Happy Labor Day friends! This holiday was our FIRST outdoor family/friend gathering in the new house. I'm amazed it took us this long to hold something but doing so many Painted by the Shore events ties up lots of weekend time. I dream of having a remodeled ice cream truck turned art shop on wheels (inspiration here), where we can pull into a fair & set up in minutes or breakdown in seconds; giving Eric & I that extra couple hours at the end of the day (#lifegoals).
We started yesterday using our smoker for the FIRST time (big mistake, should have done a test run beforehand) using this Spicy Smoked Chicken Thighs recipe by Recipe Diaries. Amazing recipe & super easy to put together with all the ingredients, minus chicken, already in our pantry.
Our mistake with the smoker was treating it like a grill & adding too many briquettes which sent the temperature sky rocketing & crisped up the first batch. But by round two we had the temp at a steady 250 degrees and that chicken turned into fall off the bone PERFECTION.
I was TERRIFIED of running out of food which was completely unwarranted because we had TONS for everyone & a fridge full of yummy leftovers hubs & I are excited to munch on for the rest of the week.
I also had to whip up a bowl of that Lemon Garlic Zucchini recipe we posted last week (a-ma-zing) & we made full use of the new fire pit with lots of s'more toasting into the night (fire pit DIY here).

Time to print lots of new pics for those un-filled frames I posted last week (here) & get busy filling PS tote bag orders.... Happy 4 day work week all!
