Happy 4th of July!!! Here’s a red white and blue (and green) salad to celebrate! We are headed to a picnic/cornhole tournament at a friend’s house! What are you up to today/this weekend? Friends, fireworks, and booze? I’m in. Just remember, no one wants to see a recording of fireworks in your insta story 😂 👯‍♀️🎇🍻
Tomorrow's the 4th of July, so I hurried up to get this post ready for you TODAY, just in case you weren't sure what to make yet! These burgers are loaded with blue cheese and caramelized onions, and they are perfect for your holiday grilling plans 🔥(or ya know, any day).⁣ ⁣ I bought the ground beef from my friends Keyfarm Premium Beef at @bellefontemarket_gamblemill, and it was just screaming to be made into burgers.⁣ ⁣ Grab the recipe link from my bio or front and center at www.mariamakes.com⁣ ⁣ #eatlocal #farmersmarket #grillingseason #summereats #mariamakes⁣
Spotted in the garden: the first baby tomatoes! I kept it simple this year with (lots of) tomatoes, green beans, zucchini, basil, and a couple of peppers. Do you have a garden this year? Raised beds, pots, or in the ground?! What did you plant?
PSA: Have you had these Sweet & Spicy Pecans from @traderjoes!? 🔥 They are my new favorite salad topper!⁣ ⁣ Work-from-home lunch on HARD REPEAT: Spring mix, baby arugula, canned beets (don't judge, a girl's gotta keep things simple), goat cheese, those pecans, and Balsamic Sweet & Sour Dressing.⁣ ⁣ Google "maria makes sweet and sour" to find the dressing recipe! It's my Grandma Miller's recipe, but I often mix it up. (This time I used 1/4 cup honey in place of sugar and balsamic vin instead of apple cider vin!)⁣ ⁣ What's your favorite salad topping of the moment?⁣ ⁣ #mariamakes #easylunch #mariamakesabigasssalad #saladonrepeat #summerlunches #lunchmealprep
