I absolutely love long weekends.
Especially when you get Mondays off from work.
(I’ve always felt like Monday is the best day of the week to be off work – somehow it makes your weekend feel exponentially longer, and your week feel that much shorter!)
And we’re only 1 day away from a long weekend.
Hooray for Labor Day! The husband and I are going off the grid for a few days, to catch up with family and get some much needed R&R. Before we head out, I thought I’d share some of my favorite recipes to make your backyard parties, BBQs, and get togethers even more tasty

The Best Vegetarian Chili Ever

I hope your extended weekend was a good one Anjali! Although I imagine if you ate food like this that it couldn’t be anything but great! The vegetarian quesadillas look particularly fabulous! And I love that you topped them with avocado! Such a tasty way to bump up the fiber content just a bit.
Thanks so much Kati! My weekend / vacation was amazing – spent about 4 days down in Paso Robles (wine country) and then another 5 days in Hawaii! It was a fabulous week+ off
I’m sure you will love the quesadillas! Avocado is one of my favorite toppings for mexican food – totally agree, they’re great for added fiber and for adding healthy fats to your meal too!
That sounds amazing!! Definitely a great way to spend some time off.
Wow, everything looks so yummy!! I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend, I know that I did.
Thanks so much! I did have an awesome Labor Day weekend – filled with yummy food and wine
Glad to hear you enjoyed the long weekend too!
Wow!! All things are looking delicious. I also like to make different types of delicious recipes. I really admired on your effort for making this recipe.
Thanks Rachel! Hope you had a great long weekend!
The ooey gooey chocolate cupcakes with marshmallow frosting look so delicious. I love everything chocolate. Might I suggest that you make your next batch with chocolate from http://novachocolate.com? I’m totally going to make some of those cupcakes for halloween.
Hi Adam! Thanks so much! I’d love to try your chocolate in these cupcakes – feel free to send me a note at pickyeats@gmail.com if you want to chat about it more. Thanks again!
