While going through it recently, I stumbled upon a delicious Chicken Chili recipe that my sister Lynn learned from her friend in Virginia Beach.

Tailgating is like a religion around here–and it was back when I was in college, too. There were elaborate set-ups, tents, tables, chairs, food and plenty of adult beverages, and one group even brought their hot tub so fans could watch the game on TV and soak at the same time. Legendary. Now, I don’t quite go to those extremes but I do love a good tailgate and all of the things that go with it.

Tailgate parties evolve through the football season, too. I love it when there is a chill in the air and it’s sweater weather. The tailgate menu features soups or chili and all that goes with it. But now, we are coming off a slight heatwave, the menu will have to suit the weather. Although I love a good soup any time of the year, it’s still a bit warm outdoors for chili on the tailgate menu.

Mint juleps in and of themselves are refreshing and I do enjoy them year-round and not just for Derby season. There’s just something about that icy cold julep cup that makes them perfect for a steamy hot summer day. Adding the watermelon was just a bonus because watermelon is pure perfection in the summer and added a curious twist to that classic cocktail.

The Aperol Spritz was the perfect choice to cool down, refresh, and relax on a hot summer day.
