail!

It’s your space and there are no rules! HB & I were jokingly talking about all of the foods we were able to (re)create during this “panoramic”. Y’all…I even made a Homemade Mexican Pizza! It definitely keeps the FOMOS from creeping in. Because guess what? One day we will get back to in-person football games, we will get to entertain with family and friends, and we will get to enjoy outside BBQs filled with laughter! Just hang on…

Speaking of BBQs…before I get to a few of my favorite appetizers and snacks, don’t forget to circle back around and check out these BBQ Ribs with Blue Cheese Infused Hickory BBQ Sauce!

They can also (and SHOULD—shameless plug) be revisited once the “panoramic” is over…and when we’re at a place of normalcy!
