For those of you watching at home- here are the links to the party we discussed: How to host a Garden-ing Party.... perfect for those with a little space to plant some veggies for summer recipes. And the how to for my salad-in-a jar serving solution. Thanks for the fun, Memphis! I'm in love with this city and cannot wait to come back! Thanks Live @ 9 and Marybeth!

We will post the link to the video once it is up on the WREG site.

Salad in a Jar: Keep canning jars chilled in the fridge or a cooler until serving time.How to Host a Garden-ing Party

Perfect for Earth Day, Mother's Day, a friend's birthday or just an excuse to get the girls together... when you get the whole gang in on the planting, you are planting more than veggies and flowers.... you're planting memories, too.

Salad in a Jar: A Simple Serving Solution for Casual Summer Entertaining.

Mason jars or canning jars are perfect serving pieces and glassware for your casual entertaining. At under $10 for a dozen, they are not only super functional, they are cheap chic.

And don't forget our lemonade station with lots of add-ins and mix-ins!

For Pink Lemonade, I used fresh Driscoll's raspberries and layered that with Chambord Vodka and Chambord Raspberry Liqueurper serving to make the adult version of pink lemonade. FYI: I like to soak the raspberries in the Chambord for a bit before serving. Make kid-friendly Pink Lemonade by simply adding a little grenadine. You can find it in the section of the grocery store with the bar supplies and bar mixes.

MARTIE'S PINK PARTY LEMONADE

1 1/2 ounces Chambord Pink Vodka

1/2 ounce Chambord liqueur

5 ounces fresh lemonade

7 fresh raspberries, soaked in Chambord

Freeze the lemonade and allow it to thaw slightly so it is slushy at serving time so you don't have to shake each drink in a cocktail shaker. Add the remaining ingredients. Stir gently. Float the raspberries on top. Serve with a straw.

As the lawyers say, enjoy responsibly!! Cheers!
