Tailgate appetizers…

However self-serving these recipes may be, touting the freshness of the Whole Foods market (to which I agree and besides, they are, after all, posted on their website), these appetizers are out-of-this-world.  One is better than the next and I can’t wait to try a new one each week.  It is, after all, football season!

Sangria – fresh, fruity, flavorful, frisky, fun…

Nothing like a glass of chilled love potion, ahem, sangria, on a muggy, summer evening.

Want a four-ingredient recipe? Well, here’s a visual recipe card…follow along:

(2 liter bottle)

Shameless plug…or is it?

If you don’t know – I’m a huge Mets fan.  So is my BF.  In some ways we’re polar opposites, in others – we’re a complete match.  Like peanut butter and jelly, if you will.

Anyhow, he is a terrific writer.  Mr. Metsmerized is his nom de plume and  he was a featured blogger this afternoon as MLBlogs highlighted the NL East rivalry of the Mets vs. Phillies! 

Give him a shout – or at least a hit:  http://www.metsmerized.mlblogs.com!

Yay, babe!

(And he is the top-searched “Mets” blog on the league’s site as of this evening, as well!)
