Nothing like a day filled with bite size snacks, yummy drinks and 7 straight episodes of Mad Men to get you ready for Monday morning. Here are the quick and easy refreshments we put together for our #madmenmarathon.
Smoked gouda, brie, cracked pepper rice crackers, sugared almonds, raw almonds and strawberries… mmm…
The most low maintenance snack ever – sliced cucumbers and hummus.
For something more substantial, I love making this heirloom tomato salad. Only 4 ingredients: heirloom tomatoes, few basil leaves, sprinkle of capers and a spoonful or two of white balsamic vinegar. I also cut up about half a loaf of fresh, crunchy on the outside, plush on the inside, French bread to pile this salad on top of.
Now for the drinks. Again, super easy. Just sliced up some strawberries and limes, and plucked off a few fresh mint leaves. I scooped the fruit into glasses and poured cold sparkling grapefruit juice over everything, then topped it all off with the mint leaves. No alcohol needed. We’ll save that splash of gin for after work, during the week.
And there you have it – refreshing grapefruit mocktails!
Those delicious quick eats lasted us through the entire 7th season of Mad Men. Perfect lazy, relaxing Sunday.
Don Draper, get us through Monday. #madmenmarathon #agencyfastfood
