Watermelon Mojito Recipe

 

I have had some requests for this thirst quenching recipe. 

As the Aussie Summer heats up, watermelon is the fruit platter filler of choice!

The best match for your fruit platter? A cocktail of course! You can use your off cuts for this recipe!

Just throw the pieces you don't put on your fruit platter, into a blender, and you've already completed step 1! 

Clever Trevor! Here it is!

Pizza Party Station - Free Printable

I couldn't find any free printables online for our woodfire pizza night so - I made my own!

Included in the free printables are a variety of sizes so that you can label individual items. I used it for:
- Pizza Station sign
- Base sign - so you know to start at the dough
- Sauce labels in matching jars

I made smaller labels for all of the food but let's face it - pizza toppings are all pretty self-explanatory!

This printable, unlike any I could find, is completely free. I do ask that you tag & credit @theeventsblogger and link our page when posting images.

We love posting & sharing the latest events and trends. We would love to share your work too! We are the new kids in town, yet have already received great feedback and a great build up of following so far. It's all about exposure - so here is our gift to you!

Enjoy
