To celebrate we are having a little party with the family. Since we are, in a way, celebrating Michigan and the opportunities it presented, we made it a Made in Michigan party. Everything I'm making and other people are bringing are going to be Michigan products.
Here is what I have on the menu so far (it is still a work in progress)
Drinks:
- Michigan Wine (plan on hitting up Whole Foods to get some Michigan wine recommendations)
- Michigan Beer (same Whole Foods Plan)
- Faygo (pop makes an entrance about once a year at our house, I guess this will be it)
Appetizer Snacks:
- Michigan Apples with Carmel Dipping Sauce (I'll make it from Morley caramels)
- Better Made Potato Chips (see note about pop, same applies here)
Dinner:
- Coleslaw (Cabbage from our CSA share)
- Watermelon (from my share)
- Kowalski Hot Dogs
- Burgers (I'll stop at the Rochester Farmer's Market and get some grass-fed beef from a local farm)
- Buns from the Italian Bakery
- Pickels, made them myself from Dill and Cucumbers from the Lake Orion Farmer's Market
Dessert:
- My grandma is making a Traverse City Cherry pie
- My mom is brining Guernsey Ice Cream and Sanders Hot Fudge
- Coffee. I think I will get some Zingerman's roasted coffee for the occasion
I think I need another side dish for dinner. I thought about corn, but that is kind of hard to cook and have ready all at once for a bigger crowd. Leaning toward potato salad because I have a lot of those left from the last couple of weeks of the share.
