All Star Menu

Written by Rachel, Posted in Thoughts

It’s baseball time. That and the summer fruits and veggies are two of the things I like most about summer (two of the most or two of the only?).

I grew up rooting for the Blue Jays. My brother and I jumped and cheered so hard when they won the World Series (I don’t remember if it was the first or the second one) that we knocked our VCR off the TV and it fell and made a dent in the wall.

I love baseball. It’s the only sport that I will sit down and watch. I know some find it boring. Not me.

My team is the Red Sox now. I will always be a bit of a Jays fan, but when we watched the Red Sox win the World Series over our 1st anniversary trip in 2007, we fell in love. And they became our team. Husband didn’t love baseball coming into our marriage. That was something that I brought. So it’s been something that we’ve grown to love to do together. We watch our team. We eat hot dogs and chili, we drink Blue Moon, we holler at the umps when they make terrible calls, we laugh at how much Don and Jerry laugh during their broadcast… We just love it. We hope to go to Fenway Park soon to see the Red Sox live… Hope hope hope…

In the meantime, we’ll watch at home. We’d watch every game if we could. And every year we look forward to the All Star Game. In part because it’s baseball, but also because it’s an excuse to have a themed dinner.

Our menu might include…

Any of these kinds of PIZZA: Hello, Bacon Pizza, BBQ Apple Bacon Pizza, Bell Pepper Pizza, BLT Pizza, and Taco Pizza… I love you ALLLLL!

Crispy Potatoes with Chili and Cheese: Add already amazing Summer Chili to also amazing Crispy Potatoes and top with cheese and fresh tomatoes. Oh boy, did I do something right here or what?!

Bacon and Egg Burgers with Spicy Roasted Potato Salad:Ã‚ Bacon and egg on a burger is a good idea. Roasting potatoes and making them into a Potato Salad is amazing. Eating these together… mind blown!
